I was admitted to the practice of Law in 1974. In the 44 years since then I have devotedmy career to representing folks who have been put upon by the powers of the State and Federal Government. My clients most often face the loss of their property, freedom as well as the Death Pemalty. I work tirelessly to protect them against the inexhaustible resourse of the government and get them home safe as quickly as possible.. I was a bad alcoholic and cocaine abuser for a number of years.  Through good luck and tremendoul outpouring of love and support from my family, friends and the profession I have been given reprieve from that hell for close to 15 years. Now in my life and work I am well suited to understand and advocate for those who are still suffering the consequences of their bad choices and addictions. I devote as much time and energy as it takes to be of assistance to suffering members of my profession.. I am an avid skier. I was a member of the National Ski Patrol when I was In College. I was a ski racer and a member of the USSA for many years.. I am an avid horseman.

I owned and operated a working Navaho Churro sheep ranch in San Miguel county New Mexico for 20 years.

I want my clients to know from the first time we speak how much I care about them and their case. I practice criminal defense because no one's life should be defined by their worst day, and because everyone has value and an important story to tell. Turning those values and that compassion into a zealous defense is at the core of the service Power Law provides.. I practice holistic criminal defense. This means that I not only strategically defend a client in the case they hire me for, but I will address any underlying concerns while we work together and set my clients up for success. I have extensive experience with cases involving mental health and substance use issues.. In addition to criminal defense, I am passionate about criminal justice policy reform and access to mental health, and I am involved in a number of organizations and projects to further those goals.

I like to help clients focus on moving forward, into the lives they want to live post-divorce, including being the best co-parents they can be.  I want to help them move away from the negativity they have often been living in for a long time before they call me.. Where it is possible, I like to help parents create the new structures that are going to support all family members.  The best court orders cannot tap into the creativity and problem-solving that parties, who know best what they need for themselves and for their children, can bring to the part of the process that takes place outside of a courtroom.
