Criminal Defense
If you have a criminal history, the type of charge against you, and the evidence that may exist will be assesses in working with you to decide how to defend you against the charges you may face. However, there are many other factors to consider when you are facing criminal charges and our Office seeks to provide you sound advice with the knowledge that the weight of criminal charges is heavy.
General Practice
Our Office is available to advice on general civil matters, to include claims for unjust enrichment, contracts, breach of contracts, employment issues, landlord and tenant issues, collection of judgments, and a variety of other civil matters that may affect your life.
Family Law
Family law is a term that encompasses the areas of Kinship Guardianship, Grand-Parent Visitation, child support, child custody, divorce, dissolution of marriage, spousal support, property dissolution and restraining orders. Family law centers around issues that families face. The Salcedo Law Firm is experienced in all of these facets.
Property Division
We represent spouses and domestic partners throughout the State of New Mexico, including Tribal Courts of Isleta Pueblo and Pueblo of Santa Ana, in divorce and dissolution matters concerning the distribution of community property and separate property. New Mexico is a community property state. This means that both parties are entitled to a 50% share of the property obtained during the marriage.
Child Custody
It is our belief here at Salcedo Law that child custody is the most important issue in all the family law matters. The emotional stability of the children, along with the parent’s time and relationship with the child, are at stake and it is the center of most clients concern.
Child Support:
New Mexico statute of limitation for collection of arrears owed to a custodial party is 14 years. Before you sign a new Order for your driver’s license or any other matter, check your case for the last time a judgment was reflected in an Order and consult with my office to determine how to address these possibly uncollectable child support arrears.
