Frequently Asked Questions

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all strategy, LeBlanc Law evaluates each case's specific facts, evidence, and opportunities before building a defense. This means examining police reports, witness statements, and prosecution strategy tailored to your exact situation in the New Mexico legal system.

The firm handles everything from misdemeanors to homicide, including DUI/DWI, felony charges, drug crimes, assault and battery, domestic violence, property crimes, weapons charges, and violent crimes. Clients throughout Albuquerque and surrounding New Mexico communities are represented at every stage of the process.

Yes — same-day consultations are available, and flexible payment options make representation accessible when urgency matters most. Appointments are held in person at the Albuquerque office on Fifth Street or via Zoom for clients throughout the region.

A proactive DUI/DWI defense starts by examining whether the traffic stop was lawful, whether field sobriety tests followed NHTSA standards, and whether breath or blood tests were properly administered and maintained. The firm files motions to suppress evidence when procedures deviate from the law and prepares for trial when the state's case is weak.

Misdemeanor convictions in Albuquerque can create lasting barriers to employment, housing, and licensing — making quality defense critical even for lower-level charges. Felony cases carry more severe penalties and proceed through Bernalillo County District Court, requiring counsel experienced in state court procedures and local prosecutor relationships.

LeBlanc Law handles both the criminal defense and any family law implications — including protective order hearings and custody complications — simultaneously. Defense begins with investigating the complainant's account, examining evidence for inconsistencies, and determining whether charges stem from mutual conflict or misunderstanding.

Drug cases often turn on whether law enforcement had probable cause to search and whether evidence was properly collected and preserved. LeBlanc Law challenges Fourth Amendment violations that could suppress prosecution evidence and argues for charge reduction based on quantity, intent, or procedural errors by law enforcement.

The firm challenges the violation itself, questions whether conditions were clearly explained, and negotiates with probation officers and prosecutors before the violation hearing. Proactive defense means building your case early — not scrambling after you've already appeared before a judge.

Yes. The firm handles custody, divorce, separation, military divorce, same-sex divorce, and estate planning alongside its criminal defense practice. When criminal charges intersect with family law — such as domestic violence cases affecting custody — LeBlanc Law can address both proceedings at the same time.
