Comprehensive legal services tailored to your needs
When you're facing criminal charges, you need a lawyer who knows the system inside and out. Saul Goodman brings years of courtroom experience to every case, fighting aggressively to protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome.
From misdemeanors to serious felony charges, Saul understands that a criminal accusation can devastate your life - affecting your job prospects, housing options, and personal relationships. That's why he leaves no stone unturned in building your defense.
Saul Goodman's criminal defense strategy combines thorough case preparation, aggressive motion practice, and skillful negotiation. Unlike many attorneys who push clients toward quick plea deals, Saul prepares every case as if it's going to trial - giving the prosecution incentive to offer better terms or risk facing him in court.
Key elements of our criminal defense approach include:
No. Absolutely not. Despite what officers might tell you, speaking without your attorney present rarely benefits your case. Remember that anything you say can and will be used against you. Call Saul immediately before making any statements.
Yes, Saul can help at any stage of the criminal process, from investigation through appeals. However, it's always best to involve legal counsel as early as possible.
Fees vary depending on case complexity, but Saul offers flexible payment plans and free initial consultations. Remember that the cost of inadequate representation often far exceeds attorney fees.
If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you deserve compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Saul Goodman has extensive experience helping injury victims take on insurance companies and get the maximum recovery possible.
Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize your claim. With Saul on your side, you level the playing field and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.
Saul Goodman takes a comprehensive approach to personal injury representation, addressing both your immediate needs and long-term recovery:
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Saul only gets paid when you receive compensation through settlement or verdict.
In New Mexico, most personal injury claims are subject to a three-year statute of limitations. However, certain types of claims have shorter deadlines, and evidence can disappear quickly. It's best to consult with Saul as soon as possible after an injury.
Never accept an initial settlement offer without legal counsel. Insurance companies typically offer far less than your case is worth, especially before you understand the full extent of your injuries and losses.
New Mexico follows "comparative negligence" rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault. Your compensation would be reduced by your percentage of fault. Saul works to minimize your assigned percentage of blame to maximize your recovery.
Saul Goodman provides comprehensive legal services for seniors and their families, helping to navigate the complex legal issues that arise during the aging process. From estate planning to protecting against elder abuse, our goal is to ensure dignity, security, and peace of mind for older adults.
Elder law requires sensitivity to both legal and personal concerns. Saul takes time to understand each client's unique situation, developing customized solutions that address current needs while planning for the future. This holistic approach includes:
The best time to plan is well before you need care. Medicaid planning, in particular, should be started at least five years before anticipated need due to "look-back" periods that examine financial transactions.
Most seniors benefit from having both. A will ensures your wishes are carried out after death, while various types of trusts can help avoid probate, reduce taxes, or protect assets from long-term care costs. Saul can explain which options best suit your situation.
Saul can help establish legal safeguards like limited powers of attorney, trusts with co-trustees, and regular financial reviews. If fraud has occurred, he can take immediate legal action to recover assets and hold perpetrators accountable.
The Constitution guarantees fundamental rights to all Americans, but these rights are meaningless without advocates willing to defend them. Saul Goodman is passionate about protecting civil liberties and constitutional rights against government overreach and systemic abuse.
Whether you've experienced an unlawful search and seizure, free speech violations, or other constitutional infringements, Saul has the knowledge and determination to stand up for your fundamental rights.
Constitutional law cases often involve challenging powerful institutions. Saul brings both legal expertise and creative advocacy to these battles:
Yes, though specific legal doctrines like qualified immunity can create obstacles. Saul knows how to navigate these complexities to hold government officials accountable when they violate clearly established constitutional rights.
Always clearly state "I do not consent to this search" and "I want to speak with my attorney." Never physically resist, but don't voluntarily allow searches without a warrant. Call Saul immediately.
Civil rights claims typically have shorter filing deadlines than other cases. Depending on the specific violation and defendant, you may have as little as one to three years to file. Consult with Saul as soon as possible after a rights violation.
When you're involved in a civil dispute, whether as plaintiff or defendant, having a skilled litigator on your side can make all the difference. Saul Goodman brings courtroom savvy and negotiation expertise to resolve conflicts favorably for his clients.
From contract disputes to property conflicts, Saul applies a strategic approach focused on achieving your goals while minimizing the financial and emotional costs of litigation.
Saul understands that civil litigation is often as much a business decision as a legal one. His approach balances aggressive advocacy with practical considerations:
Timeline varies greatly depending on case complexity, court schedules, and whether settlement is possible. Some cases resolve in months, while others may take years. Saul works to move cases forward efficiently while maintaining leverage for his clients.
Many civil disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. These approaches often save time and money while giving you more control over the outcome than a trial. Saul can advise which option best serves your interests in your specific case.
Civil litigation may be handled on hourly, flat fee, or contingency arrangements depending on case type and circumstances. During your initial consultation, Saul will explain the fee structures available for your case and help you choose the option that best fits your situation.
