Albuquerque Criminal Defense Lawyers

Despite forensic and investigative resources at their disposal, police and prosecutors face certain limitations that often effect the thoroughness of a criminal investigation. At the law office of Bowles & Crow, our criminal defense attorneys work with private investigators, forensic experts, lab technicians, and other professionals in exposing shortcomings and unanswered questions associated with the prosecution's case against our client. Our office tracks down witnesses ignored by police, investigates suspects dismissed by the DA's office, and pursues alternative leads. As a former assistant U.S. attorney, Mr. Bowles is familiar with proper police procedures and can quickly identify the mishandling of evidence, questionable police conduct, and witness tampering.

Before talking to police, contact criminal defense attorneys Bowles & Crow today and schedule an appointment to discuss your case. Our consultations are completely confidential, protected by the attorney-client privilege regardless of whether you hire us or not.

When You're Charged with a Crime

The police don't always tell the accused everything they know about a case. Too often, people charged with crimes try and talk their way out of being arrested. However, anything you say to police of your own free will can be used against you later. Whether you're currently under investigation or have already been arrested, it's essential that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible before agreeing to talk to the police. As your criminal defense attorneys, we act as a barrier between you and the authorities to ensure your rights aren't violated and that you avoid making incriminating statements.

Since the police may not tell you everything they know, commenting on people you know, what you did or did not do, and where you were at a particular date and time may conflict with testimony police have already collected from others. While you may be telling the truth, what you tell the police may contradict what others have told them. If you're eventually charged with a crime, these contradictions can then be used against you later at trial, undermining your credibility and case.

Regardless of the evidence against you, it is important to consider the legal options available to you. While it may be possible to have the charges against you reduced or dismissed altogether, police and prosecutors won't go out of their way to try and find exculpatory evidence in your case. That's why it's important to contact experienced criminal defense attorneys at Bowles & Crow who can review your case and the evidence against you and determine the best strategy for protecting your rights and interests.
