Exhibit A
Criminal Defense Lawyers work in Albuquerque
Albuquerque carries a steady flow of criminal defense searches because the city is the population and courthouse centre for the whole metro, with the Second Judicial District Court and the county jail sitting inside it. DWI is the search that repeats most, because Bernalillo County charges it in volume and people look for help the same night. Beyond that, searches come from people facing domestic violence counts, drug possession, shoplifting and probation violations, plus a steady line of federal matters tied to the courts downtown. The firms competing for these searches are mostly small owner run practices, one or two attorneys with a paralegal, rather than franchises, and a good share of the paid search is bought by a handful of firms that advertise on the interstate corridors. Demand is there every week of the year and it spikes around holiday enforcement periods.
