BFD Lawyers
Law Firm in Albuquerque, NM
Bankruptcy: We have experience helping individual clients file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. New Mexico allows a debtor/petitioner choose between state and federal exemptions; the exemption choice can be complicated, but an experienced attorney can help the debtor keep as much of their property possible while getting some of their debts discharged.Business Law: As mentioned above,we have extensive business experience both from operating various businesses and educational emphasis in business related subjects. Business law can essentially be broken down into several sub categories, but common business law task include contract review and drafting, commercial litigation, and entity formation. In addition to general business law matters,we are experts in nonprofit formation and application for tax exempt status.
Criminal Defense:We can handle your misdemeanor charges or can help you deal with a DUI or DWI charge. Having an attorney in the criminal context is important for several reasons; being convicted of charges can have adverse consequences when looking for a job, not to mention the possibility of fines and even jail time.
Estate Planning: BFD Lawyers can help you plan how your assets will be distributed at your death by drafting a will or trust; the alternative is that the State decides who gets your property. A will is also important for families with minor children, because a will can allow the parents to designate the children's guardians in the unfortunate event something happens to them. In the event that your estate is worth more than $5 million dollars, a proper estate plan can help your heirs avoid costly estate taxes. Our attorneys can also draft a trust to avoid probate (discussed below), which can be a costly process.
Family Law: Family lawcan be broken into subcategories. For example, our attorneys can help you file a divorce petition, determine paternity, get a name change, obtain an annulment, or can guide you through the adoption process. Failure to hire an attorney in many of these areas will usually require more time be spent to complete the task at hand.
Personal Injury: Whether you were involved in a car accident, or were injured by someone's negligence, BFD Lawyers can help you get the compensation you deserve. Often with personal injuries cases there is an insurance company that will ultimately be paying for your injuries. The insurance companieswant to offer as little as possible to settle claims against them. An attorney can help you deal with the insurance companies so that you get the compensation you deserve.
Probate: The process of probate can be an emotional one. This process involves the gathering of the deceased's assets, the paying of creditors, and the distribution of assets (according to either a will or intestacy). The probate process can be hard for someone that is grieving the death of a loved one. Our attorneys are experienced with probate administration and can give you peace of mind in administering the estate of your loved one.
Taxes: Whether you have Federal or State tax issues, our attorneys can help you deal with your tax liabilities. Our attorneys can help you negotiate with the Internal Revenue Service, or New Mexico Department of Tax and Revenue to resolve your tax problem; sometimes this involves an offer in comprise (basically a settlement with the taxing entity) or setting up a payment plan.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in New Mexico
read moreThe most common types of bankruptcy filing are commonly referred to as either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Chapter 7 is far more common, though there exist many reasons to choose one over the other, depending upon your specific circumstances. There are many reasons why an individual would decide to pursue a Chapter 13 bankruptcy over a Chapter 7 bankruptcy; in some cases the prospective bankruptcy filer may not have the option to file a Chapter 7 due to income guidelines or other prohibitions. Briefly, Chapter 13 is the repayment of debts using the filing party's income over a period of time.
