Rio Rancho Expungement Attorney
If your criminal case originated in the the city of Rio Rancho, Sandoval County, New Mexico, then your Petition for Expungement must be filed in the Thirteenth Judicial District Court in the district court at 1500 Idalia Road in the town of Bernalillo.
An expungement can be a second chance for those individuals who have completed their probation. A convicted person may appear pro se (“on behalf of oneself”) in district court, but beware of the old adage that “those who represents themselves have a fool for a client.” This old maxim rings true in the expungement process where your counsel must make reasoned arguments to the district judge as to why “justice will be served by an order to expunge” your criminal record of arrest, complaint and final disposition. An Assistant District Attorney (DA) will be given notice of your petition, will file a response and will be able to argue at your hearing that justice will only be served if your record remains unsealed. At Aarons Law PC, we will put forth our best effort to file the most persuasive petition with supporting documents, file a Reply to the DA’s Response in Opposition to your petition, and make the best possible arguments on your behalf at the hearing in district court. No lawyer can guarantee success for every petition for expungement but, as you might imagine, having a well respected and seasoned local defense attorney arguing on your behalf will greatly improve your chances. There are other good lawyers, to be sure, but the lawyers in our firm have over 50 years of experience defending criminal cases throughout northern New Mexico.
