New Mexico Personal Injury and Criminal Defense Lawyer
Helping Injured Plaintiffs and Those Accused of Crimes in New Mexico
I love what I do. It's that simple. It is that passion for what I do that pushes me to do the best for each and every client.
I have been working in law offices since 1989. I started out as a runner in a law office in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I learned the profession from the ground up. I have had the privilege to work with and learn from some of the best attorneys in this State, if not the nation. I have always believed in what I do and in representing every client zealously. I find it rewarding to represent the "little guy" and "underdog" against the "goliaths" and "wrongdoers." When you love what you do and believe in what you do, you excel at it.
Experience and skill get the best results. My clients depend on me to give a voice to their interests and provide personal attention to their cases. I have tried over 150 cases and have mediated over 100 more.

A Compassionate and Firm Personal Injury Attorney
If someone breaks the rules or is negligent and causes you or a loved one injury, they should expect to be held responsible and accountable for the harms and losses they have caused. All too often people don't accept responsibility. All too often the insurance companies involved won't tell you about available coverage that would help you, or they find excuse after excuse not to pay, or they delay, delay, and delay. Personal injury cases have become increasingly complex because insurance companies have changed their business practices to make the claims handling process more difficult for the unwary and unrepresented.
I know the rules. I know the process. Let the Law Office of Matthew Vance, P.C., help you or your loved one with your personal injury matter. I would be happy to sit down with you and discuss your situation with you at a free initial consultation. Contact my office at (505) 242-6267 to schedule a time to meet.
A Strong and Effective Criminal Defense
I know what is at risk if you have been accused of a criminal offense, whether charged as a misdemeanor or felony. The immediate and collateral consequences can be severe. Not only can your freedom be at risk but so too can your livelihood and lifestyle. Even convictions for misdemeanor offenses can have lifelong consequences. Certain misdemeanor convictions can prevent you from possessing a firearm for the rest of your life or prevent you from receiving federal financial aide, including student loans. There is a lot of political pressure for District Attorneys and Judges to appear tough on crime and to make an example of people regardless of the human consequences in your particular situation. Don't underestimate the importance of having an experienced and skilled attorney to assist you with your case. From arrest to trial, I am focused on protecting your rights and minimizing penalties. I handle all types of criminal cases, including DUI/DWI, domestic violence crimes, and felony crimes. I know New Mexico DWI law and how to navigate the complexities of a criminal case.
