We are experienced in all motor vehicle accidents, including motorcycle accidents, accidents on interstate highways, drunk-driving accidents and other accidents caused by negligence or defective automobile parts.

Medical Malpractice

Injuries due to medical negligence can arise when there is a failure to diagnose a disease or injury, unreasonable delay in treatment, incompetent treatment, inadequate monitoring of patients, administration of the wrong medications or the wrong dose, failure to transfer to other facilities better able to handle the patient's condition, or failure to perform proper diagnostic tests. We have successfully sued public and private medical professionals and hospitals in New Mexico and Arizona.*

Federal Indian Law

Our firm has extensive Federal Indian Law experience focused on protecting the rights of tribal members in cases involving Indian gaming, tribal government, land and water rights, economic development, tribal taxation, lease of mineral resources and operation of tribally controlled schools. We have recovered land and won millions of dollars* for tribal clients, helping tribes increase economic self-sufficiency. Dan Rosenfelt has written scholarly publications on federal Indian law, as well as co-authored the first edition of the casebook, Federal Indian Law, used widely in national law schools. In addition to representing tribal members, we also represent non-Indian businesses dealing with tribal governments or operating on tribal land.

Criminal Defense

We offer aggressive advocacy to protect the rights of criminal defendants in cases involving both felonies and misdemeanors. Forrest Buffington has extensive experience in criminal cases involving assaults, robberies, drug cases, sex offenses, violent crimes, and gun offenses.
