I am an attorney in Albuquerque practicing in criminal law and plaintiffs medical malpractice. I also have business interests in the cannabis and cbd space, and am partners in a construction company. I like doing jujitsu and judo in my spare time. I like cigars. I am married to Nancy Murphy Bowles and we have three sons. I have practiced law for 28 years. I spent 5 years as a federal prosecutor in Las Cruces and Albuquerque, trying narcotics, white collar and violent crime cases. I’ve spent the last 22 years fighting on behalf of individual clients in criminal cases and in medical malpractice and wrongful death matters. My biggest satisfaction in the practice of law comes from helping people through some of the worst times in their lives, getting them to the other side successfully, and giving them hope.
