ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A second New Mexico defense attorney has been publicly identified and accused of taking part in a scheme to get accused drunk drivers off the hook.

The driver’s case was dismissed in January 2024, and according to court documents, the decision was “in the interest of justice.”

The driver explained to KRQE Investigates that he had his suit on and was ready to go to his court hearing when Chavez told him the news of his case getting dismissed. The driver said he thought he was just lucky, until the FBI called him last year...
