Kristin Harrington P.C. primarily practices in criminal defense and domestic relations or family law in Farmington, NM. However, she is open to other legal issues that do not fall under those two categories.
Her first two years of practice in law, she enjoyed working at the public defender's office in Aztec, NM. She participated in the development of a probation-like program called Treatment Court which is supervised by District Judge Karen Townsend.

Child Support is calculated by the number of days each parent has the child(ren) in his/her custody and the respective incomes of each parent. The calculation of income can be complicated by a number of factors that may require litigation or agreement to resolve.
Child Custody and Visitation
If you have just been served divorce paperwork or you are considering making that first step, there are a number of factors to consider when approaching this pivotal point in your life. An attorney can help address your financial situation, living arrangements, possible spousal or child support, child custody, and visitation rights, as well as other concerns that will be impacted.
Paternity
I do a variety of family law type cases such as Paternity actions, Divorces, Grandparent Right’s cases, Restraining Orders and Guardianships. I also do any kind of criminal cases, including felonies, misdemeanors, and traffic tickets.
I primarily practice criminal defense and domestic relations or family law, but I am open to other legal issues that do not fall under those two areas.
DUI/DWI
Driving under the influence is a criminal offense. If you or someone you know has been charged with a DUI or DWI, it can have a serious impact on your life. With the right legal counsel, your rights will be represented in the most effective way possible.
Traffic Violations
Related charges may include, but are not limited to, suspended licenses, DMV hearings, reckless driving, and accidents or injuries in connection with a DUI/DWI.
Misdemeanors
Whenever you have contact with police officers, it is important to obtain legal counsel immediately. It is your right to do so. The law is very complicated and is constantly changing so you will want to know how to protect your rights. Whether you think you actually did something wrong or if you are maintaining your innocence, only an attorney can provide the utmost damage control when you are facing criminal charges.
Drug Crimes
There are many different types of drug-related charges and offenses. Depending on the specific charge, it takes experience to understand what your legal defenses are and challenge the prosecution. Whether it is marijuana possession or something more serious, you have come to the right attorney to defend you.
Restraining Order
Domestic violence can happen against anyone. It is a crime that does not discriminate against a person's gender, age, or sexual orientation. It can occur in a variety of ways. If you believe you are a victim of domestic violence, hiring an attorney can expedite the legal process of obtaining a restraining order.
