Dave Joeckel
Lawyer
Dave Joeckel, OwnerDave Joeckel is and always has been a trial lawyer. He has a genuine talent for resolving disputes. He attended Texas Tech University, where he was a 3-year starter and 4-year football letterman for the Red Raiders. After earning his BBA in Lubbock, he pursued his JD from Texas Tech Law School, where he was appointed to Law Review and graduated with honors in 1986.

In 2016, Dave was admitted to the New Mexico State Bar, where his practice has grown and thrived.
Dave is equally comfortable in practicing before state or federal courts. Dave has tried more than twenty trials to a jury and has handled appeals before at least ten appellate courts. In Texas and New Mexico, virtually all cases go to mediation. For this reason, Dave is a trained mediator.
