I called this firm regarding my interest in estate planning. Spent 1 minute on the phone with Karin and that's all I could tolerate. Maybe she was having a bad day? Who knows, but she was rude and condescending. I hung up on her and took my business elsewhere.

I met Sarita, last year, when I was looking for an immigration attorney. I have used her services for immigration purposes.
I found Sarita, as an attorney, to be very professional and very focused. She is thorough and organized.
As a person she is, elegant but outspoken, charming, with a great sense of humor.
I recommend her company wholeheartedly and wish it success.

Joe Wiseman is the most disappointing attorney I have ever encountered. He handled a domestic case for me and used various tactics to increase billable hours. I found his approach highly unethical and felt deceived.

Due to my own divorce and family challenges, I have needed to navigate the family court system for the past 12 years. Initially, I worked with multiple lawyers in both collaborative and non-collaborative divorce settings in some of the largest offices in town who were professional and responsive but simply weren’t up to the challenge, leading to painful and very costly setbacks. I needed better legal support quickly and a friend referred me to Joe after he had transformed a challenging situation for her family.
Working with Joe allowed me to finally breathe easier as I faced court, knowing I had an expert on my side who cared and worked hard for the best possible outcomes. In the following years, numerous friends and acquaintances also went though divorces and their experiences were the same: Joe told them the truth, worked tirelessly, got the best outcomes possible, and protected them and their children, helping them feel safe throughout the process.
After all of this, I can say unequivocally that Joe Wiseman is the best family law attorney in town. As a father himself and a guardian ad litem, he naturally puts the needs of children first. And as a brilliant strategist who understands the ins and outs of family law and our legal environment, he knows how to support, strategize, and achieve the best possible outcomes. Other attorneys may talk a good game, but Joe will tell you the truth straight up and you can trust that his instincts and strategy are on target every time.
No matter how many challenges come my way due to my own situation, I know Joe has my back, and will work tirelessly to protect my child and our wellbeing. I trust him implicitly. Going through divorce and family court is hard. I would wish every family going through this to find their way to Joe first to save themselves from the cost- both financially and personally- of working with anyone else. We are so fortunate to have Joe and his team here in Albuquerque. His care, skill, strategy, and knowledge have transformed our situation and that of everyone I know who has worked with him. My life and my child’s life are better now, thanks to Joe.

I used M. Torres several years ago in a child custody case. He was the most incompetent and lazy attorney I have ever met, and since him I have worked with some excellent ones.He did nothing but spend my money on completely useless maneuvers that he never followed through in court.His one time arguments to the Judge was pathetic and usless and he came off as foolish and the Judge told him so. He lost my case due to his negligence in producing any viable material to the court dispite his constant promises and billings.His behavior bordered on inappropriately flirtatious with me, as he thinks he charming with female clients.

My best advise is to just avoid all these ORGS. They employ attorneys and advocates who are extremely overt/covert abusive, dismissive and with zero ethics and integrity. They receive donations and federal money to do absolutely nothing to help anyone and this goes for the NMDRNM, Legal Aide and the State Bar of New Mexico. If you have a discrimination or civil rights complaint, then just do it yourself and submit it directly to them instead.

For starters cant give any stars, Michelle Baca only talked to me 2-3 times over the phone never in person for 5 months after asking her help she calls me on a sunday morning waking me up to tell me she will no longer take my case due to the ups and downs of my work she said it was to hard to keep up with . This is unprofessional i did everything asked and she wasted 5 months of my time sends me a list of lawyers some that are no longer in business and hung up on me.
What kind of Disability Lawyer strings you along for 5 months of your life, questioning everything that is wrong with me and not willing to help me saying does not sound right that cant be true but your working, iwas working a part time job tryign to make ends meet and keep a roof over my head always in pain and suffering she did notthing but lie to me and refusal to help never once speaking to me in person it was always her assistant never her. DO NOT hire her she is toxic mean and very very unprofessional in her practice, and i am not the only person that has seen and commented about this.

I had a consultation with this lawyer. She gave me the first 30 minutes for free but she didn't answer anything during that time. After the 30 minutes I had to pay $250
I paid. She was in such a hurry to leave because it was late. So she didn't even try to help me.
Very disappointed.

Finally got divorced because I hired a different lawyer. We had an easy, noncontested divorce that should have been filed quickly and easily. He sent prefilled out paper work without any of the changes we needed, it took months to get any responses. Finally I just made the changes myself. Why pay thousands of dollars to end up doing the job yourself? His partner refused to return my phone calls either when I called asking for help.

Hired Carlos Martinez, He never kept my informed of what was going on with my case. Said it would only cost a certain amount to file and go to court. Ended paying him more money and never once went to court with him. He never gave me my ex discovery never file for an extension on the discovery that was sent to me. Knowing he had messed up and given it to me late and knew I was out of town. Once he was dismissed from my case, he gave me a hard time to get my files to give to my new attorney.

I interviewed for my case, paid in full. Carlos choose not file a entry of appearance, he no showed my court date. I did call the office of Carlos and spoke with his secretary Kim to remind of my court date one month prior.
The day of my court and sitting there by myself with no a show attorney. I called Carlos office. Kim made excuses for Carlos as to why he no showed. Kim states he could not talk to me due to a appointment. A few minutes later I got a call from his office advising my refund check is ready for pick up. I got no explanation from Carlos.

For bring an attorney he was not only unprofessional, he acted rude, arrogant, pompus, and should be reprimanded for his shortsighted line of questioning and gross incompetence.
I am a SENIOR CITIZEN, GIVE ME A BRAKE. I Have sustained multiple head injuries, more than a dozen automobile accidents, (always a passenger), a survivor living through several vicious attacks; to be called a "LIAR" by a snotty-nosed, wet behind the ears individual, who hids out in a "Government" Office, pretending to be assisting Seniors.
Although We may be disadvantaged financially, we deserve equal respect and service as any other citizen. This Michael Mcguire, asks me several questions, I answer truthfully, he repeats what I say. I say yes, I continue to inform in further detail. He says,
"YOUR LYING! YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH OR NOBODY WILL HELP YOU!"
The nerve! He says, hold on a second, let me run that by one of my collegues, because I don't think I want to take this case!
Wow! Unbelieveable!
It's like some young persons go to college, earn a degree and think they have a free pass to dis the elderly, disabled, and disadvantaged.
We get nailed by unscrupulous, money hungry, wolves just to be verbally smacked upside the head by one of those so called attorneys still earning his wings. Shame on you MM. Shame on you. Develop a back bone to genuinely help out those "more complex cases." Don't say "no other attorney is going to help you."
Dream snatcher!
As long as we live in America this will be a government for the people and by the people. I know things in general do not appear to be for the regular folks, but we still have a voice. I'm going to use mine to promote Equal Justice under the Laws of this Nation.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
- Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How Are Business Lawyers Paid?
Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
- Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.
The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.
It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
