I highly recommend Martha Villegas. She is very professional, caring, great at communicating, and knows what she is doing. You can tell she loves what she does. Me and my wife are very thankful for all her help. She took care of everything and we didn't have to stress about anything. While we were healing, she was working hard on our case. Thank you again Martha!!

All new injury attorneys are all the same your commercial state that you're for the little guy and when the little guy needs most help you turn them away. If the case doesn't deepen your pockets you don't even try you give us some lame excuse why you can't take our case. Four different attorneys told me the same thing we can't take your case because of some stupid excuse or another. But yet all four of them told me I have a good case. All injury attorneys really need to change your commercials because they're all lies. You wanted my experience well there ya have it.

It was marvelous. I am handicapped and had an incident where I was pushed with verbal insults at work. This law firm is full on cases and cannot accept new client. However they took the time, out of their busy day, to send 3 referrals of law firms that may be able to assist in this matter. That is above and beyond the call of duty THANK YOU.

I was recently charged with something I did not do. I was obviously concerned and hired Mr. Martinez. This was a very new experience for me and it was overwhelming. I was very happy with the service and overall experience. While dealing with the first issue, a second (also false accusation) arose. Mr Martinez took on that case as well. I am very happy to say that he got both cases dismissed.
For one of the cases there was a meeting with a judge and Mr. Martinez handled it wonderfully. The second was dismissed without a trial. He knows what he is doing and can make a tough situation much more manageable. I researched lawyers, and there were cheaper options, but when your freedom and future are at stake, it is worth it to pay for quality representation.
His paralegal Kenna is both professional and pleasant to deal with. Communications were very prompt and she answered my questions and concerns.
Bottom line: Mr. Martinez got the job done and protected my future. I will always be grateful to Mr Martinez and Kenna

At first we were led to believe this law firm to be one of the best in Albuquerque by friends and family members in common. However up to this point we've had no results and have been lied to for more than 7 years, not to mention another family member that has been left waiting for any kind of progress for more than 12 years as well. We are beyond frustrated with these people and very much regret ever picking them as our representatives.

I want to start off by thanking The Law Office of Barry Klopfer for providing an extraordinary service. The level of professionalism and legal knowledge his office has is admirable. We were in desperate need of a legal representative and once we contacted Mr. Klopfer’s office there was no hesitation on acquiring his services. He represented a family member who got charged with a DUI and his license got revoked. During the wait time our relative caught another charge for driving with a revoked license, so it made the situation more difficult. However we had Barry Klopfer to help us out with both cases, and we are pleased to say; the outcome favored us. He got the charges dismissed and solved before having to go to trial. The amount of stress and concern we had prior to having Barry’s firm represent us was insane. Once we hired him, he made the whole experience feel like a breeze. Barry Klopfer and his Law Office worked morning, day, and night on both of these cases. Him and his staff were very attentive and answered all of questions even if it was after hours. We highly recommend him. Also we are from the Eddy county area and distance was never an issue. Best lawyer hands down!
-Quiero comenzar dando las gracias a la Oficina Legal de Barry Klopfer por proporcionar un servicio extraordinario. El nivel de profesionalismo y conocimiento legal que tiene su oficina es admirable. Necesitábamos desesperadamente un representante legal y una vez que nos pusimos en contacto con la oficina del Sr. Klopfer, no dudamos en adquirir sus servicios. Representó a un miembro de la familia que fue acusado de un DUI y su licencia fue revocada. Durante el tiempo de espera, nuestro familiar captó otro cargo por conducir con una licencia revocada, por lo que hizo que la situación fuera más difícil. Sin embargo, tuvimos a Barry Klopfer para que nos ayudara con ambos casos, y nos complace decirlo; el resultado nos favoreció. Él desestimó y resolvió los cargos antes de tener que ir a juicio. La cantidad de estrés y preocupación que teníamos antes de que la firma de Barry nos representara era una locura. Una vez que lo contratamos, hizo que toda la experiencia se sintiera como una brisa. Barry Klopfer y su bufete de abogados trabajaron por la mañana, día y noche en ambos casos. Él y su personal fueron muy atentos y respondieron a todas las preguntas, incluso si era fuera de horario laboral. Lo recomendamos encarecidamente. También somos del área del condado de Eddy y la distancia nunca fue un problema. ¡Sin duda, el mejor abogado!

I recently had the pleasure of working with the Law Office of Barry Klopfer, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the very first consultation, Barry and his team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case.
Barry's deep understanding of the law and his strategic approach gave me confidence throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer my questions, explain complex legal terms, and keep me informed about the progress of my case. His attention to detail and thorough preparation were evident at every stage.
The support staff at Barry Klopfer's office were equally impressive. They were friendly, efficient, and always ready to assist. The entire team worked seamlessly together to ensure my experience was as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Thanks to Barry's dedication and hard work, my case was resolved favorably. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and compassionate attorney, I highly recommend the Law Office of Barry Klopfer. They truly go above and beyond for their clients.

I am incredibly thankful to have found Merrie Chappell and will recommend her to anyone wanting sound legal counsel. Not only do I fully trust her guidance and counsel, I love who she is and the values she brings to the table. She is straight forward, timely in her communication, honest, meticulous and was conservative in her approach with my money. I really appreciate her no nonsense approach. Her staff is also second to none! They are all so timely, kind, professional, and skilled. I will trust Merrie and her staff with any future legal needs I might have. Thank you, Merrie, for caring enough to see all angles of the situation and provide me with all of the information I needed to feel confident with every decision I made regarding my case. I always felt confident that I was well-represented with Merrie.

Darlene Gomez and her staff are highly knowledgeable in their field and I am so grateful to her and her staff in their guidance in our interactions with local and federal law enforcement and Tribal government. We were at a loss when my niece disappeared and it seemed like our voices and concerns were falling on deaf ears, and she heard our cries for help. She is very professional and genuinely cares for her clients. She and her staff have been on this journey with our family throughout this very difficult time in our lives. I feel her persistence in keeping the Missing, Murdered Indigenous People in the media has really making a difference in how the tribal government is reacting to cases. As busy as she is, she makes time to promptly respond to emails and phone calls.

Darlene and her team are the most generous, caring, and professional group of phenomenal women. This law firm genuinely cares about the importance of addressing, contending, and vanquishing racial, fem, and system inequalities/racism experienced by Indigenous people today. Darlene diligently extended her services to us during our time of crisis, not only was she helpful professionally she also assisted in connecting us to resources unique to our case. This law firm is experienced in Indigenous injustice's, rights, tribal legalities, and cases related specifically to violence against women, and missing murdered Indigenous relatives. In our situation we were exhausted, frustrated, and feeling hopeless. Undoubtably with the teams’s legal expertise and leverage, we were able to get immediate response, gain the momentum needed, and finally get resolution when law enforcement failed us. This firm is led by fierce brown women who have the feminine warrior spirit rooted in intergenerational knowledge.

The litigation process is not always a sprint but more a marathon in many cases. During this time you want a group of attorneys to act competently and professionally during the journey. We found that in Kathy Love and Katie Curry at MMLC & S PA. Also Kudos to Katie Marion who was very patient and supportive from the very beginning. They were always available to answer any questions and explain the process. We felt secure knowing they represented our best interests. I would recommend them to anyone seeking these type of services.

We could not be more impressed with the quality and professionalism of our representation from McGinn Law. They are not just excellent attorneys, they are activists, with a sincere desire to deliver justice, as well as to create social change that helps to make our world a safer and better place. They were hard-working, thorough, diligent, competent, caring, and extremely effective with every aspect of our case. They really cared about us and our future, treating us like family. We cannot recommend them highly enough; they performed beyond our highest expectations, leaving us feeling very lucky to have them represent us. Words cannot express our gratitude for having them on our side. Thank you, Elicia and Katie, and the rest of the team, for helping us when we needed it most. We now feel we have become part of the McGinn family, now and into the future.

Questions? We have answers
What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
