I’ve had a great experience with Mr. Ben Davis and his whole staff. They professionally handled my lawsuit in a very comfortable pace. I believe I got the best results in the midst of everything that was going on with my recovery. Also they did a great job at resolving things while I resided in another state. Things went so well I couldn’t ask for more. Everything you’ve done for me has been a blessing. Thanks a million!

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 highly recommend Bonnie Bassan if you're looking for a bankruptcy attorney. She's very knowledgeable and was exceedingly patient with the continuous questions I found to ask. Declaring bankruptcy was not an easy decision for me and the guilt and shame I felt was very strong. Bonnie was very compassionate and understanding of the emotional roller-coaster I was on.

Eva and her team are the best. Caring and compassionate, yet also tenacious and don’t give up! My husband was harmed quite severely and Roadrunner, made sure we were compensated for the trauma. Don’t hesitate to call them, even if you are dealing with your own uninsured motorist.
We are very grateful for the assistance. Would not have worked out so well on our own. I’m sure of it.

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.

I engaged Betsy Salcedo and Gregory Gahan to help with two cases. Betsy Salcedo was the presiding attorney. We had meetings, emails and discussions for how my case would be handled. Gregory Gahan was my court representative.
He was completely unprepared for my hearing despite all of my own preparations which cost me a lot of time and money. I did a ton of leg work for him.
Gregory Gahan waited until the last minute to prepare for my hearing and then completely blew everything despite Betsy Salcedo's assurance that they were in fact prepared.
Betsy Salcedo and Gregory Gahan will drain your retainer and finances and then when it is time to represent you in court, completely fail.
Behind my back and without my permission Gregory Gahan asked the opposing party for a Motion for Continuance on the day of the hearing....after knowing with Covid and the death of the Presiding Judge I had eagerly awaited this hearing for 6 long months.
I ended up being pigeon holed into an agreement that I was sorely disappointed in. If Betsy Salcedo and or Gregory Gahan blew your case, please report them to the NM State Bar and the BBB. Post your story, be heard.
Betsy Salcedo and Gregory Gahan are scam artists. They should not be practicing law. If that is not enough, Betsy Salcedo is completely disrespectful. Betsy Salcedo has a bad habit of talking over people. Betsy Salcedo is arrogant and will insult you and demean you.
I truly wish I never met Betsy Salcedo or Gregory Gahan. They have drained my bank account and my time. They completely botched my court case, they failed to defend me as promised.
Why on earth would a lawyer who is hired in good faith wait until the day before the hearing to get the hearing audio. Why would a lawyer go behind a client's back and ask for a Motion that a client had not approved. Furthermore, Gregory Gahan did not copy me on the email he sent the opposing party.
When I asked Betsy Salcedo and Gregory Gahan to please send me a copy of the email requesting a Motion for Continuance which I did not approve they refused. I made this request 3 times.
I finally had to terminate both of these lawyers. I guarantee they will overcharge me even though they failed to do their job.

LICENSE IS INACTIVE. Worst attorney ever! The things you did on my case Greg was unethical! And you know exactly what unethical things I'm talking about I should have turned you in. Research this attorney. He has had big problems of his own. I wouldn't waste my money. Failure. How does an attorney with 20 plus years experience only have 3 reviews? Please. Its because he is a horrible attorney. Find another attorney. Many more better attorneys out there. Go get yourself one. Greg forgets his lack of abilities have life long affects on people. Find an attorney who cares about you. They are out there.

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.
If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:
- Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
- Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
- Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
- Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
- Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
- Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.
Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.

How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
- Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
- Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.
Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer
Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths. -
