I am a newly admitted attorney in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was admitted to practice law in October 2023. I am a Native New Mexican.

I have a passion for helping people with their legal issues, and I am ready to fight for you!

Personal Injury
My practice handles a wide range of personal injury cases, including car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and more. If you have been injured in the past 3 years and it was not your fault, please contact me for a free consultation.
With my experience, I know that even a small accident can turn your life completely upside down. I aim to complete your case as quickly as possible so that you can get your life back on track. I will also help you at each stage of your case, including any property damage claims.

As long as you have all the required documentation, we can file the case quickly to start the process. Please get in touch with me if you need to open a Probate case in New Mexico.
Sometimes, a Probate case does not even need to be opened. If the requirements are met, a Small Estate form can be filled out quickly and easily. Please get in touch with me for assistance with a Small Estate.

Will
A Will is a document that someone (the Testator) creates while they are alive and has capacity. It details what will happen to that person's personal property when they pass and also allows the person to convey rights and ownership of their real property to others. This document can also appoint legal guardians. You can also create a testamentary trust in a Will (See below).

Types of Trusts
Trust
A Trust is a legal document that is used to transfer assets and property to certain beneficiaries.
Revocable Trust
A Revocable Trust can be easily modified while the Grantor or Settlor is alive and has capacity, providing a unique advantage.
Irrevocable Trust
An Irrevocable Trust, a legal document established by a living person with capacity (the Grantor or Settlor), is characterized by its permanence. Once created, this document cannot be easily altered. This is mostly used when someone is on Medicare/Medicaid and cannot have a certain amount of assets or property. The Irrevocable Trust turns into a third party separate from the Grantor or Settlor, and they may be able to keep their benefits.
Testamentary Trust
There are other types of Testamentary Trusts, but the most common one is a simple Testamentary Trust. This Trust holds assets until the beneficiaries reach a certain age or fulfill specific conditions. At the time that the conditions are met, the Trustee distributes the assets to the beneficiary. This is mostly used for younger beneficiaries.
