Civil Rights

The power of the government affects all of our lives and, unfortunately, can be used arbitrarily and violently against us.

All residents in New Mexico and Texas have constitutional and statutory rights to be free from unreasonable search, seizure, and from the use of unreasonable force.

In New Mexico, as of 2021, New Mexicans have a new tool – the New Mexico Civil Rights Act – which expands the rights of New Mexicans to hold the government accountable for violations of their rights.

Our experience with many clients who have suffered serious injuries or death because of police misconduct or government abuse has positioned us to be successful in bringing civil rights cases to trial or settlement.

Civil rights must be effectively enforced both inside and outside the courtroom. To bring justice to our communities, we have deep knowledge in very complicated areas of law to obtain justice for civil rights violations.

Our firm has accompanied hundreds of families through the labyrinth of legal obstacles to seek justice for law enforcement misconduct or government abuse.

Our firm represents individuals and, in case of death, the families of individuals who were unjustifiably hurt or killed by law enforcement.  We also represent persons who were subjected to sexual abuse by officers or suffered injuries by other methods of force, persons falsely imprisoned against their will, and persons subject to arbitrary taking of their property by the government.

Our firm is uniquely positioned to successfully advance civil rights cases through trial or an agreeable settlement because we have deep experience representing many clients over the years who have suffered serious injuries or death because of police misconduct or government abuse.
