Company Description

At McGinn Montoya Love Curry & Sievers PA, we are experienced trial lawyers who know what it takes to beat the toughest opponents. From the moment we accept a case, we conduct extensive investigations and reviews; gather and preserve evidence; research legal issues; develop themes, frames, and narratives; and begin creating high-tech exhibits to help insurance adjusters and jurors see the negligence and damages in the case. Over the years, we have found that preparing every case as if it were going to trial increases the likelihood of our clients receiving a fair settlement because we are bargaining from a position of strength.

The harder we work the “luckier” we get, both in and out of the courtroom. With some of the largest verdicts in the state of New Mexico, our results bear witness to our team’s dedication. When we learn of a danger that can be fixed by re-designing an unsafe product, re-training employees, or a change in policies, we partner with clients to obtain those changes as part of the case. We use the law not only to improve your life but to make our community safer through litigation and legislative and regulatory action that promotes real change.

This, to us, is the true meaning of justice.
