Client Reviews

I am so thankful for my team of Molly Kicklighter, Eunice, and Audrey. They made my divorce go so smoothly, efficiently, and quickly. I am forever grateful for them!

Working with Janine and her assistant Jessica was relieving. Always professional and efficient. I felt that my needs and concerns were taken into consideration from the beginning to the end. Janine listened carefully to me, she responded with compassion and understanding, she was transparent and honest in her responses, and represented me fully. Her background experience has provided her knowledge that equips her and prepares her for difficult cases, and she handles them with ease.

It was not my first attempt to take care of my near and dear ones after me but definitely the one that was successful, satisfying and a pleasant experience. I perhaps needed a little hand holding and a bid education on estate planning basics which were so adequately provided by Samantha Finlayson Day, Esq., Estate Planning & Probate Attorney, and her team consists of Jessica Anderson (paralegal), and Margaret Harris (legal assistant). I highly recommend this group to anyone for their legal need. Thank you Samantha and the team!

Having some less than stellar dealings with Attorneys in the past I was so pleased to deal with Samantha Day and the team at the New Mexico Legal Group. We had an uncomfortable family matter dealing with the distribution of my deceased brother and Samantha handled the case with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity this matter needed. My wife and I feel very fortunate to have found Samantha to help us through this difficult matter.

Samantha Finlayson Day made settling our mother's estate as seamless as possible. She was efficient, prompt and communicative throughout the whole process.

Ms. Barela, Esq has been the most attentive detailed attorney I have ever worked with. Besides being that bulldog you might need on your case she is also compassionate to the client's needs. She has gone above and beyond what an attorney would do for a client. She made herself available after hours to work around my schedule and supported me by being present at my personal residence when I needed representation during an inspection by my ex-husband. Ms. Barela shows true empathy but don't take that softness to dismay you on her ability to turn over every stone and be on top of every issue. My situation was a very complicated divorce involving many assets and businesses. Additionally, Every staff member I've met in their office is pleasant and helps to make you feel relaxed and welcome.

Shannon was an absolute pleasure to work with. My entire case was handled by her team and I didn’t need to worry about a single thing. Shannon and her team are absolute rockstars.

This place seems quite fair and honest, from my experience. I paid the consultation fee, and Shannon Swett was honest and straightforward with me. Sparing me more trouble that it would have been worth to go down that route. While also pointing me in the right direction for a better solution! I appreciate her candor and professionalism. Her advice was spot on, and I'm glad it worked out the way it did! I'll return with confidence if the need ever arises.
