Injury & Civil Rights Lawyers · New Mexico & Washington

We represent people.

Never corporations.

When a hospital, trucking company, or the government causes serious harm, you deserve lawyers who are only ever on your side.

We take a small number of serious cases — medical negligence, trucking collisions, catastrophic injuries, civil rights, and insurance bad faith — and work each one the way a big case deserves: partners on the file, experts brought in early, and a willingness to fight for you at trial.

Partners on your case

You work directly with David or Amy — not a junior associate or a case manager.

Built for trial

We hire experts early and prepare every case as if it’s going to a jury — because that’s how you get a fair offer.

No fee unless we recover for you

Your case review is free. No pressure, no obligation.

HOW WE HELP

What We Handle

Medical Malpractice

Missed diagnoses, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and birth injuries. When a doctor, nurse, or hospital makes a preventable mistake, we hold them accountable.

Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death

Brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations, severe burns, and the loss of a loved one. When someone else’s carelessness changes a life forever, we make sure the full cost is counted.

Trucking & Serious Vehicle Crashes

Collisions with semis, delivery trucks, and company vehicles. Trucking cases involve federal safety rules, driver logs, and multiple insurers — we move fast to preserve the evidence.

Civil Rights

When police, jails, prisons, or government agencies violate your rights — through excessive force, abuse in custody, or ignored medical needs — we represent your Constitutionally-protected rights.

Insurance Bad Faith

When your own insurance company denies, delays, or lowballs a claim it owes you, it may be acting in bad faith — and you may be able to recover more than the policy itself.

Amy E. Childress

Amy prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. She earned her law degree from the University of New Mexico, where she won the Lewis R. Sutin Trial Advocacy Award on the UNM Mock Trial Team. Her view is simple: clients shouldn’t have to choose between a lawyer who cares about them and one who knows how to try a case. They deserve both.
