With the understanding that lawyers and law firms play a vital role in the preservation of society, and with the concepts of fairness, integrity, personal responsibility, preparation and mutual respect as our guidelines, we strive to provide quality legal services and a pleasant, professional environment for our clients .

Our firm is proud of the role we play in the preservation and progress of the law in New Mexico. We have advanced the interpretation of the law in cases before state and federal appellate courts.

Our Albuquerque trial lawyers have been successful in recovering just compensation for many clients who were injured in car accidents, truck accidents, workplace accidents, and other accidents caused by someone else's carelessness.

While most of the work we do is not confined to a single field of the law, our services can be categorized into three general areas:
1. Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
We provide our clients with a full range of personal injury legal services designed to obtain compensation in cases where fault can be established. Our attorneys work with clients who were injured in motor vehicle accidents as drivers, passengers and pedestrians; hurt by defective products or dangerous premises; or injured while at work.

In each of these situations, we realize that the most important first step is to ensure that you get the medical care you need and deserve. We can help you not only address obvious physical injuries such as broken bones, but also evaluate mental changes, behavioral changes, and decreases in your ability to handle tasks that used to be routine. To learn more about personal injury claims, contact us at our Albuquerque law office or call us at (505) 242-9311.
2. Services for Other Disputes
Employment Law
The actions of employers, teachers and law enforcement officers can be motivated by the wrong considerations. Failing to consider you for a promotion or educational opportunities or restricting your civil rights for factors unrelated to objective criteria is illegal. You cannot be discriminated against or harassed because of your race, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, handicap, or disability.

3. Small Business Services
For interested businesses, we provide a business law newsletter, in which we cover topics such as types of business organizations available, what questions can be asked in hiring new employees, and what to do and not do when terminating an employee. We have represented small businesses in federal and state courts regarding claims of employment discrimination, contract disputes, and many other business law matters.

Other Practice Areas
The Jaffe Law Firm is available to assist with many other legal disputes and problems, including those that involve consumer fraud, lemon laws, education law, civil rights, employment discrimination and other civil litigation. We have acted as counsel numerous times for the Corrections Corporation of America, representing corrections officers. Within the state, we have acted for New Mexico as part of the state's risk management team, representing foster parents and police officers. We have also defended corporations from allegations of asbestos contamination.
