A practicing attorney since 1995, Kathleen “Kathy” Love balances her responsibilities as a mother with her role as partner in the civil law firm McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya & Love, PA, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Outside of her work as an attorney, Kathy Love supports the local nonprofit New Mexico Legal Aid (NMLA).
Since its inception in 1953, NMLA has offered legal representation to underserved communities across New Mexico and acted as an advocate for people who have experienced domestic violence. In recent years, the state’s Access to Justice Commission has furthered efforts to improve statewide legal services. NMLA has maintained a dedication to this goal by presenting a number of programs dedicated to specific advocacy areas. The organization’s Native American Program serves members of nearly 20 local Pueblo Indian communities, providing the legal assistance needed to acquire housing, transportation services, and food. In addition, the program focuses on the various legal issues surrounding federal and tribal rights and recognized Native American status. NMLA also offers Legal Services for Victims of Violence, through which it operates the Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking Helpline to offer immediate access to resources such as housing, medical assistance, and law enforcement. Moreover, the organization provides those in need with pro bono legal services to help them seek financial aid, obtain restraining orders, and overcome unemployment issues.
