Attorney Kathy Love has long been committed to bringing about substantial changes to protect the most vulnerable citizens. Through her work at McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya, and Love (MCML), attorney Kathy Love has been able to bring justice to those with least access to it. The firm believes that the police departments should protect their citizens, and it works to seek justice and accountability for those who have been harmed, rather than helped, by the police. One example of such a case was Harper v. the Albuquerque Police Department. Larry Harper had walked into the wilderness one night, and his loved ones believed he was suicidal and called the Albuquerque Police, who sent a SWAT team. After two hours, Mr. Harper emerged from the wilderness, and the SWAT team began to chase him, along with a team of dogs. He was eventually shot to death while hiding behind a tree. The law firm settled the case, winning both a monetary reward and 10 major changes to police policies. This outcome is in keeping with MCML’s focus on bringing about real changes in addition to financial justice for victims.
