Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, attorney Kathleen “Kathy” Love has served in private practice with McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya & Love for the past 17 years. Alongside her everyday work as an attorney, Kathy Love belongs to numerous professional organizations, including the New Mexico Criminal Defense Lawyers Association (NMCDLA). When an individual is charged with a crime, the record of that charge (and arrest if it occurs) can follow the person for the rest of his or her life. NMCDLA doesn’t believe that should be the case. That’s why the organization has taken an official position on the issue, arguing that expungement should be an option for individuals who find themselves in this situation. Background checks can often provide incomplete or misleading information, which means that a person who was found innocent of a crime or who had his or her charges dropped can still face employment, financial, and other barriers. NMCDLA advocates for an easy and complete option for these individuals to expunge all records of the arrest and/or charges in these situations so that a person receives a fair chance moving forward.
