Legal professional Kathleen (Kathy) Love of Albuquerque is a partner at McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya & Love, PA. Focused on equal justice in civil legal matters, Kathy Love is on the board of directors of Equal Access to Justice, which raises money and supports legal aid organizations including New Mexico Legal Aid (NMLA), which has offices throughout the state, including in Albuquerque, Roswell, and Santa Fe.
NMLA serves low-income families and individuals by providing civil legal advocacy, representation, education, and training. Some of the training provided by the organization comes in the form of legal clinics. Residents whose incomes qualify them to attend do not have to pay for the clinics. Divorce and unemployment insurance compensation are two of the topics covered regularly by the clinics. In the Albuquerque office, an unemployment insurance compensation clinic takes place once monthly on a Friday morning. Pro se divorce clinics occur twice monthly, and attendees benefit from advice regarding the complete divorce process and learn the steps of filing a petition for divorce. These sessions are led by qualified attorneys who are then available to answer individual questions. Interested residents must book a place in advance by contacting the NMLA office in their area. Attorney Kathleen Love is one of 4 women partners at the firm of McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya, and Love (MCML), P.A., in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her firm represents "David's" against "Goliaths". She seeks justice for her clients when they have been wronged in the most unimaginable ways - lost loved ones, paralyzed, defrauded - against the government, hospitals, insurance companies and large corporations. Her practice is unique in that she does not just seek money compensation for her clients, but Kathy Love and her firm strive for changes in the law and in corporate practices to make the community safer in the future.
Kathy Love’s recent cases include a wrongful death suit against the Albuquerque Police Department after two officers shot and killed a 27-year-old man in his own backyard. She and her law partner tried this case to a verdict of over $6 million on behalf of the family of the victim, Christopher Torres. The most important part of the Court's findings for the Torres family and Kathy Love were the Court's findings that there was no credible evidence that Christopher Torres had caused any threat of danger to the officers when they shot him. Kathy Love's clients, the Torres family, still hope the officers will be disciplined by APD for their actions and have brought civil rights claims against the City of Albuquerque for creating a culture of excessive use of deadly force as found by the Department of Justice. The family hopes their trial and their on-going efforts will lead to changes in APD polices that better protect citizens in the future and they will continue to participate in public meetings and negotiations until changes are made. |
