Kathleen (Kathy) Love leverages more than two decades of experience as an attorney to serve as a partner at McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya & Love, PA, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she focuses on helping underserved members of the community. An advocate for equal legal protection, Attorney Kathy Love supports Equal Access to Justice, a nonprofit that sponsors civil legal services providers that help people with limited resources in New Mexico. An article on the Equal Access to Justice website explains that civil legal aid not only upholds the Constitution’s pledge of “equal justice for all,” it also generates significant economic benefits. According to Laura K. Abel from the National Center for Access to Justice at Cardozo Law School, civil legal aid helps reduce the prevalence of harmful and expensive occurrences, such as repetitive domestic violence incidents. Abel states that custody services and other resources obtained through civil legal aid empower victims to leave abusive environments. By decreasing domestic violence, civil legal aid also cuts public spending on police resources, medical care and counseling for victims, and prison expenses for perpetrators. Civil legal aid can also save public funds by protecting patients' health, decreasing evictions, and increasing adoption rates in the foster care system.
