One partner has tried injury cases in New Mexico since 1996. The other was born here, raised in Costa Rica, and answers the phone in four languages. That's the whole idea: someone you'd send your own mother to, and someone the adjuster would rather not see on the letterhead.

William has practiced personal injury law in New Mexico since 1996, when he founded his own firm. He is a fifth-generation New Mexican, a graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Law (1987), and a Desert Storm veteran who served as a captain in Army Reserve field artillery. Before law school he earned a degree in management with an emphasis in petroleum management and geology — which is why the oilfield cases make sense to him in a way they don't to most lawyers.
He has handled auto and trucking crashes, traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death, medical malpractice and nursing-home cases across the state, and holds Martindale-Hubbell's Distinguished rating for legal ability and ethics. He has chaired the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of New Mexico.

Malik was born in New Mexico and grew up in San José, Costa Rica. He is a graduate of the University of New Mexico (B.A., honors, 2019) and the UNM School of Law (2023), admitted to the New Mexico and federal bars. He has handled trials, arbitrations, mediations, depositions and multi-party litigation across the state, from Raton to Carlsbad.
He speaks English, Spanish, French and Moroccan Darija. Clients tell their story once, in their own words, to their own lawyer — not to a translator, and not to a call center. Outside the office he holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which his partner says explains his patience with adjusters.
