Client Reviews

Shannon successfully mediated a complicated family matter. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and accessible.

I scheduled a consultation with Matthew Barceleau, a Senior Lawyer at New Mexico Law Group, regarding an issue with my passport being held. Before the appointment, I was fortunately able to resolve the issue on my own. When I informed Matthew, he let me know that I qualified for a refund due to the specific circumstances of my case.I truly appreciated his honesty and professionalism. It’s refreshing to work with someone in the legal field who is focused on helping people rather than just charging fees wherever possible. That level of integrity speaks volumes.Based on this experience, I would absolutely recommend this law firm. They demonstrate a genuine commitment to their clients and show that they are willing to do the work and stand behind it.--Zackariah Griffin

Janine Caller was an absolutely amazing attorney for my extremely contentious and detrimental custody case. She is knowledgeable, precise, and professional. She knows how to state the facts concisely. Thanks to her expertise, she was able to assist me in achieving sole legal and physical custody of my children. My reality is a reality that I dreamt of for years. My only regret is not hiring Janine from the very beginning! I sure would've saved a lot of time and money.Shannon Szumlinski and Jessica Mazanares were the paralegals on my case. They were both so helpful and beneficial to have on this team. I was always notified of court filings and my questions were always answered in a timely manner. My evidence was kept organized and was properly submitted to the courts for filing.I can not thank these ladies enough! They are amazing to have on your side. I will forever be grateful for all that they have done for my family. They have really helped change lives for the better!Thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart!

Their attorneys are very knowledgeable and professional. Their legal prowess in the court room is unmatched. Highly recommend!

I worked with Mark P. on a Kinship/Guardianship case and it was worth every penny I spent. He and his team were always communicative, they broke everything down for me in a way I could understand and you can tell they are passionate and knowledgeable of the law. I cannot thank you all enough for everything you did for me. I highly recommend!!!!!

Isadora and Desiree are fantastic. Excellent service.

I worked with Ophelia and she really helped me out.

Working with Amy Bailey and her team was an outstanding experience. The situation was not easy and they helped walk me through the process. They were able to help achieve an equitable outcome and having an intelligent team advocating for me was a great comfort. I fully recommend this team to everyone.

I worked with Callan Collins on a custody case and he was excellent. He was very responsive, helpful, and always took the time to meet with me before mediation to strategize. I felt supported throughout the whole process. If I ever need an attorney again, I’ll definitely be coming back to him. Highly recommend!

Isadora and Desiree are excellent! Five stars

I was impressed with the New Mexico Legal Group, quick and efficient walkthrough of my legal questions. Attorney Matthew Barceleau was very knowledgeable and professional, and to the point on matters I was concerned.

She was very knowledgeable . Her paralegal Jessica Manzanas was on the ball any time I need anything ! she was on it. These ladies had great communication through the whole process what a team.

I would like to share my experience with Samantha Day represented my family with our late parents will 2023 and 2024. She was very understanding, helpful explaining the procedures. I live in Colorado. My brother in person and myself on the phone Samantha had no problem doing this for us. Timing for the meetings she was open to when we could do them. She was in touch with us consistently. We never had to wonder what was going on. If we had a question she responded immediately. My brother and myself were so pleased with her work ,we both have had her do our own trusts. She is licensed in Colorado. My health and grief had kept me from going to Albuquerque. Samantha did my trust over the phone and email. Again she did this with her caring and knowledge. I would recommend her to anyone needing wills or trusts. Thank you Samantha, hope we can meet someday. Lyneta J Pittsford

Samantha Finlayson Day and her team (April Mellinger and Haley O’Hara) did a great job listening your our estate planning concerns and creating a personalized plan that worked for us. Samantha, April and Haley walked us through every step, took time to meet with us several times, was patient with our questions and explained everything in ways that were easy to understand. They took our concerns seriously, were highly professional, and timely with all of their communications. We are really pleased with the high level of service we received and could not be happier with the results. We cannot recommend Samantha and her team enough!

My family and I are so grateful for the help of Janine Caller and Jessica Manzanares. They have been extremely caring and responsive from the very start, understanding the seriousness of our situation.

As we age, making sure that all of one’s affairs are in order, notarized and signed by not only you, but a legal representative and a witness can be an overwhelming task, and one that may put off until it is too late. When my wife and I decided to finally complete this task and began researching Law Firms to assist in this process we finally narrowed it down to the The New Mexico Legal Group located in Albuquerque, NM. The New New Mexico Legal Group has a tremendous Staff of Receptionists, Paralegals, and Attorneys to help insure that your Estate Planning is exactly worded the way that you want your wishes to be followed when you can not say those words yourself. Samantha Day, Esquire, was the Attorney that my Wife and I connected with. We told her exactly what our wishes were and some even needed to be adjusted in a better manner and Samantha was very patient and understanding of our desires and wishes. We left feeling that we had been not only heard but understood. Within Two Weeks we had a complete Estate Plan that had the wording that was clear, understandable, and left no room to contest any scenario. There also is a page that allows us to make any changes as/if they occur. This Law Firm, and in particular, Attorney Samantha Day, really has the human part of what is needed when working as an attorney with a client regardless of the issue. Thank you New Mexico Legal Group for making something like Estate Planning feel as important as a High Profile Case. P.S. The fees are very reasonable for a Law Firm that treats you like you are their most important client.

I’m deeply thankful for Janine and her team, whose professionalism and dedication brought much-needed structure and guardrails, avoiding undue drama while creating and implementing the MSA and Family Plan. Their thoughtful approach and commitment to resolution made a significant difference during this time. Their work reflects the values of clarity, respect, and excellence, ensuring a positive outcome. To Janine and her team—thank you for your incredible support and impact.
