A skilled and dedicated advocate in a complex civil rights case

I hired Carey Bhalla after my employer terminated me under circumstances I believed were discriminatory. From our first meeting, it was clear I was dealing with a seasoned professional. Carey’s deep knowledge of civil rights law, honed over nearly two decades of practice, was immediately evident. She meticulously dissected the facts of my case, explaining the nuances of New Mexico employment law with clarity and patience. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in Civil Rights Law was well-earned, as she crafted a compelling strategy that resulted in a favorable settlement. While I sometimes wished for slightly quicker email responses during the process—understandable given her caseload—her strategic thinking and dedication were never in question. Carey is a formidable attorney who combines her extensive experience in both civil rights and criminal defense to be a tenacious and insightful advocate. I would confidently recommend her to anyone facing a serious legal challenge in Albuquerque.
