Trucking Accidents

Growing up in Southern New Mexico, I didn’t just learn about hard work in the classroom or in court—I learned it in the cab of a truck.

My father owned and operated his own trucking company for 25 years. He built it from the ground up through grit, long hours, family support, and an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way. His company didn’t just move freight—it moved with integrity. And in all those years of running trucks up and down New Mexico’s highways, across state lines, through every kind of weather—you know what stands out most?

He never had a serious crash. Not once. 

Not a major injury, not a life-altering mistake.

That wasn’t luck. That was discipline. Maintenance. Training. Respect for the rules of the road—and for the people who share it.

Learning Behind the Wheel

Before I ever read a statute, I learned how to keep a vehicle steady in high winds. My father taught me to drive, but he taught me more than mechanics. He taught me patience. How to plan ahead. Why it matters to check your blind spots—not just on the road, but in life.

He knew that behind every other wheel on the road is a family. A worker. A mom. A student. A grandparent. He never forgot that. And I never will either.

From Highways to Courtrooms

Today, as a civil rights and personal injury attorney, I represent people whose lives have been shattered by the very crashes my father worked so hard to avoid. The difference? Often those crashes come from companies that don’t train, don’t maintain, and don’t care. They cut corners. They overwork drivers. They gamble with lives to meet quotas and deadlines.

I represent the victims of those choices—the families struck by semis on I-10, the drivers rear-ended by overloaded trucks, the pedestrians left injured or worse. And I carry my father’s lessons with me in every case.

Because I know what responsibility looks like. I saw it every day as a kid.

Honor Through Action

My father never needed a courtroom to prove he did things right. But in many ways, my work today is a continuation of his values. I fight for fairness. For accountability. For those who did nothing wrong but paid the highest price because someone else didn’t care enough to do it right.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a crash with a semi-truck or commercial vehicle, know that I take these cases personally—and professionally. Because behind every tragic crash is a preventable decision. And behind every client is a story worth honoring.
