25+ Years Helping Accident Victims
I'm Peter Romero — born in New Mexico, educated in New Mexico, and practicing personal injury law here for 25 years. I didn't build my practice in another state and transplant it here. I know these roads, these courts, and the insurance companies that operate in this state. That matters when your case is on the line.
Why I Practice the Way I Do
For a long time, I worked the way most personal injury firms operate — high volume, heavy delegation, cases moving through a system. I was good at it. But I kept watching clients go through one of the hardest moments of their lives and never once speak directly to their attorney.
I made a deliberate choice to change that. I limit my caseload so I can personally manage every file I take. When you call me, I answer. When you have a question at 10 p.m., you're not leaving a message with a receptionist and waiting for a callback. You're talking to me.
This isn't the only way to run a law firm. It's the only way I'm willing to run mine.
What 25 Years in New Mexico Actually Means
Experience in personal injury law is only as useful as it is specific. I've spent 25 years practicing in New Mexico courts, negotiating with New Mexico insurance carriers, and building cases for New Mexico juries. I know how insurers in this state approach claims — what they offer first, where they push back, and what it takes to move them.
I've handled cases across the full range of serious injury claims:
Car accidents, including multi-vehicle and highway collisions
Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
Medical malpractice and surgical errors
Nursing home negligence and abuse
Premises liability and negligent security conditions
Dog bite injuries
Wrongful death claims
If you've been injured in New Mexico, I've almost certainly handled a case like yours — in the same courts, against the same carriers.

What It Means to Work Directly With Me
Most personal injury firms route your initial call to a receptionist, then to a case manager, then — eventually — to an attorney. By the time you speak to the lawyer handling your case, weeks may have passed.
When you call 900-9000, I answer. Your first conversation is with me. Every substantive update on your case comes from me. If something changes, you hear it from me directly.
I keep my caseload intentionally limited because that's the only way this works. I can't give you direct access and take every case that comes through the door. I chose access.
A New Mexico Attorney, Not Just an Attorney in New Mexico
I grew up here. I went to school here. I've practiced here for my entire career. I understand what it means to be injured in this state — the financial pressure, the gaps in coverage, the way insurance companies treat New Mexico claimants.
When I take your case, I'm not learning your state. I'm already here.
I serve clients throughout Albuquerque and across New Mexico, including Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Las Cruces, and Farmington. Distance has never been a reason to go without a good attorney.
