In 1997 I opened my own practice, The Law Offices of Michael R. Huffaker, P.C., where I've been helping people with injury and wrongful death cases in Farmington, San Juan County, and throughout New Mexico and the Four Corners area. If you need help, I'd like to listen to...

Personal Injury, Criminal, Divorce and Domestic Violence
Texas Tech University School of Law
I primarily practice criminal defense and domestic relations or family law, but I am open to other legal issues that do not fall under those two categories.
For my first two years of practice in law, I enjoyed working at the Public Defender's Office in Aztec. I participated in the development of a probation-like program called Treatment Court which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I maintain positive and professional relationships with local judges, police officers, prosecutors, and attorneys, which helps to achieve fair and just results for clients.

University of New Mexico
I grew up in central Mexico and am fluent in both the Spanish Language and Culture. I clerked under John W. Lawit before graduating from the University of New Mexico School of Law. Upon graduation, I was contracted as the Managing Attorney for an Immigration law firm in Albuquerque and have practiced as a Managing Attorney since being barred in New Mexico. I found that many immigrants were disenfranchised in more than just legalization of their immigration status but also in access to justice in general. Seeing this lack of access to justice confirmed in my mind and heart that...

After several years of representing large Fortune 500 companies, making the switch to representing everyday people was a significant leap into the unknown that Ben was unsure he could make. A higher power, however, forced Ben to make a decision in late October, 2009:
In early October, 2009, Ben learned that he and his wife were pregnant with their first child. Two weeks later, Ben was driving from Albuquerque to Farmington for a hearing. As he past Cuba, New Mexico on 550, the sunny skies turned to dark clouds. The dark clouds traded their grey lining for...

Injured in an accident?
When a person is injured, tort law will govern whether that person may be compensated for the injury, the amount of compensation that may be recovered, as well as which parties will be liable for the injury. Tort law, also known as injury law, comes from federal and state codes, as well as judicial opinions from prior cases. The amount of damages a plaintiff to a personal injury action may receive can be determined by statute, or by a judge or jury. Typical recoveries may include compensatory damages (e.g., lost wages, medical bills, etc.) and in particularly egregious situations, punitive damages. In some cases, a plaintiff may recover certain non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, or loss of enjoyment of life.
Personal injury lawyers help injured people seek compensation from those who have harmed them. Some injury attorneys focus on a specific type of case, such as truck accidents, car accidents, slip-and-fall injuries, medical malpractice or products liability cases. If a person is injured as a result of criminal behavior, it may be appropriate to pursue a personal injury lawsuit in addition to the state's criminal investigation or prosecution.
Many personal injury attorneys offer a free consultation to evaluate your claim.
Negligence: Failure to use care which a reasonable and prudent person would use under similar circumstances.
Joint and several liability: A legal doctrine that makes each of the parties who are responsible for an injury, liable for all the damages awarded in a lawsuit if the other parties responsible cannot pay.
