About

Coleman Injury Law is a client-focused firm with offices in Santa Fe and Albuquerque that handles personal injury cases, estate planning, probate, real estate disputes, and business matters. Led by attorney Christie Coleman, the firm earned a 5-star Google rating and has secured significant results for its clients, including the largest jury verdict in Taos County history—a $15.4 million wrongful death verdict in May 2024 following a one-week jury trial.

The firm's approach emphasizes collaboration and transparency with clients throughout the legal process. Rather than keeping clients at arm's length, Coleman Injury Law works in close partnership with those it represents, developing strategy together, discussing costs and process openly, and addressing any obstacles as they arise. This philosophy extends across all of the firm's practice areas.

Christie Coleman, the firm's principal attorney, holds merit scholarships to the University of California, Berkeley, and Southwestern Law School, where she served as a teaching assistant and law journal editor. Her work spans multiple practice areas that often intersect in real-world client matters—a capability the firm leverages to provide seamless advocacy. The firm has handled probate, wrongful death personal injury, and custody matters for single clients when one representation naturally flowed into the next.

In personal injury practice, Coleman Injury Law represents clients harmed through no fault of their own—from automobile accidents to slip-and-fall cases—and has negotiated substantial settlements from at-fault parties and insurance companies. The firm acts as a diligent advocate for plaintiffs at every stage.

The firm's estate planning and probate services range from drafting wills and trusts to contested probate litigation. The attorneys counsel clients on protecting their legacies and preventing post-death family disputes through proactive planning. Real estate practice addresses title defects, easement issues, land usage disputes, and other matters common to New Mexico's complex property history, including disputes arising from illegible deeds, informal family agreements, and boundary or access problems. In business law, Coleman Injury Law assists with entity formation, such as LLC incorporation, and handles litigated disputes involving breach of contract and other commercial disagreements.

All initial personal injury consultations are free. Follow-up consultations on hourly matters are available at a discounted flat rate. The firm's legal staff gathers information during initial contact and provides it to the attorneys, who then advise on strategy, costs, and next steps.

Client testimonials highlight the firm's knowledge, responsiveness, and ability to make the legal process clear and less intimidating for those unfamiliar with law. Clients note that Coleman and her team focus on ensuring good outcomes rather than simply processing cases.
