About

Holmes Law Firm represents clients throughout Albuquerque and New Mexico in personal injury, workers' compensation, and probate matters. Founded and led by attorney Kevin Holmes, the firm has earned a 5-star Google rating and has recovered millions of dollars for injured workers and accident victims.

Kevin Holmes brings substantial courtroom experience to his practice. A former prosecutor, he combines his knowledge of how the legal system works with a trial lawyer's practical approach to building and presenting cases. His background as a prosecutor gives him insight into the opposition's strategies and how to counter them effectively. He is committed to understanding each client's unique circumstances and tailoring his legal strategy accordingly, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

The firm's workers' compensation practice focuses on helping injured employees navigate the claims process and secure the benefits they deserve. Holmes recognizes that workplace injuries often create physical, emotional, and financial hardship. He guides clients through the complexities of New Mexico workers' compensation law, helps them understand their rights, and advocates for maximum compensation. The firm also recognizes situations in which an injured worker may have both a workers' compensation claim and a separate personal injury lawsuit—for example, when a workplace car accident involves a third party—and pursues recovery through both avenues when appropriate.

In personal injury cases, Holmes Law Firm represents clients who have been harmed through the negligence or wrongdoing of others. The firm has achieved substantial recoveries, including settlements exceeding $500,000. Notable results include cases involving serious car accidents requiring hospitalization, claims against government entities for excessive force, and complex cases against corporations. In one matter, the firm secured not only a significant monetary settlement but also a home for a client who had lost their residence due to bank mortgage violations.

The firm also handles probate and inheritance matters for families navigating the death of a loved one. Holmes guides personal representatives and beneficiaries through the probate process, including asset valuation, debt resolution, court filings, and dispute resolution among heirs. He assists families in understanding their responsibilities under New Mexico law and helps mediate conflicts to reach amicable settlements.

All clients are represented on a contingency fee basis, meaning the firm charges no upfront fees and collects payment only if the case is won through trial or settlement. Prospective clients can call and discuss their situation with an attorney at no cost to learn whether they have a viable claim.
