About

Treinen Law Office is a consumer protection firm based in Albuquerque that advocates for New Mexico residents harmed by unfair or deceptive business practices. Founded on the principle that law should serve those in need rather than the highest bidder, the firm focuses exclusively on consumer law—a practice area few attorneys pursue with dedicated focus.

Rob Treinen, the firm's founder, began his legal career with New Mexico Legal Aid, representing low-income clients cheated by unscrupulous businesses. He has since carried that mission into private practice, continuing to represent consumers against powerful corporations and predatory enterprises. His advocacy has generated over thirty published opinions from the New Mexico Supreme Court, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and lower courts, many striking down unfair arbitration schemes that businesses use to shield themselves from accountability.

The firm takes on cases involving car dealers, RV dealers and manufacturers, payday and title lenders, mortgage companies and brokers, credit reporting agencies, debt collectors, solar system sellers, real estate brokers, for-profit educational institutions, robo-callers, and banks. Whether pursuing individual claims or class actions, Treinen Law Office targets businesses that exploit consumers through fraud, predatory lending, misrepresentation, or other unfair treatment.

Understanding the real human cost of consumer abuse, the firm recognizes how such violations disrupt families—causing lost sleep, conflict between spouses over blame and solutions, wasted time that should go to loved ones, and the frustration of being ignored despite good-faith efforts to resolve problems. The firm believes juries, composed of ordinary people who understand what it means to be mistreated, are the proper check on corporate power and the best means to restore balance when businesses ignore consumer dignity.

Nearly all cases are handled on contingency, meaning clients pay no upfront fees and no costs as the case proceeds. The firm bears the financial risk, fronting litigation expenses including expert testimony and investigation costs, and collects a fee only upon successful resolution through settlement or jury verdict. This arrangement reflects the firm's commitment to serving people who might otherwise lack resources to pursue justice.

Treinen Law Office approaches litigation as an opportunity for clients to tell their story truthfully and completely. Rather than treating trials as strategic exercises, the firm invests significant time getting to know clients and their families in person, often meeting in homes, to present the whole truth—not just facts in isolation but the human reality of how violations have affected lives. The firm promises to work as a team with clients every step forward, delivering dedicated advocacy in pursuit of justice.
