Championing Employee Rights in the Workplace

The relationship between an employer and an employee is inherently unequal, with the balance of power often tilting heavily toward the employer. Paige Gallegos Law, LLC is a dedicated employment law firm in Albuquerque that strives to level the playing field.

Fighting Discrimination and Harassment

No one should have to choose between their dignity and their paycheck. Paige Gallegos Law, LLC specializes in cases involving Workplace Discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. The firm also handles sensitive claims of sexual harassment, creating a safe environment for victims to tell their stories. New Mexico and federal laws strictly prohibit hostile work environments, and Paige Gallegos is an expert in navigating the complex procedures of filing claims with the EEOC and the New Mexico Human Rights Bureau. If you need to find an employment lawyer who will stand up to bullies, this firm is a trusted advocate.

Wrongful Termination and Retaliation

New Mexico is an ”at-will” employment state, but that does not mean employers can fire workers for illegal reasons. The firm represents clients in Wrongful Termination suits where the firing was a violation of public policy, a breach of contract, or an act of retaliation. Retaliation is a common issue where employees are punished for reporting illegal activity (whistleblowing) or filing a workers’ compensation claim. Paige Gallegos Law, LLC investigates the timeline of events to prove the link between the protected activity and the adverse employment action, fighting to secure lost wages and reinstatement for their clients.

Wage and Hour Disputes

Fair pay for a fair day’s work is a fundamental right. The firm assists employees who have been victims of wage theft, including unpaid overtime, misclassification as independent contractors, and failure to pay minimum wage. These cases often involve complex calculations and a deep understanding of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Paige Gallegos works diligently to recover every dollar her clients have earned but were denied.

A Boutique Approach to Justice

Unlike large firms that handle hundreds of cases simultaneously, Paige Gallegos Law, LLC maintains a focused caseload to ensure personal attention. Paige Gallegos works directly with her clients, offering honest advice about the strengths and weaknesses of their cases. She understands that losing a job is not just a financial blow-it is an emotional one. Her approach combines legal rigor with human empathy. The firm’s office on Montgomery Parkway offers a discreet and professional setting away from the bustle of downtown, making it convenient for clients in the Heights and surrounding areas.
