Poulos & Cavazos, LLP - Las Cruces, NM

Elite Medical Malpractice Litigation in Las Cruces and New Mexico

Medical errors alter lives permanently, leaving patients and their families to navigate catastrophic physical disabilities, emotional trauma, and overwhelming medical debts. Headquartered on Avenida de Mesilla in Las Cruces, Poulos & Cavazos, LLP is a dedicated medical negligence law firm representing injured victims across New Mexico and West Texas. Founded in 2002 by managing partner Victor F. 'Vic' Poulos, who has tried over one hundred twenty jury trials in nearly fifty years of practice, the firm's mission is deeply personal. In 1981, Victor's own infant daughter suffered severe, permanent brain damage due to medical negligence, requiring lifelong around-the-clock care. This experience shaped his life's purpose: ensuring healthcare providers and corporate hospital systems are held accountable when medical negligence causes irreversible harm. If you need to hire an attorney who combines unmatched trial experience with deep personal commitment, our team stands ready to fight for your family.
