When Businesses Lie, Cheat, and Steal: Consumer Protection Law, with Nick Mattison

<p>Millions of New Mexicans are losing money to predatory businesses — car dealers, solar companies, banks, and credit bureaus — without knowing they have legal recourse. <u><a href="https://nmconsumerwarriors.com/about/nicholas-mattison/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nick Mattison</a></u> of <u><a href="https://nmconsumerwarriors.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Feferman, Warren &amp; Mattison</a></u> joins host <u><a href="https://www.raelfirm.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Feliz Rael</a></u> to explain New Mexico's Unfair Practices Act, a tool that lets consumers triple their damages and recover attorney's fees when businesses engage in deceptive or unconscionable conduct. Nick shares a case from Gallup involving a vulnerable woman who was sold a car she couldn't legally drive, and warns about arbitration clauses buried in everyday contracts that strip consumers of their right to a jury trial.

What New Mexico Law Does for LGBTQ+ People, with Chris Papaleo

<p>New Mexico was the third state in the country to add sexual orientation and gender identity to its Human Rights Act — and that was back in 2003. <u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-papaleo-61b988306" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chris Papaleo</a></u> of Atkins &amp; Walker Law joins host <u><a href="https://www.raelfirm.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Feliz Rael</a></u> to break down the legal landscape for LGBTQ+ New Mexicans in honor of Pride Month. Chris draws on his own journey — coming out in the early '90s, working as a paralegal for decades, and returning to law school in his mid-forties — to explain why these laws matter and why lawyers are still needed to enforce them. Together, Feliz and Chris walk through the New Mexico Human Rights Act, the state's hate crimes law, the ban on conversion therapy, the Reproductive and Gender Affirming Healthcare Freedom Act, and the 2025 Supreme Court order on preferred pronouns in courtrooms.</p><p><strong class="ql-size-large">Learn More and Connect</strong></p><p>☑️ <u><a href="https://www.atkinswalker.com/team" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chris Papaleo</a></u> | <u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-papaleo-61b988306" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></u></p><p>☑️ <u><a href="https://www.atkinswalker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Atkins &amp; Walker Law</a></u> | <u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/atkins-walker-law" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></u> | <u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/atkinswalkerlaw/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></u></p><p>☑️ <u><a href="https://www.raelfirm.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Feliz Rael</a></u> | <u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/feliz-rael-31637029/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></u> | <u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/raellawoffice" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></u></p><p>☑️ <u><a href="https://www.nmtla.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association</a></u></p><p>☑️ Subscribe <u><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-mexico-legal-lowdown/id1866976461" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a></u> | <u><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0wuvoDk5TiHxirkMj0aevw?si=127b4ffee6044365" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a></u> | <u><a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/19661a29-b873-4a35-8082-18da2b0a9848" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amazon Music</a></u> | <u><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@nmtriallawyers1813" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a></u></p><p><span class="ql-size-large">Produced and Powered by </span><u class="ql-size-large"><a href="https://lawpods.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LawPods</a></u></p>

How Lawsuits Trigger Real-World Change with Kathy Love

<p>Lawsuits aren't just about money — they're one of the most powerful tools everyday people have to force corporations to change. <u><a href="https://www.mcginnlaw.com/attorneys/kathy-love/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kathy Love</a></u> of McGinn, Montoya, Love, Curry &amp; Sievers PA joins host <u><a href="https://www.raelfirm.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Feliz Rael</a></u> to discuss how her firm fights for "the little guys against the big guys" in wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases. Kathy explains what clients really want after experiencing a devastating loss and why corporations often need to feel real financial consequences before they'll act. She discusses a pacemaker kickback case and an NMSU case where one survivor's bravery resulted in mandatory campus training.
