For more than 50 years New Mexico Legal Aid has assisted New Mexicans living in poverty with legal services they otherwise would not be able to access. Each year roughly 15,000 people benefit from our direct services and thousands more benefit from our indirect services. Our goal is to do everything we can to stabilize these families. There are roughly 400,000 people in New Mexico who currently would qualify for the legal services our nonprofit can provide. This is one clients story.
