What is happening?

Before you submit

Please provide only your contact information and a brief, general description. Do not include confidential or sensitive details, financial account numbers, or documents. This form opens ordinary email, which is not a secure channel; information you send may not be protected by attorney–client privilege.

Submitting this form, requesting a Zoom consultation, or receiving a response does not by itself create an attorney–client relationship. Representation begins only after Mucci Law completes its conflict review and you and the firm agree to representation in writing.

Do not use this form for urgent matters or court deadlines. No consultation is booked until the firm confirms it, and submitting a request does not extend any legal deadline.

Already have a court date or filing deadline?

Do not wait on this form. Call (505) 247-2211 so the office can tell you right away whether it can help with that date.

Signs it is worth a call

You don't need proof. You need a read.

Most families are not sure whether something is a real dispute or a misunderstanding. A short conversation with an attorney who has handled these matters in court is usually the fastest way to find out.

Mucci Law's litigation experience informs the advice it gives — including when a dispute is better settled than fought.

A family member is being left out of decisions about the estate
Accountings are late, missing, or do not add up
Property or money moved before your loved one died
Two or more people were promised the same thing
A court date or filing deadline is already on the calendar

Questions

Before you ask.

Is this a lawsuit?

Not always. Some disputes settle once the facts and the documents are in front of everyone. A consultation is about finding out which situation you are in.

How quickly should I contact an attorney?

Sooner rather than later. Deadlines in probate and trust matters are short, and evidence is easier to gather while people and records are still available.

Do you take cases outside Albuquerque?

Mucci Law assists with probate and estate and trust disputes across New Mexico.

What does a consultation cost?

There is no fee to talk. Any fees are discussed before any work begins.
