At the Gilchrist Law Firm, LLC, it is my goal. to give you the personal attention and one-on-one counseling that you deserve for your legal matter. I will personally handle your case from start to finish. I focus on representing employees against employers in claims such as:

- Wrongful discharge/termination;
- Harassment;
- Discrimination based. on. age, gender, sexual, orientation, national origin, pregnancy, medical or disability;
- Retaliation
  o In violation of public policy;
  o For taking disability, medical, or family-medical leave (FMLA);
  o For taking worker's comp leave;
- Assault and battery by a co-worker or a supervisor; and.
- Whistleblower retaliation.

I can understand how devastating -- in your personal and professional life -- it can he to suffer an adverse job action. Examples of adverse employment actions include demeaning or humiliating comments by supervisor, excessive or unfair criticism, the removal or elimination of job responsibilities, the loss of benefits, including being placed in a lower pay position, demotion, denial of promotion, and termination.

I handle all aspects of litigation, from filing the complaint up to and including trial. I represent employees in the New Mexico state and federal courts as well as before the New Mexico Human Rights Division and the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. (EEOC).

I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico as well, as have worked for numerous employers throughout the city and understand that sometimes employers do not have their employee's best interests at heart. It is important to contact an attorney to determine whether your treatment as an employee violates the law.

I also handle other civil rights cases, such as police misconduct as well as prisoner's rights cases.

My office is conveniently located in downtown Albuquerque, near the Metropolitan Court , Bernalillo County District Court and the United States Federal District Court of New Mexico. I accept cases on contingency and I do not collect fees unless you win. The costs of bringing a lawsuit are also recovered from any amount that you recover.
