Larkin Padilla McDougall Family Law — Local services in Albuquerque

Darin McDougall is by far one of the best attorneys in the state, and honestly, one of the best you can find, period. Not only do I come into contact with many attorneys in my line of work, but I already had a terrible experience with a previous attorney for my case. I needed an attorney that cared about my daughter and our situation, and Darin was literally a godsend. Knowing how busy he was with his current cases, he still took my case on. He came into the case in middle of litigation and made the transition seamless. He heard me out, studied the case itself, reviewed all the items of evidentiary value, and ultimately shed light about my situation to the courts. He was able to get the courts to agree for a therapist and special court master to be involved in the case to delve deep into the issues my daughter was enduring. The third parties worked just as hard as Darin did, and through the hard work, they fought for the well-being of my daughter until the best case scenario came. Darin is readily available for any questions, email or phone, and he actually cares about you and your children. He is calm mannered and has a great reputation with the District Court judges and the other attorneys. This team is altogether great, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone going through the most difficult times in their lives; divorce and child custody. If you can get on his calendar (because he’s so sought after), don’t hesitate.

Thank you, Darin, Kimberly, and Dominique; from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you have done for my daughter. Your hard work and dedication is something I will always be...

Ms. Kimberly Padillia was a leach and charged high rates in return for very little work on her end. Client put hours of work into writing motions, responses to them, etc and attorney modified what was written to suit the opposing counsel. She did very little to protect, advocate, exploit opposing counsel's lies and deceptions. This attorney was biased towards women. She does not support men or if she does she does very little work and is hard to be reached. Very appalled by her performance and her lack of professionalism and honor to her client. After over $100,000 in debt from her the end result was depressing to see. Lost custody of children, required to pay more money for ex wife that refuses to work, etc. The case is one of the worst Parental Alienation cases in New Mexico. Courts were biased and did very little to be neutral and fair. In New Mexico Women rule and men...

Twila was my attorney for my divorce. She made the divorce process go smoothly.

Thanks to her finalizing my divorce, I am finally at peace!!

She was upfront with what it would cost for her retainer. There were no hidden fees. I was very satisfied with the final cost of my divorce.

She advocated for me, so that I got what I wanted in the marital settlement agreement.

I was married for 29 years, and my ex-husband hadn’t worked for 11 years. He may have been trying to seek alimony, but Twila made sure that that did not happen!

Divorce happens! If you need an attorney, I highly recommend...
