I started my law career in California working for the District Attorney's Office. However, a chance meeting with a state's attorney from the Attorney General's Office changed my life. I took a job with the New Mexico Attorney General's Office in their Consumer Protection Division. As an Assistant Attorney General, I investigated hundreds of consumer complaints, and helped scores of consumers. I prosecuted car dealers and other unscrupulous businesses for unfair and deceptive business practices, and much more.
After several years with the Attorney General's Office, I started my own practice. I represent consumers and small business owners in Ch. 7 bankruptcy. I provide highly personalized and compassionate legal services. I defend consumers in debt collection cases, often against junk debt buyers, as well as in student debt collection cases, I help consumers defend their financial rights, and protect their financial futures.
I represent consumers throughout New Mexico. Virtual and telephone consultations and appointment available.

Very Pleased
I don't think I was the average client for Ms. Demack. I wanted to be on the offensive in my defense, which seemed counter-intuitive to the other attorneys I contacted. I had done my research and was comfortable with my arguments, and Ms. Demack not only integrated my arguments with her own proven ...
