Scott Thomas Fuqua

We hired Scott Fuqua as our lead attorney for a probate matter in the First Judicial District Court of New Mexico, which was heard by Judge Matthew J. Wilson in July 2026. He handled the litigation and courtroom work from start to finish. From the first meeting, he was clear about the process, the st...rategy, and what we needed to gather. He explained the procedure in plain language, answered questions promptly, and kept us updated as the case progressed through the court. Scott was organized, professional, and easy to reach. He led the hearings and litigation and handled the matter with care during an already difficult time for our family. We felt confident we were in capable hands. We were referred to Scott by Slate Stern of Stern Law, a Super Lawyers honoree (2019–2026) and an AV Preeminent Santa Fe attorney with whom we worked on a separate wrongful death probate following an automobile fatality. Coming from someone of that standing, the referral carried real weight, and it was exactly right. Scott is a trial and appellate lawyer, not just someone who files papers. His practice spans civil litigation, appeals, complex commercial matters, administrative and government cases, and other high-stakes disputes. You can tell he is accustomed to thinking several steps ahead in court. I would recommend Scott Fuqua and Fuqua Law & Policy to anyone in Santa Fe or northern New Mexico who needs a lawyer to lead in court and follow through. If we could give more than five stars, we would.
