Under federal and state laws, New Mexico employers are to pay most workers at a higher rate for time worked beyond 40 hours per week. As a general rule, those same workers are entitled to at least time and a half for any hours beyond 8 in one day. Unfortunately, many employers abuse these requirements in an effort to maximize profits. If you have been wrongfully denied overtime pay, you want an aggressive and proven lawyer to help you recover your lost pay. At Buchanan Law Firm, LLC we have provided comprehensive employment law counsel to workers in New Mexico and other states for more than 20 years. Our primary office is in Albuquerque, but we can set up a meeting anywhere in the state. Though attorney Deena Buchanan has handled employment law claims across the country, the focus of our practice is in New Mexico. We have a thorough understanding of the wage and hour laws here, as well as the court systems and how state and federal judges view overtime disputes. Deena brings extensive trial experience to our practice—she’s successfully served as lead counsel on many complex, high-stakes disputes. In her decades in practice, she’s earned a well-deserved reputation for poise and composure in high-pressure situations. At Buchanan Law Firm, LLC we know that every employment matter is different. We’ll ask a lot of questions, so that we get a full understanding of exactly what happened, as well as the specific relief you seek.
