As of January, 2024, the average salary for a lawyer in New Mexico is around $93,325 per year.
New Mexico's public defender's office is severely understaffed, handling over 57,500 adult criminal and 2,400 juvenile cases annually with only 295 full-time attorneys. This workload equates to an average of 203 cases per attorney, a number experts say is impossible to manage effectively. With current staffing levels, attorneys would need to work impossible 25.4 hours per day to provide adequate representation.
