Water
Law
It’s been said that in the West, “Whiskey’s for drinking and
water’s for fighting.” While the author of this saying is in
question, there is still truth in it today. Due to New Mexico’s
limited water resources and the legal scheme that regulates
water, to protect your water rights it is important to have an
attorney with experience and knowledge in all aspects of
water law.
With the Firm’s real estate expertise, we can provide
comprehensive representation for all aspects of water rights
matters, from uncontested transfers to complicated litigation.
Our Firm has experience in all aspects of water rights sales,
purchases and transfers. We know the forms and procedures
used by the State Engineer for all applications to buy, sell and
move water rights, and can guide you through the
administrative process. If you have a legal fight over surface
or ground water rights we are prepared for that as well, and
can address water rights declarations, protests, trespass and
contamination concerns.
