About Amanda
Amanda Chavez studied criminology at the University of New Mexico before attending the University of New Mexico School of Law. She combined an early interest in criminal justice with formal legal training. The two degrees anchored a practical approach to representing people in often difficult circumstances.
Her academic path led straight into the New Mexico legal community. She became a member of the State Bar of New Mexico in 2006, a credential she maintains. The bar membership has been the formal gateway for her work at the state level.
Chavez began her tenure at Ron Bell Injury Lawyers in Albuquerque in 2016. That role brought her into a firm known locally for handling injury matters. She joined the team as a lawyer and has practiced there since, working on cases that arise in the Albuquerque area and beyond.
At Ron Bell Injury Lawyers, her work has involved personal injury claims, settlement negotiations and litigation when cases proceed to court. She handles client interviews, evidence review and the drafting of pleadings. The practice requires steady attention to factual detail and to procedural deadlines.
Colleagues describe her as pragmatic in case assessment. She approaches disputes by breaking down complex facts into clear issues. That approach helps in mapping out possible outcomes and advising clients about realistic expectations. Her background in criminology sometimes informs how she evaluates accident reports and police records that matter in injury cases.
Outside of casework, she remains connected to the legal community through ongoing membership in the State Bar of New Mexico. That connection keeps her current on changes in state law and court procedures.
She lives and works in Albuquerque and handles matters that arise in the state courts and administrative settings. Her day-to-day practice centers on representing people hurt in accidents and pursuing recovery through negotiation or trial when necessary. She currently practices personal injury law at Ron Bell Injury Lawyers in Albuquerque.
