Bethany Peterson is a personal injury attorney in New Mexico who represents people who have been wrongfully injured. Born and raised in Albuquerque, she has a lifelong connection to the state and the community where she grew up. She is admitted to practice law in New Mexico. Her practice centers on advocating for injured people, with a commitment to justice that guides her professional work and her approach to legal representation.

Bethany earned her B.A. in Political Science from the University of New Mexico in 2019. She continued her education at the University of New Mexico School of Law, earning her Juris Doctor in 2024. During law school, her peers elected her President of the Student Bar Association. She competed on the school’s ABA Negotiation Team and received the Dean’s Award at graduation for outstanding contributions to the law school community.

Bethany clerked for the Honorable Katherine A. Wray at the New Mexico Court of Appeals after law school. The clerkship placed her in a judicial setting where appellate judges review legal questions and decisions from lower courts. This background offers a perspective on the importance of sound legal arguments and careful analysis. Alongside her negotiation training, the experience provides a foundation for approaching disputes with attention to both the issues and the reasoning behind them.

Bethany Peterson brings discipline, focus, and perseverance to her legal practice. These are the professional values she identifies as guiding her advocacy for people who have been harmed. For injured clients, pursuing a legal claim can involve unfamiliar procedures and important decisions during an already difficult time. Those decisions can affect their financial stability and their daily lives. Her commitment to justice gives her work a clear purpose: representing those who have been wrongfully hurt and advocating on their behalf through the legal process.
