About Attorney Kevin P. Holmes

Kevin’s Experience

Attorney-law clerk for Chief Justice Charles W. Daniels on the New Mexico Supreme Court
Kevin’s first job out of law school was serving as a law clerk for Chief Justice Daniels for two years. Kevin helped draft opinions that would become the “law of the land” in New Mexico’s highest court. Kevin’s experience as an appellate law clerk gives him an advantage in cases at all levels. He knows how to take a case all the way to the top, and he knows what to do in a trial to make sure the jury’s verdict stands.

Public Prosecutor in Albuquerque
After serving as a law clerk at the New Mexico Supreme Court, Kevin became a prosecutor in Albuquerque, where he prosecuted serious violent offenses, including murders, rapes, kidnappings, and armed robberies. Kevin gained substantial trial experience while serving as a prosecutor. He tried more than twice as many cases as the average prosecutor at the time, and he quickly gained a reputation as a talented trial advocate who was to be respected.

Adjunct Professor at UNM Law School
After Kevin gained significant trial experience, the UNM School of Law invited him to be an adjunct professor. For years now, Kevin has co-taught Trial Practice Workshop, instructing the next generation of trial lawyers while honing his own trial skills at the same time.

Attorney at McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya, & Love, PA
After serving as a prosecutor, Kevin joined the office of McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya, & Love, PA, where he worked under the guidance and tutelage of legendary trial lawyer Randi McGinn and the other stellar plaintiff’s attorneys there. It was there that Kevin learned how to investigate and prosecute cases on behalf of injured people, and he has taken the invaluable lessons learned there and brought them to his own practice.
