Details

Through Bencoe & LaCour Law in Albuquerque, Lori M. Bencoe helps clients and families throughout New Mexico to recover full justice from wrongdoers who cause serious injury or death.  Since 1993 she has been dedicated to helping clients and their families get full compensation for harms and losses by proving their cases based on law and evidence. She offers wrongdoers every opportunity to settle fully and fairly, but when their insurers refuse, her firm does not hesitate to ask a jury to hold them accountable.  Bencoe & LaCour Law has recovered millions of dollars from insurers of negligent healthcare systems and medical providers, corporations and individuals whose careless or reckless conduct caused harm or death.  The firm is highly selective, conducts extensive case screenings, and fully prepares clients' cases to succeed at trial with support from highly qualified experts.    

Ms. Bencoe graduated from UNM Law School in 1993 and has been continuously dedicated to helping injured clients and families ever since.  A native New Mexican with generations of family in the state, she has served her community through volunteer teaching/mentoring law students and young lawyers, service on the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association/Foundation Board, the Albuquerque Youth Symphony Board, the New Mexico Supreme Court Rules Committee and Judicial Nominating Commission, and the New Mexico Medical Review Commission.  She is qualified to appear before all New Mexico state courts and the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico.
