New Mexico Age Discrimination Lawyer

In New Mexico, employers may not discriminate against certain employees or job applicants because of age, pursuant to both state and federal law. Under the provisions of the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), employees 40 and over may not be subjected to age-based discrimination. While the New Mexico Human Rights Act does not identify an age barrier, the courts in New Mexico have consistently held that law applies to persons aged 40 and over.

If you have been denied employment, lost a job, or been subjected to any disparate treatment in New Mexico because you were 40 or over, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your legal rights.
