Atkinson & Kelsey LAW FIRM

Atkinson & Kelsey’s History Of Helping People Like You

In 1948, William W. Atkinson began practicing law in Albuquerque. He began building our tradition of ethical, caring and successful legal representation.

In 1967, David H. Kelsey joined Bill Atkinson, sharing the same commitment to helping people through emotionally challenging cases.

Since then, the law firm of Atkinson & Kelsey has grown in size to include five lawyers. We are the oldest and one of the largest law firms in New Mexico devoted exclusively to the practice of divorce and family law, and we are passionate about achieving positive results for clients like you. If you have family law questions anywhere in New Mexico, call us. We can help you.

Our Commitment To A Truly Client-Centered New Mexico Divorce And Family Law Practice

Our lawyers are recognized experts in the field of New Mexico family law. We write books that other attorneys study, such as the New Mexico Divorce Manual, as well as other articles on the topic for legal journals. We provide New Mexico attorneys with new developments in domestic relations law by presenting at the State Bar Convention and other seminars around the state.

We remain at the forefront of divorce and family law practice in New Mexico.

Our Commitment To Ethical Representation Of Our Family Law Clients

We take pride in providing ethical representation. We believe in honesty. We believe in doing what is right for the people we represent.

For this, the Samaritan Counseling Center awarded Atkinson & Kelsey its Ethics in Business Award. This honor recognized New Mexico organizations that “promote ethical business conduct for the benefit of the workplace, the marketplace, the environment and the community.” We were the first law firm to receive this prestigious award.
