Erika Pointdexter

I have proudly served the diverse communities of New Mexico since 2003. As a graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Law, I bring a unique perspective and dedication to my practice. Though raised in New Orleans, I was drawn to New Mexico's rich culture and welcoming spirit, choosing to establish my practice here.  I received my bachelor’s degree from Loyola University New Orleans in 1999.  I moved to New Mexico in 2001 to pursue my law degree and chose to make Albuquerque my home.  I primarily practice in the areas of family law and bankruptcy. I take pride in my service to my community, particularly the children and families of New Mexico.  I am the current President of the New Mexico Child First Network and founding board member, an organization  dedicated to improving the lives of children in foster care and empowering those who serve them through trauma-informed training, policy reform, and direct mentorship and support.
