THE Land of Enchantment enticed Mark Rhodes and Bill Salmon to New Mexico in 1984. They met in Albuquerque in 1985 and formed Rhodes & Salmon, P.C. the same year.

WHILE starting a firm was relatively simple, having the firm succeed was an entirely different matter. As both Mark and Bill were raised and educated outside New Mexico, they had no network of friends or classmates from which to build a practice.

OUT of necessity, Rhodes & Salmon, P.C. immediately began taking difficult cases which had often been referred by other lawyers. While the years have brought better offices, an exceptional support staff and different problems to solve, the formula that allowed Rhodes & Salmon, P.C. to succeed remains.

MOST of our clients are referrals from old clients, who we regard as our greatest endorsements, and other attorneys.

DEPENDING on the complexity of the issues presented, we have affiliated with numerous other great specialized attorneys.
