Important Notice

Attorney James A. Askew, attorney and sole principal member of the Askew Law Firm, LLC, passed away on September 21, 2024. His death shocked and saddened us all.

With Mr. Askew's passing, the law firm is unable to continue as a going concern and will wind up. It is expected that the law firm will cease all operations by December 31, 2024.

To assist with the closure and winding up of the law firm's operations, an “inventorying attorney” will be appointed for the Askew Law Firm, LLC in accordance with New Mexico Supreme Court Rule 17-213. Once appointed, the inventorying attorney’s role is limited but will include acting as a point of contact, handling funds in the law firm's trust account, and to the extent possible, ensuring that all clients are appropriately notified and informed about Mr. Askew's passing and the winding up of the law firm and the consequences of those events. The inventorying attorney will not be handling your legal matters unless agreed to by him and the client, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by virtue of his position as inventorying attorney.

If you need assistance in finding alternate or substitute counsel or have any questions about your legal matters and files, please contact the law firm via email at admin@askewlawfirm.com. Thank you.
