Matthew Watson
Founder / Attorney at Law
As an attorney, I offer my over 20 years of experience, and work hard to add value to my clients' lives. I operate under my own personal code of integrity, honesty, and hard work. My diplomatic yet assertive approach to conflict resolution allows my clients to obtain high quality results in a cost-effective manner. I have put together an excellent, well qualified and well trained team who work well together in assisting our clients to obtain their goals. I am passionate about my work and extremely proud of what I do.
I study and speak Spanish, and am proud to be a Fronterizo.
I am also passionate about wellness, and seek to improve myself physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally each day. I am a student of the human being and its capacities, employing the study of the ancient traditions of a yogic life-way to maintain a healthy body, mind and spirit. I am pleased to share that passion with others, although I understand that there are an infinite number of healthy pathways to health and success. Mine just works for me. I currently share that passion through leading a class each Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. at Indigo Yoga.
I am a proud father of four grown offspring, and abuelo to two beautiful and vibrant grandsons. I have a handful of amazing friends and others close to me, who, along with my family, comprise my tribe. Time with my tribe is invaluable.
I believe life is inherently abundant, and seek to live within that abundance, inviting others to share in that mentality.
I love adventures, exploring new cities or laying under the stars in the backcountry or at the edge of the ocean. I am particularly passionate about New Mexico, and wander freely from North to South, enjoying all the lovely things and people in and around the Land of Enchantment.
Nicole Carpio
Paralegal / Practice Manager - Bilingual
As a legal assistant I am passionate about assisting clients' with their legal needs. I have experience in Family Law and Civil Law. My legal career began as a receptionist in a Family Law office. With my growing knowledge and understanding of the law, I began quickly advancing in different positions and working my way up.
With almost 15 years working in the legal field, I have gained invaluable experience with each attorney I have worked for and I am happy to be a part of the Matthew Watson Law Firm.
I was born in El Paso, Texas and moved to Las Cruces when I was 10 years old. I am a mother of 3 beautiful grown children all of which are students at NMSU. I enjoy spending time with my family whether it is hanging out at home, going on a country cruise, or finding the best TACO TRUCK in town.
