Aaron J. Boland, a New Mexican Personal Injury Attorney
Aaron understands New Mexicans because he is one of them. He proudly grew up in rural South San Isidro and Ocate before graduating from Santa Fe High School. As a New Mexico personal injury attorney, Aaron’s respect and personal connection to his clients drive him to work aggressively on their cases and fight tirelessly for their justice.
After earning his law degree from the University of Arizona, Aaron began his career at the Portland Public Defender’s Office in Oregon. He took many cases to trial, challenging a District Attorney’s Office that was often reluctant to negotiate.
It wasn’t unusual for Aaron to juggle over 150 open cases at any given time, nor was it uncommon for him to handle three trials in a single week. He did whatever it took for his clients. By the time he opened his private practice, Aaron Boland, P.C., in 2006, he had already completed more than 60 jury (
) trials.
A Story That Shifted His Focus to Personal Injury Law
Aaron’s focus shifted from criminal defense to personal injury law after one case profoundly impacted him.
A woman in her 80s was T-boned by a driver who clearly ran a stop sign. Incredibly, the insurance company denied her claim, arguing that her age was a “preexisting condition.” This left her in pain and burdened with overwhelming medical bills. Outraged by the injustice, Aaron took on the insurance company and relentlessly fought until his client received a fair settlement.
Since then, Aaron has successfully handled hundreds of personal injury cases (
) and wrongful death claims (). He remains a tenacious advocate for his clients, both inside and outside the courtroom.
Aaron’s professional mission has always been to fight the "David vs. Goliath" battles, especially against the insurance companies that so often mistreat people.
To that end, we’ve built a team dedicated to relentlessly challenging those who prioritize profits over people.
Aaron works tirelessly on every personal injury case, regardless of size, because he believes every person’s story matters. We take immense pride in carrying the weight and responsibility of fighting for fairness and justice for those who have been injured.
Dan Nichols, Paralegal
Having always been fascinated with the point where righteous action, truth, and the written word come together, Dan graduated from the University of Montana in 2015 with a major in philosophy and a minor in non-profit administration. He then decided to leave the country and ended up teaching English in Bangkok for the next five years. At the end of 2021, however, Dan decided to return to the United States in order to pursue further education in the liberal arts via enrollment in the Santa Fe campus of St. John’s College. What was meant to be a two-year stay in New Mexico, however, escalated into a residence for the foreseeable future, a common enough story in a state whose unofficial title contains the word “entrapment.” Working with Aaron Boland, PC, is Dan’s first foray into employment in the legal field, and having become so recently initiated into the world of law, he is especially fond of clarifying steps in the legal process to new clients.
