Bethany Peterson - Albuquerque, NM

I am a lifelong New Mexican, born and raised in Albuquerque. I graduated from Sandia High School and earned my B.A. in Political Science from the University of New Mexico, where I later attended the UNM School of Law. During law school, I was elected by my peers to serve as Student Bar Association President and competed on the school’s ABA Negotiation Team. At graduation, I was awarded the Dean’s Award for outstanding contributions to the law school community.

After law school, I had the privilege of clerking for the Honorable Katherine A. Wray at the New Mexico Court of Appeals.

I spent much of my childhood and adult life training in Shotokan karate, which taught me the discipline, focus, and perseverance I now bring to my legal practice. Those same values guide my work at Parnall Law Firm, LLC, where I am proud to fight for justice for the wrongfully hurt.

Outside of work, I recently married my best friend, and we enjoy life with our two cats, Lux and Ponyo. I love spending time at home reading fantasy novels, watching anime, and playing the Nintendo Switch. On weekends, I enjoy exploring the local markets or discovering new local coffee spots around Albuquerque. Last, I am a red chile lover.
