Professional Experience

Other pertinent experiences include Ms. Anderson’s clerkships for eight judges in the Fifth Judicial District, which encompasses Southeastern New Mexico, and for the Honorable Supreme Court Justices Richard Bosson and Gene Franchini. These experiences, combined with numerous Bar activities and impressive awards, add another layer to the determination and proven success at Robles, Rael & Anaya.
