“When corporations put the public at risk, we make sure they answer for it.”

Meet Michael Sievers

Mike Sievers was born and raised in Gallup, New Mexico, and attended college at New Mexico State University, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communications.  After college, Mike worked for four years as a sports/news reporter and editor for newspapers in Silver City, New Mexico; Socorro, New Mexico; and Cortez, Colorado, before applying to law school at the University of New Mexico School of Law.

After his first semester in law school, Mike worked as a law clerk at McGinn Montoya Love Curry & Sievers PA (which did not yet have “Sievers” in the firm name) and quickly realized that he had found his home. He was inspired by the firm’s courageous clients and excited by the firm’s commitment to making positive changes through the legal process on behalf of those clients. Mike continued to work for MMLCS as a law clerk while attending law school, where he served as Managing Editor of the New Mexico Law Review, president of the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Student Association, and graduated with honors in 2013. Mike learned he passed the bar just one week before he married the love of his life, Amanda. Upon officially becoming an attorney, Mike became an associate attorney with MMLCS.

Since becoming an attorney, Mike has devoted himself to MMLCS’s clients by investigating new cases, writing trial court and appellate briefs, taking and defending depositions, working with experts, and trying cases. While he works on all types of cases, he has a particular interest in and passion for representing people who have been harmed in semi-truck collisions or as the result of defective products. Over the years since he passed the bar, Mike has worked on numerous trucking, product liability, and medical malpractice cases; taken hundreds of hours of continuing education courses about trucking cases; and learned how to drive a manual transmission semi-truck from one of the country’s leading experts during an intensive educational course.

In 2023, Mike became board certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy after passing an exam demonstrating his skills and knowledge in representing people who have been harmed by crashes involving commercial trucks.

Mike is part of the leadership of the American Association for Justice’s Trucking Litigation Group and the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys.  He also serves on the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Board of Directors, serves as Copy Editor of the New Mexico Trial Lawyers’ quarterly journal, and has also served on the board of editors of the New Mexico Bar Bulletin and the board of directors of Cuidando Los Niños, an Albuquerque nonprofit organization. During his spare time, Mike enjoys spending time with his wife, two children, and golden retriever; running long distances; playing roller hockey and ice hockey; watching sports; and cooking.
