Our Story
Founded in 2002 by dedicated Albuquerque attorneys Tara Ford and Liz McGrath, Pegasus Legal Services for Children emerged from a profound understanding of the challenges faced by children and youth in foster care. Recognizing that many children outside the foster system also require legal advocacy, Pegasus was established to provide essential civil legal services to those in dire situations. The organization focuses on homeless and runaway youth, teen parents, children in the abuse and neglect system, and those being raised by grandparents. With a commitment to high-quality legal representation, Pegasus strives to empower vulnerable children and youth across New Mexico.
