Biography

Attorney Deena Buchanan boasts extensive experience across more than 20 jurisdictions, handling cases involving trucking crashes, wrongful deaths, and catastrophic injuries. Her career began in BigLaw and as in-house counsel for a Fortune 500 company, where she advised executives and litigated multi-million dollar disputes for major corporations and insurance companies. Motivated by her exposure to tragic outcomes, Deena shifted her focus to representing individuals and families, leveraging her formidable insider training and experience to challenge large corporations. Her personal experience as a victim of negligence enriches her understanding of personal injury claims. Deena distinguishes herself as one of the earliest women to be board-certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy in trucking crash cases and was elected to the Executive Board of the American Association for Justice Trucking Litigation Group in 2024. Beyond her legal acumen, she shares her proficiency with peers and takes on high-profile trials, earning accolades from clients, colleagues, and judges. In her personal time, Deena enjoys outdoor pursuits like hiking and photographing nature with her family. Her professional memberships include the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association, National Employment Lawyers Association, and the American Association for Justice.
