Probate and Family Law Trial

I hired Attny. Martin for my recent divorce trial and I could not be more grateful for his professional legal services. I felt confident in making my decision as I had been previously skeptical in other attorneys I had consulted with. I felt my voice was heard, my concerns were not only addressed bu...t resolved. My case was a very complex custody battle and Attny. Martin was able to decipher what information was useful in my case and what wasn't, putting my mind at ease preparing evidence and discovery documents for my trial. Attny. Martin has true talent, knowledge and a professional approach for the entire process. I felt I received the best legal advise and representation for my case and could not be more grateful. During one of the most stressful events of your life, it's important to have an attorney you trust and can rely on to do what's best for you personally. I also believe because Attny. Matthew is a father himself, he understands the priorities and concerns as a parent and this was very important to me. I highly recommend Attny. Martin for Divorce and Family Law matters. Put your trust in him.

child custody

Attorney Martin deserves the highest rating. I contacted him at the end of a business day with an emergency matter and he returned my call after hours and spent as much time as was needed to advise me. He listened carefully and offerred his advice, which was the correct advice. He could have accep...ted representation and earned fees but that was not in the best interest of the client. I highly recommend him in all matters of family law.

Non responsive

Can’t say how poorly Matt is in responding and has no issue avoiding responding. Very unprofessional. I’ll leave it at that.
