Pleasant surprise

Matt is very talented and ethical. Highly recommended. I was pleasantly surprised that an affordable attorney could provide such excellent advice.

The Best

Atty. Martin is absolutely the best he was recommended to me by a friend and Atty. Martin did not disappoint. Understood my situation and what course of action to take. Walked me through the entire process and was always available to answer any questions I had. Would recommend Mr. Martin to anyone an...d have.

Matt is great!

Matthew did a great job for me on my bankruptcy. I was very anxious about the whole process, but in our first meeting Matt explained clearly what the process was and what I could expect. He kept me apprised at all times about upcoming events and what he needed for me to do, if anything. At one ti...me the town I live in sent me a very threatening letter about the back taxes I owed. I forwarded the letter to Matt and literally within minutes he sent a formal email to the town's Collector/Treasurer letting them know that they would be in violation of a certain code/statute if they pursued action against me while my bankruptcy was pending, and to call him if they had any questions. I highly recommend Matt!

Best Family Attorney

5 stars is not enough for Att. Martin. I wish I can give him 10 stars out of 5. Unfortunately, I met with Att. Martin a little before my 2 TRIALS (divorce/custody & grandparents visitation) and I so wish I've met with him sooner. guess I was not lucky enough. Att. Martin,is a very straight forwa...rd person, he gave me his undivided attention. he was extremely prompt and accommodated me in every possible way (according to his schedule) he put the TIME, EFFORT and CARE in my case which directly affects my life & my son's life. he ran to the court to read 2 probation officers reports (full term & short term investigation) that were done on my case. he advocated for me, he actively listened to my case (which had more & more details towards the end). I originally sat my own expectations to be ok if i lost him because no human brains can keep track of the details that happened in my case unless they've been through it or witnessed it. but he extremely amazed me with his sharp mind , active listening to every detail and was able to not miss on anything and put together an excellent cross examination questions that came extremely handy and made million percent sense to anyone listened to them.I felt my son & I were in good hands with Att. Martin. I don't think a family member would've got a better attention & care than what I got. Att. Martin is a very HONEST attorney with high ethics & integrity standards. HE IS SO WONDERFULL. To blow up your brains ! He's as fair to you as he's fair to himself AND THAT CAN SAY IT ALL ... HE'S SO WONDERFULL. If i had a time machine I would've met him sooner so I would've had a peace of mind. But I am done searching for attorneys, He will definitely be my attorney for the following 16 years ( until my son turns 18 years old).

Very helpful family law

I consulted Atty. Matthew Martin on some paperwork issues and he was very helpful, no attitude and made me feel very comfortable as he explained things well so I could understand. I would highly recommend Matthew Martin.
