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.

Outstanding attorney kept the kids in my life

Counselor Martin is the most professional, experienced, and constructive attorney that you will find; a true hidden gem that has been handling my family cases with great success. Firstly, if you’re going to be a client, try to be an informed client. I have a lot of experience with other lawyers and... have been through several court procedures, with everything in between. I have a measurable amount of knowledge through experience, regrettably, to accurately evaluate Counselor Martin as one of the finest attorneys in family law. Whether on a budget or not, he will do the best job for you, without doubt. After my initial consultation, I felt extremely comfortable. It was probably the first time, in a long time, that I rested well, with no worries on my custody case. A lot of lawyers can do that for you when you first meet them, but Counselor Martin was completely in control and did everything, (court filings and responses, communication with opposing attorneys, delivering updates to me, adjusting to court scheduling), quickly and succinctly. It was such a different experience from my past attorneys. There was no wasteful back and forth with other lawyers. The manner in which he operates prevents things from becoming a mess, something other attorneys can do intentionally or not, but this is as important as it helps with the time and money wasted in courts, which makes him affordable. I know he helped me dodge a lot of unnecessary expenses, otherwise, while bringing the judgment that was fair to my family. Think about this, when you're being represented so well, others think twice about unreasonable, litigious behavior. Those long term benefits are something that our family is still accumulating. So, from an informed client, trust me, you will sleep a lot better having Matthew Martin represent you. Best of luck!

An Attorney with Real Integrity

Matthew Martin handled a family law case for me. Having dealt with attorneys who were less than trustworthy and/or diligent in the past, I was naturally wary in looking for my latest attorney. Mr. Martin was, quite simply, the answer to my prayers. He was honest, extremely fair in what he charged com...pared to other lawyers, he fought hard for me, and he was sharp as a tack in both his ongoing assessment of my case and his appearances in court. I'd go so far as to say that if you consider all aspects of what you look for in a lawyer, you couldn't do better than Matthew Martin representing you in a family law case. He literally helped turn my life around.

You're in good hands with Attorney Martin

When seeking a bankruptcy attorney, I knew from the moment we met in our consultation that I wanted to choose to Attorney Martin to represent and guide me through the Chapter 7 process, and I'm so thankful I did. Matt was especially personable and understanding to my financial situation, which really... meant a lot to me during a time of despair and uncertainty. He clearly explained the process, what his expectations would be of me, and how the course of events would unfold from beginning to end. Attorney Martin was seemingly always right there for me, as he so often amazed me when he returned my calls or emails in the drop of a dime. And, perhaps what's important to many people, his fees are reasonable and he was extremely flexible and patient while waiting for my payments. Now that everything is said and done I consider his fees as money well spent. I highly recommend Attorney Matthew Martin to represent you if you are seeking a reputable and experienced Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney. Believe me, you will sleep so much better!
