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.

An efficient Competent Attorney

I contacted Mathew Martin in regards to some liens that had appeared on my deed. After we discussed specifics on the phone, he told me he would have a look and get back to me that same afternoon with his advice and counsel. Well he did exactly as he promised and we were able to resolve the issues fo...r me. I would highly recommend him and will consult on other matters with him.

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!

Excellent representation

Atty Martin helped me successfully navigate through bankruptcy and foreclosure. He was easy to reach and patiently helped with all of my questions. His service really went above and beyond expected assistance. Highly recommended.

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!
