Thank You Attorney Martin
Ughh, what a nightmare my life could have become, if I had not been fortunate enough to find Attorney Dakota Martin. I was wrongfully accused by the state for a crime I did not commit. Attorney Martin was beyond dedicated to ensuring I was not steamrolled by the state by clearly explaining the situation and tirelessly working to expedite a positive outcome in my case. For a process that can normally take 6 months to a year to complete, Dakota had my case dismissed in just 4 months. He went so far as to delay the start of his family vacation so my case could be dismissed that much sooner. That is dedication and I just wanted to say “Thank you, Dakota.”

Mr
Mr Martin does excellent work.
Explains in realistic and understandable terms what to expect and how he wants to approach a case. At the time he helped me with my case, his wife had a baby (congratulations!), and he was still readily accessible and willing to help. Had my case dismissed swiftly and effectively. Very professional.

Great lawyer!
Mr. Martin helped me with a very serious charge. I'm a military vet and he discovered some ways and helped come up with great ideas for getting my case dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone.

3rd OUI charged. Not guilty
Although during over the phone consultation, miss communication allowed for a discount deal on my end of this hire. Yet not for that reason alone am I glad I chose his advice and help. For his honesty in sticking with his first offer i was immediately at ease and certainly in good hands. Looking at a 3rd OUI charge, negligent operation. My back against the wall yet i wasn't alone. Helped me thoroughly through the process. I travel a lot for work which i knew would be a disaster to my life. Of course it was a bumpy road but with his confidence and loyalty I truly felt the reassuance during the hardest part of my situation which was now the time leading up to trial. Yes he explained the worst case scenario and I already knew that anyways but it was good to know he didn't leave anything out such as what the outcome could be. At the end of the day a trial is decided by citizens opinions of how they proceve the evidence. Stood firm by my side and his thoughts on what we should do. I had no problems putting my case (my life-future) in his hands. I would not hesitate to contact this lawyer again. His phone would be the first i rang if i was in trouble or just needed legal advice. Trial approaches fairly quick. Trial was set for two days which it ended up taking an extra day to finish. We got what we was going for. No OUI. Recieved the negligent operation but im able to work and continue my life without having to start over so to speak

Outstanding Professionalism
I was arrested on an OUI offense and lost my license. I hired Dakota Martin to defend me in court. He told me what to expect and lead me professionally through the whole process. He was able to get me a jury trial in less than 3 months. Dakota didn't take a plea bargain or a continuance without a finding. He didn't sway when the judge, the day of the trial, asked him to do a bench trail with no jury because it'd be quicker. He made sure to go through all the steps right down to hand selecting a jury. In the end Dakota Martin helped me win a Not Guilty verdict. Which is really more like winning your life back. I would hire Dakota again should I ever need legal advice or help in the future. Great lawyer.

Dakota worked tirelessly for us and managed to work an extraordinary deal that was almost unheard of and essentially saved my son's future. It is apparent that he truly cares about the welfare of his clients and he was always prompt in responding and very proactive in keeping us updated. He has my highest recommendation!

Coming from out of state I wasn't sure if my case was going to get a fair hearing, but attorney Martin gave me a peace of mind and won my case. I highly recommend Counselor Dakota Martin for any legal representation. He works with the highest professional and ethical standards.

I contacted Mr. Martin about my 18 year old case. He was very knowledgeable and knew the exact avenues we has to take so I could get this case behind me. As I live almost 900 miles away from Cambridge, I had to fly into town for the initial appearance. The initial appearance went quickly due to Mr. Martins professionalism and he was able to work it out so I did not have to fly into town for the second appearance. My case has now been dismissed and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Dakota Martin for your legal needs!

Would hire again
I recently ran into some legal trouble, and a colleague recommended the Law Offices of Dakota Martin. Attorney Martin handled my case himself, and was prompt and deliberate with a professional no nonsense approach. The case was skillfully handled without me ever having to appear in front of a judge, and the end result was very favorable. Highly recommend, and would hire again

I give Dakota 5 stars because I'd call him again.
My case got serious after a magistrates hearing, wrongfully accused of attempted murder by a liar. My world went up-side-down. I'm glad I met Attorney Dakota Martin. Dakota cross examining, he shreaded the states witnesses tripping them in their lies. he directed the jury right to the evidence, crushing the case, the jury took 30 minutes declaring my innocence. Look no further.

Response from Dakota MartinMarch 29, 2017
I greatly appreciate the accolades but I must clarify this one. The charge was Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon, not Murder. I would agree though, it was a hard fought case that went the distance.

Excellent Attorney!
You know the character Harvey Keitel plays in Pulp Fiction? The Wolf. Attorney Martin is that guy. If you are being accused of a crime, you have a problem. You need that problem to go away. I had a big problem, an old problem. I had a 5 year old warrant for armed robbery in Boston and I lived in California. I was on probation in California and have a record. The Boston case was open and the court and district attorney were not happy with me for taking off. With help from my family, attorney Martin set it up, and knocked it down. I flew in from California and met him at the courthouse. He kept me out of jail and worked the case until it was dismissed. He was fast and efficient.
Like the Wolf says, "If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Hire this lawyer." Hire the Wolf.

Honest and approachable lawyer; handled shoplifting case well.
Mr. Martin is a professional, approachable, and diligent attorney. He represented me as a student in court after being arrested for shoplifting and helped guide me through my first experience with the justice system.
Dakota was prompt about answering my calls and addressing my concerns. I called several attorneys around the area, including Dakota, for consultations regarding my situation and he stood out by being clear and honest about my legal options and financial costs. He was able to meet with me on the first day and listened to my story respectfully. He treated me like a person, rather than the lowlife I perceived myself to be after being arrested. After contacting him, he represented me in court; he stayed close by my side and was guide me through the trial and clearly explain the post-trial outcome/process.
In the end, I was very content with the outcome, especially due to the severity of some other potential outcomes that could have occurred. Dakota handled the situation in a very timely manner, treated me as a whole person, and I would not hesitate to recommend him others in a similar situation as me.

Excellent Lawyer who works efficiently!
A few years ago I needed a lawyer to defend me in a criminal case. As I had minimal exprience I sought out the best. Dakota was able to carefully present my case and succeed at winning my case. He was very well prepared and made sure everything happened in the most organized and efficient manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring a lawyer who is caring, skilled, and will make sure you are well represented.

Saved my Life!
I was recently pressed with excessive criminal charges while on vacation. Since I live in Alaska, I could not make my court date and despite attempting to contact numerous attorneys, I couldn't find anyone to take care of my case. Shortly after my court date, I heard about Attorney Martin through a friend. He eliminated the excessive criminal charges in my case, lowered my fine and cleared my record. I was so worried about my future, until Dakota Martin stepped in and saved the day. I hope I don't need a lawyer again, but if I ever do he will definitely be the first man I call and I'd encourage anyone facing criminal charges to do the same.
