"Mr. Martinez has worked with me and demonstrated his knowledge of FDA laws and regulations as well as a skill set that sets him apart from other lawyers in this area. He is able to distill the essence of complex matters and communicate the basic ideas in plain English or Spanish, for the benefit of co-counsel and clients alike. And he is sensitive to the time needs and budgetary constraints of all involved. In addition, he's very personable and a perfect gentleman. I highly recommend him."
