So far great feedback.
Been consulting with Antonion for sometime now regarding a support issue, and he has been very helpful and knowledgeable. Gave me great feedback as well as guidance on how to proceed. I will be hiring Mr. Martinez in hope of resolving my situation.
Grateful that we were able to identify a less costly approach to resolving the Family law/Child Support issue which we did.
"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."
