We could not have gotten a better lawyer!

My husband’s green card process was long and difficult and Tony was supportive throughout. He is meticulous with all the forms and documents we were required to submit. He makes sure that every detail is correct and he leaves NO room for error. In our case, his insistence on preparedness was invalu...able. When my husband’s visa was denied at the interview in Mexico, I knew that our paperwork was not the issue. Tony coached us long distance and he was able to turn our problem into success. Tony’s ability to help is endless, he is an outstanding lawyer and a caring individual.

Integrity and Trust

My partner and I, both senior citizens, were in a terrible situation after being sold an undisclosed problematic RV that finally wiped us out financially. Tony Martinez helped us identify local counsel to consult with in our state of Florida, government resources, elected officials who could possibl...y help us, and other ways we could advocate for our case. Unfortunately, in the end, we were not successful. We learned that Florida law does not favor consumers, or seniors for that matter, in the state of Florida. However, this did not stop Tony from finding another way to help us keep a roof over our heads in spite of our horrible situation. He successfully assisted us by organizing a GoFundMe Campaign which eventually brought us enough funding to buy a small home here in central Florida. Knowing our dire financial situation due to many repairs and still living in a broken down RV, Tony did this for us pro bono. After nearly a year trying unsuccessfully to get any legal help, this was a stark wake up call for us, a reminder that there are still lawyers ‘out there’ who care and want nothing more than for the system to work for its people. Some attorneys see their work as a job. Others see it as a dedicated calling with passion and purpose. Tony is that special attorney. He has realized his purpose is to go above and beyond simply doing a job that any attorney can do. We will forever be grateful for his service and kindness to us. If you need an attorney with intelligence, know how, and heart, my partner, CJ, and I highly recommend Tony Martinez.

Complex Divorce & Immigration Matter

Greetings, my experience when hiring the lawyer Antonio C Martínez II., was excellent. I had a difficult relationship with my ex-husband. When we married in 2015 where he petitioned for my permanent residence in the United States. After arriving in the USA, a year later my marriage began deteriora...ting. For my physical and emotional health, this forced a separation lacking sufficient time to renew the two-year residence requirement to lift the conditions on my permanent residence, the I-751 process. I consulted several lawyers trying to find a solution, full of fear and despair since they told me that my case was complex because I no longer lived with my husband at the time. It was a dreadful situation. After consulting with Mr. Antonio C Martínez II., I felt that there was hope that I did not have to live in an abusive relationship with my ex-spouse to complete my immigration process. He explained to me that spouses do not have to tolerate abuse or domestic violence if they have an ongoing immigration process. He assisted me in obtaining a divorce on the grounds of cruelty. I was able to self-petition for my I-751 successfully. Antonio worked with me every step in the process, educated me, and empowered me to overcome my fear and ignorance. Everything went well and I was able to obtain my permanent residence. I am ever grateful for his good service.

The absolutely best!

Where can I start? Mr. Martinez, or Tony as he prefers is in a class of his own. His experience and knowledge about the background of my case has been nothing short of exceptional. Tony is very detailed, intricate and has a vast array of know how in regards to family court. If I needed clearance on l...egal terms and a better understanding of the process I was going through, he showed me the path. We kept in constant contact throughout the duration of my case, responds promptly and will guide you through any necessary steps that need to be taken. Tony is also very kind and open to all thoughts, questions and concerns you may have and will tell you things straight forward. My time working with Tony these last few months have been a positive experience and I would not hesitate to work with him again if the need arises.

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.

"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."
