This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Beyond Excellent!

I could write pages and more pages and would still not be enough to describe how impressed my husband and I were with Martin. He is VERY smart, competent and caring. We were dealing with a very unique case and he represented our kids. We couldn't be happier he was appointed to us. He is just very... impressive, observing and can remember details like no one else. We have recommended him to every single one of our friends. Anyone who trust Martin to represent them will not be disappointed. He is extremely smart, professional and will fight for and with you. Thank you, Martin for fighting for our family. We couldn't have won without you!

Client

Polite, knowledgeable, hardworking attorney who will always put client's interest above all. He did a very fine job for myself and my family in an estate litigation matter. I am an attorney myself so I believe that my critique of another attorney is right in line. I would definitely hire this atto...rney for any legal matter.

Did a great job for me

Martin handled a very complex commercial arbitration for my company. He is pleasent and trustworthy. We worked many late nights as well as weekends for us. He also went on 2 multi-day trips with us to speak with witnesses and work on potential settlement offers. Despite his other workload and cli...ents he was always availble to take my calls and follow up with my requests. There were many times when I needed lengthy responses and documents filed "today" and he always got it done. In fact he missed the company holiday party because we were in court on an emergency action. Martin is an excellent lawyer and a great person to work with.

Child custody lawyer | Apr 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I recently had the privilege of communicating with Martin upon an interstate custody action. He was thorough, conscientious, knew both the facts and the law with exceptional clarity, and showed himself to have exceptional legal acumen. This is a smart lawyer. I am very comfortable telling my friends in the New York area to seek out Martin-- and hire him before the other side does-- if you wish to win!!"

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
