I made an excellent choice hiring Katherine Martell.

I contact Mrs. Katherine Martell on a Sunday, her amazing paralegal called me and I was able to retain Katherine immediately after she review the case of my husband. I have been emotional because of the situation but Mrs. Martell and her paralegal have been patience and have always return my calls ...and mails to update me. If you are looking for a lawyer that that works 24/7 I would definitely contact Mrs. Martell law firm.

Posted by anonymous June 2017 I hired Katherine to help me on a very serious matter regarding my son. Unfortunately, i lost my money because i hired a terrible person. All she cares about is the money.

Worst Lawyer i ever encountered

I hired Katherine to help me on a very serious matter regarding my son. Unfortunately, i lost my money because i hired a terrible person. All she cares about is the money. Whenever i had questions she never answered or returned my calls, it is almost impossible to get through to her. Whenever she sho...wed up in court she was never organized, always on her phone. She would show up without my son’s file. As a criminal lawyer i have to say she is not ETHICAL and care less about her clients.

Highly Recommend

I hired Katherine to represent me through my prolonged divorce involving custody of my children. Katherine was caring and understanding of my situation and needs, and she fought my case with relentless dedication and professionalism. I can't recommend her enough!! Thank you!

I don't usually do reviews but i want to thank Katherine for helping me get through a real life nightmare. She cleared my name, and gave me back my freedom. THANK YOU!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Public Reprimand issued in VA, 2011

updated on 04/09/2013

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
