Jeff Martin may be a nice guy, but if you are charged with a DUI, you will need more than ‘nice’ for an effective defense strategy. My experience leads me to believe his counsel was simply unprofessional. I hired Jeff Martin on December 7, 2017 and my experience transpired over eight months, whic...h I will summarize below. Mr. Martin exhibited exceptional enthusiasm to provide me counsel prior to receiving relevant evidence. Initially, Mr. Martin was very sympathetic to my situation and willing to learn about the details… that is, before he received payment to represent me. He provided tall tales of his influential relationships and success stories that were merely an anecdotal façade of irrelevant and unrealistic outcomes. Pointedly, once evidence arrived, Mr. Martin was unable to construct the defense for which I paid him. I wasn’t looking for a guarantee of a positive outcome, but I did deserve an intelligent and reasonable defense strategy. His best advice was to gameplay scenarios based on who the Judge assigned to my case may or may not be. Since those factors are beyond control, that should not have been a primary approach for defense! Once present at my court appearance, I politely asked if he would submit a plea on my behalf, but he outright refused after allegedly inquiring before I arrived. Before the trial, I repeatedly inquired about the consequences of my potential conviction. Mr. Martin became frustrated answering this question multiple times and insinuated I might be mentally challenged, by comparing me to a client of his who required mental analysis as a result of her being physically assaulted. This was a completely unprofessional attitude for Counsel I was supposed to trust, and paid generously to represent my interests. After all, I am not an attorney and needed details with which I was unfamiliar. Here’s the reason I am writing a review of my experience with Jeff Martin: His demeanor in representing me quickly changed after my initial conviction, at which time I received a phone call from Mr. Martin to remove a critical online review I had posted. He spoke about appealing the case for my benefit. But in exchange, he required that I must promptly remove the online review and only then would his representation continue. We moved forward when I removed the review and we then “challenged” the ruling decision. Unfortunately, and ultimately, he did not provide any additional defense after he issued me guidance to appeal the initial decision. He never had a plan or direction for my defense and basically just held my hand as I was sentenced. Being ‘nice’ and having supposed influential relationship are NOT a reasonable substitution for adequate and effective representation. Personally, I do not trust Mr. Martin’s ability to provide counsel. I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone hire Jeff Martin of Tillotson and Martin.

I was charged with a DUI and I blew a 0.08. I thought life was over. Attorney Martin was there for me throughout the entire ordeal. He advised me that the case would not be as easy as I had thought, but prepared me for the possible outcomes. The prosecutor denied a plea bargain, so attorney Martin de...cided we should go to trial! The outcome of the trial was a better result than the plea bargain. I got to keep my license and I did not have to attend ASAP. I would recommend Attorney Martin to anyone who has been charged with a DUI!

We're interviewing attorneys for our daughter, who's recuperating from a one-car accident. Mr. Martin was very thorough, explaining the legal process from hiring to the case itself. Also impressed with his science background and how important it is to working his cases. Still interviewing, but Mr. Ma...rtin's at the top of the list.

As a past client, I can recommend Jeff Martin as an outstanding attorney who goes out of his way for his clients. His full understanding of the laws, court systems, and other circumstances gives him the edge to help his clients achieve the best possible outcome. Together with his staff you can expect... to receive prompt actions in your best interests.
