Family Court

I recently had my first experience in Family Court and my first time hiring an Attorney to represent me in the matter. David was simply amazing and easy to get along with throughout my whole experience. David was always there for me when I needed him, he was quick to return phone calls and emails ve...ry promptly. David was always very organized, he made sure my case was in order, during my tough times. I highly recommend David W. Martin, if you are looking for an attorney to represent you, you will not be disappointed. And that's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God. Thank you David, I appreciate all that you do for me. -Nick/Fort Mill, SC.

Christine M.

I was in an unreasonable emergency situation where my divorce attorney was unable to represent me at that time and he recommended David Martin. David from the very beginning worked tirelessly and dilegently in an atypical situation defending myself, but more importantly advocating tirelessly on behal...f of my two children. He went above and beyond not only in the initial emergent situation, but throughout the duration: multiple mediations, other inquiries, other agencies, and then finally within the courtroom. His knowledge, effectiveness, thoroughness, and overall kindness was the support that was needed for my family and myself at a time when options were limited and a positive outcome seemed unlikely. He was able to defend myself from an unjust accusation that resulted ultimately in a positive outcome. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I highly recommend Mr. Martin without reservation. A respectful bulldog and champion of an attorney that you want on your side.

Returning Client

David Martin handled my divorce while with MTL in Rock Hill. I can’t say enough about how great he was in handling the case. He helped me through a very difficult situation and I know that he always had mine and my son’s best interest in mind. He helped me to push through to get the best possible res...ults and would not let me settle for less. I have recommended him before, and would do it again. When a child support issue recently arose, I did not hesitate to contact David. I trust him and am confident in the advice that he has given me. He remembered my case and was happy to answer my questions so that I would have all the information that I need to handle this new issue properly. I am happy to see him in his own firm and wish David all the best in his new practice. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me and my son!!

Family Lawyer

I am very happy to have hired Mr. David Martin in my divorce case. Mr. Martin is very knowledgeable on family law as he not only helped me to understand the process, but also take charge of the situation to allow my family the best outcome. He is very hands on and has a great understanding of famil...y law and his work shows. He was always available to communicate whether it be by phone or email and was always very responsive to questions from me or from my ex's lawyer. Mr. Martin was also very thoughtful of the final goal and not just about dragging out our case so that he may see more pay. This too me was another sign that I chose the perfect lawyer for my case!

Non-responsive and let my case slip through the cracks

I was referred to McKinney, Tucker and Lemel for a Family Law issue from another attorney. I was eventually passed off to Mr. Martin whom appeared to be a new associate at the time, but assured me Jim Tucker the Firm's Partner would oversee my case as well. I told him it was very critical to act sw...iftly on my case because it involved settlement money and a non-custodial parent that had left the country. Mr. Martin assured me he had the time to handle the case immediately and I took faith in that. I spent the next several months helplessly calling and emailing Mr. Martin who continued to ignore my phone calls. Eventually, Mr. Tucker, the Senior Partner, took over my case. $6000 later with multiple attorneys involved in other states, the case fell apart. I should have filed a Bar complaint against Mr. Martin, but hesitated because Mr. Tucker seemed to be trying to mend the disaster. It has been extremely unfortunate that my case was originally passed off to David W. Martin as my daughter lost out on a huge sum of back child support. I am only writing this review because it still bothers me to this day how poorly Mr. Martin treated us. If you are seeing this Mr. Martin, I hope you never ignore a client again and realize that when you take on case, that person is depending on you. To the client wanting to hire a Family Attorney that has your best outcome in mind, do not hire David W. Martin. He is not organized, nor is he equipped to handle a client honestly.
