Every step of the way

Met with Mr. Martin after deciding I needed to file for bankruptcy. He told me everything I needed to do, and worked with my somewhat difficult schedule to make my life easier. He told me exactly what to expect, and how to react to those events. After my case has finished, he has still offered help t...o make sure that my rights are protected. I am forever grateful for his guidance every step of the way.

RH Martin and Associates

This firm helped me make a difficult but necessary decision to file Chapter 13. Everyone in the office was empathetic, knowledgeable, professional and responsive to any questions and concerns. Every step from filing , keeping me informed and reassured when needed was done - real customer service fro...m start to finish. I would recommend them highly and often.

Avvo Rating

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.
