Bond Yourself To a Trial Never Happening; Demand Speedy Trial by Jury

They charge thousands, demand "Bonds" for trials they do not run. Not one trial in his town was done in over a year. Be prepared to serve your entire sentence before conviction or trial. "Time Served" is a common sentence but also is a usable confession of a judge to Treason against the Constit...ution, admitting a legally innocent person served their entire sentence without conviction or trial; thus, the worst crime in the USA, Treason. Frustrating State Laws must yield to Federal Laws and an entire criminal case must be done within 100 days. They do not follow Speedy Trial; they cannot provide Rights like to Speedy Trial by Jury to even 5% they charge in criminal suits. Georgia caged and imprisoned an accused over a decade without conviction or trial. A Motion: For Bond may be made with an Indigent Pack served to the Court & DA; it's literally 2 copies of the words "Motion: For Bond" signed and served; I saved you the $750 this guy charges, but you'll need to prove these 3 things in the Hearing which are 1) No Flight Risk 2) No Harm to the Community or More Crime 3) Will Not Tamper With Witnesses. The jail is just to get you to sign their Waiver which are evidence of Treason Against the Constitution...most accused are jailed without the 5th Amendment required Indictment. The trial notices are fake and fraudulent, but don't expect any of these lawyers to turn in their buddies, they're making money off this racket. If you demand a Speedy Trial by Jury, they cannot accommodate those Rights, so if even 10% of those in jail write in demanding Speedy Trial by Jury, they'd have so many Dismissals because they cannot provide those Rights. This lawyer can and will deny you Due Process; they need a 5th Amendment Waiver to present anything you stated and will conduct their Kangaroo Courts without you, which is a crime and denial of Constitutional Due Process. In Georgia, an accused cannot be both "crazy" and a Georgia Criminal; look up Crime Defined in the Georgia Statutes as intent must be present with the criminal act in all but 1 crime in the Georgia Statutes (Criminal Negligence). The judges nor Appellate Courts understand basic jurisdiction, instead ruling and exercising as Federal Courts & do not use the US Supreme Court's precedence on Federal Constitutional Rights. They cannot provide 5% of they charge with Rights like to Speedy Trial byJury, do not expect them to uphold yours. Hebeas Corpus + Interlocutory Appeal bars criminal prosecution, but they don't follow the law; too busy making money off "Waivers" they've convinced themselves are legal and admissable, and oddly not used as evidence of Treason against the Constitution. The USA has only 2 types of suit, Criminal and Civil; both have Federal Constitutional Rights to Jury. The Waivers must contain 3 things in the signature to be legal and those 3 features are 1)Knowingly 2)Intelligently 3)Voluntarily and since many of these are signed by prisoners, they fail to tell you those Rights until you sign. Write in demanding Speedy Trial by Jury, get others to, and watch the Jails have to do mass Dismissals. They'll try to say it's something procedurally incorrect, but the fact is, they cannot provide Federal Constitutional Rights and use Jails as US Gitmos for Waivers. What makes a crime a crime is the Constitutional Rights Deprivations of another. Nothing made or drafted may ever be legally superior to the Federal Constitution, but the Waivers do outline exactly which Rights they knew they'd take from you, so the Waivers are the evidence of their Treason. The national average is 2% chance of trial, just 0 in this particular Court. In Federal Civil Courts less than 1% do Dispositions with Jury when the 7th Amendment ensures Jury for anything over $20. It's a Treasonous Racketeering Scam.

The absolute best attorney ever!!!!

Luke has answered calls from jail, on Sunday evenings while at home with his family. He was initially hired for a bond motion, and went above and beyond. He worked with me on payment, was extremely knowledgeable, and informative. He’s down to earth and funny!! He makes you feel comfortable and doesn’...t forget anything. He works for you and with you. An all around great guy, and helped me to better myself, challenge my perception and tells you what you need to hear. Good, bad, or indifferent. He didn’t let me make excuses for myself and was punctual, well dressed, well spoken, and an all around delight! Hire him! You will not be disappointed! There isn’t a better criminal defense attorney!

I Agree With Destiny’s Review; He is the Best Lawyer

Would you like to feel heard? Would you like to know each and every step to take in your case? Would you like a straight forward answer paired with unmatched beside manner? Hire Mr. Martin, he’s the most qualified for the job. You may not know it from the humble conversation, but this dude has g...one, and won his cases not once, but twice, all the way to the Supreme Court. Either the prosecution or defense side, he understands how to use this in your best favor. It’s hard to believe I randomly came across this lawyer. Full disclosure, I incurred charges from another attorney, and Mr. Martin is on the case. He works with you, he’s kind…and he’s in this small northwest GA little town called Rome. He puts your mind at ease; he’s helpful and not judgmental…this is not your run-of-the-mill attorney. I highly doubt you’ll hear anything negative, either. From drug dealers to pretentious yuppies, this guy, somehow helps people from all walks, I can’t stop singing his praises, and neither can anyone who has hired him. I implore people to just check around…it’s consistently solid reviews and nothing but love. This is hands-down the best, most brightest and competent attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, and everyone agrees. Thank you Mr. Martin, for all your help and dedicated work. So many people have you to thank for helping clearing up misunderstandings. You’re a rockstar.

Excellent Attorney

Luke works diligently on your case and keeps you informed of updates and changes. He sees his incarcerated clients regularly and prepares documentation for court hearings in advance. He is friendly and no-nonsense and I would hire him again in the future.

"I have known Mr. Martin since he was an intern in the District Attorneys' office I worked in at the time, and later worked alongside him in that same office after he became an attorney. He is able to think outside the box and move towards the goal in mind while at the same time being practical about the case in front of him."
