So Glad I Found Mr. Martino

I hope this helps someone in a similar situation. I was charged with a DUI in 2015, I had a high BAC. I really struggled with whether I should retain a lawyer or just plead on my own. I really did not want to have a DUI conviction on my record, so I swept the Internet looking at reviews and prices. I... called attorney after attorney. They mostly made me feel like I had done something really awful, which made me feel even worse about the situation. The high BAC seemed to make them apprehensive, which in turn made me more nervous. I finally came across Mr. Martino. He had an awesome rating and he called me back that same day. Nick talked to me like a human being. He didn't shame or pressure me. I have to say, I could not be more pleased with my decision to retain Nick. Every single time I needed to ask questions, I was always able to get in contact with him. I didn't have to wait hours or days to talk to him, and Mr. Martino was very professional, knowledgeable, and well spoken. He was always at court on time (he even went to court and the DMV for me), and he had a good rapport with the D.A. Instead of having a DUI on my record, Mr. Martino was able to get my charges reduced to a reckless, with adjudication withheld. He resolved the bare minimum on the fines imposed. I just cannot say enough how eternally grateful I am.

An attorney that won't give up

I have personally known Nicholas Martino for 16 years. I had never been arrested in my life and was charged with a DUI. In a short period of time my case was reduced to reckless driving with no probation, and adjudication of guilt withheld. Due to Mr. Martino's caring nature about his clients and kno...wledge of the law and what a defendants rights are is what ended in a successful resolution for me. I am thankful and grateful to him for all of his hard work. If I know of anyone in the future that needs an attorney that will help them win their case, Nicholas Martino is who I will refer them to.

Finally, a professional who cares

I think that finding a "caring professional" is like finding a needle in a hay stack! But Mr. Martino was incredibly dedicated to me and my case. I work with a lot of lawyers and Mr. Martino was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so thankful he did. I expected Mr. Martino to be professional... and understand the elements of the case and the criminal law, but he really worked to get me the best outcome possible. I've seen how other lawyers treat their clients and cases and he is one of those very few lawyers who really wants to help you out. I felt like he wanted to do everything legally possible to help me out. If you want someone who knows criminal law and is going to fight for your rights. Mr. Nicholas Martino is the man to call!
