This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He made my divorce as painless as possible…

High quality, high professionalism, highly responsive and highly intelligent. I felt as if he had my back and covered all his bases like a rockstar. I will refer him and the law firm to anyone looking for representation.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Martin is, in a word, AWESOME!

I have already referred Marty to a friend, and will do so for anybody looking for a good family law attorney. He is super responsive to my calls and emails, and always takes the time to explain what is currently happening as well as the next steps. This divorce has been super hard on me, and Marty ha...s always been compassionate as well as helpful. He is also very honest, yes you read that correctly, an honest attorney. While I wish nobody had to go through a crappy divorce, or deal with child custody issues brought on by a complete jerk, we live in the real world. I would HIGHLY recommend you hire Marty to represent you through this difficult time in your life. I have heard horror stories from friends who did not find the right attorney, so know how important it is to find one you can trust.

Family lawyer | Dec 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Martin is an extremely knowledgeable attorney. His background in finance sets him apart from many attorneys who practice in this field. I attended a continuing legal education course where he instructed other attorneys about drafting settlement agreements, and I personally learned a great deal from him. I have been impressed with his intellectual nature, his dedication to practicing family law, and the fact that he gives back by volunteering his services to low income individuals (to which a great deal of time can be devoted). All the while he is kind and easy to talk to which is great for clients and opposing counsel alike."
