frustrated client

Please be very careful when hiring a lawyer, lawyers are paid hourly and they will take all their sweet time "understanding" your case. I hired Mr John because he gave me a pretty good idea of the good out come and all of the odds going for me in my family case in his "free" initial consultatio...n, well after this I went home and was exited to hire him, on my return ( the visit for me to hire him ) he took 4 hours to "understand" my case, all of this time was spent saying mmm,, mmhh .. ,mmmhh,, on his side , so i thought he was cautions and trying to understand the case, but little did i know that this behavior became really , really constant exhausting the funds i trusted him with and doing no actual work, my money was spent on consultations(me trying to make him see my point) he will charge you the time he takes to charge you . he will charge for email( very long emails from him ) he charges calls, he charges the time he takes to bill for his work so if you have a charge you dont agree with and feel like telling him you hesitate because guess what , he will charge you, leaving you very ,, very frustrated because you just have to take his charges and cant even tell him you disagree because he will charge you !! please if you are considering him be advice you are hiring him with open pockets , it will NOT ,, i say it again NOT matter the total set in contract, in that small note that states that funds can be over total in contract ,, take is as a for sure total will end up 3 times more of the initial set amount , at the end he got my money and withdrew with out further notice. Please be very cautious to do a contract with Mr. Martinez. I do this review because i wish some one would have done the same to advice people.

Great attorney who cares about his clients, and gets things done!!

Mr. Martinez represented me on a family law matter and was very attentive to my case and very knowledgeable. He kept me informed at every step. He made me feel glad I hired him to represent me!

  • 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.
