I was referred to the Martin law firm by a client of mine. I met with Dustin and after the initial meeting decided I was going to hire him because after talking to him he seemed to be very on point and very competent and confident in what he does. My divorce went and smooth and is favorable to me as one would think is possible and Dustin facilitated this he told me every step of the way give me advice of personal and professional that was all very relevant and good. I highly recommend him!

I can't believe it's almost been 9 months since my divorce. I was in a surprising and stressful situation. Dustin met with me right away. He was very understanding and patient with me. He thoroughly understood my situation. He explained to me that what I was being asked to do by my spouse was not possible according to the law. I was totally satisfied with his knowledge and professionalism. I would highly recommend Dustin to anyone needing a lawyer in Family Practice.

I hired Dustin for my recent divorce. He listened carefully to my questions and concerns, and gave me direction and good counsel on every point. Dustin truly cared about my situation, which lessened the anxiety that I had about my personal circumstances during the divorce. He communicated with me very well along the way, and made sure I understood each step in the process. The divorce is now finalized and I am very pleased with Dustin's work to make that happen. I am grateful to him for his help and genuine concern, and would recommend him to my friends and family. I appreciate the office staff as well, particularly Lauren, who was always gracious and helpful on the phone.

Divorce and an estate planning client
I received outstanding representation on two legal matters recently. Dustin Butler with the Martin Law Firm handled my divorce and estate planning. A fantastic listener, coupled with his expertise and his caring demeanor in the most difficult of times. What I admire most about Dustin, are the options he presented to me, and letting me make the decisions and respecting my choices. When life throws you a curve ball, seek out Dustin Butler without hesitation.
