Once he gets the money he disappears.

Absolutely the worst lawyer. stole my money. Never once represented be. Didn't pick up my calls or text. Allowed my wife to do all the work. I was in jail for 50 days amd was later found not guilty because my girlfriend made 2 calls. Was released for wrongful imprisonment.

Outstandingly horrible law firm

Shittiest law firm you could imagine. Very unprofessional lawyer (Ryan) showed up 40 min late to one appointment then a hour late to another. No communication whatsoever. Doesn’t matter if you leave a voicemail you won’t get a respond back. They don’t sit with you and talk about your options they com...e late and pretty much work with the judge. If you choose them u might as well have the court assign u a free lawyer to get the same outcome. If I could give 0 stars I would. I 100% do not recommend to anybody save your money find someone else. Only genuine person was Jeannine but she works in the office. And is the one review left by Jeanine is a worker of there’s so they make their own reviews.

Alcoh...olism is a disease. Hecktor Martinez Jr. LPA, represented my father in court in regards to a DUI where reasonable charges were reduced. A successfull road to recovery and sobriety will pray be the continued next steps to a better life. Thank you Attorney Martiez for your steadfast unmovable professional guidance threw this process.

My DUI

Hector helped me out when I need it the most. I was 34 when I got snagged for my last DUI. I decided I WILL NOT drink anymore. Within a month and a half I found out that I was going to be a dad. This could have gone really bad for me, but because of steps that I took to prove myself, and because of H...ector's work and guidance, my punishment and fines were minimal. It has been 2 years and 7 months since I had my last drink, and I have a beautiful young daughter, and we just welcomed my son into the world last week. Life is good, and Hector is one of the people I have to thank for that. Thank you Hector Martinez and Sebastian Proels!! :)Hugh
