Choose Carlo Martina for your divorce attorney

Divorce is tough, but I knew I was in great hands with Carlo. He has a tremendous amount of experience and really cares for people. That is the best combination when it comes to finding an attorney for divorce. Carlo took the right amount of time to ensure I fully understood the process as well as... all the details that need to be part of the divorce process. Based on my goals, he guided me where I should fight more and where it may not be in my best interest financially (even though he would have made more money). I greatly appreciated his integrity and ethical values throughout the entire process. I don't wish divorce for anyone, but if it's inevitable then you will want Carlo on your side.

Personal recommendation

Carlo handled my case with expertise and personal compassion. I would certainly recommend Carlo to any future clients and in fact I do recommend him on frequent occasions.

He's the absolute BEST!!

I never wanted, nor did I ever expect to be in a position where I was filing for a divorce, but let's face it, things happen in life. Here's my background for you... I've worked with countless attorney's on a daily basis as part of my business for the last 28 years. Because of that, I know the diffe...rence between good legal representation/service and poor service. Carlo was recommended to me by a business lawyer I knew. When I contacted Carlo the first time, I was a wreck, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I was scared that I was going to lose my children, the very thought of being relegated to an every other weekend Dad sickened me. I was more than concerned that the business I'd built up was going to be decimated too. Carlo spoke to me in a manner that was way above and beyond professional. I knew he was the right attorney to hire! He was focused, and able to clarify my priorities. While he listened to my concerns, he was able to provide reassurance that all would be well. He understood how important our children were to me, and he understood the intricacies of my business. Carlo worked tirelessly on my behalf. It didn't matter the time of day or night, or what else was going on. He took me through a brutal and ugly life event with grace and diplomacy. He never once allowed the other side's ploys or tactics to affect what had become "our" strategy. He gave me timely and needed advice. He made sure that to the best of his ability that my children, their well being, and my ability to continue to be a loving and involved Dad was protected. Carlo was not only able to get me 50/50 custody, (which is unheard of when the mom is a full time stay at home mom) but he also was able to protect my ability to provide for our children. Carlo is a true veteran in the court systems. His military background in the intelligence field was also readily apparent in how he approached every aspect of my case. Carlo not only knew the opposing counsel, he also had appeared before the judge previously. Carlo was, and is a lifesaver in many ways. I can't say enough positive things about him, his service, or his results! It's only the very best lawyers that are busy, and that's because they're in high demand. Carlo is without a doubt a true leader in his field, a gentleman and he's not afraid of getting into it with opposing counsel when warranted. I appreciated his ability to anticipate and educate me on what the opposing side would do or try. Carlo was always three to four steps ahead of any situation, he's a true expert! If you're faced with having to go though a divorce, and you want the best for your children, there's only one guy to call... Carlo Martina!

Expertise and Compassion

Mr. Martina worked intelligently and responsively as we dealt with complex custody safety issues for my children. His efforts resulted in my assurance that my children would receive the care they required due to their special needs. His staff reflected the same high quality of service and compassion ...as we endured this difficult time in our lives.

Head for the hills

I hired this attorney to file for divorce. Three different times he sent me the paperwork to review and 3 different times, it had misinformation, incomplete sentences, other errors, etc. When I finally insisted on speaking to him, he informed me that he should not have taken my case on and fired hims...elf. He said that he was short staffed. I had just hired him days before that. He clearly would have known when I hired him that he shouldn't have taken my case. After going thru such a stressful time as it is with going thru divorce, I was horrified.
