Caring and Delivering

From the first word on our first phone call, to the last handshake when it was all finished, every second of my entire experience with attorney Martinez, or Nick, like he asked me to call him, was beyond amazing. With an outstanding level of knowledge and very effective communication skills, Nic...k exceeded my expectations from beginning to end. But the 1 thing that makes him so unique and extraordinary, it's his human side. How much he truly cares. You can feel it when you're talking with him. And that's something that cannot be faked... Being authentic. In most businesses you will be nothing but another number for them, specially in the legal business. But not with Nick. You will know the moment you hire him. He will be straight forward, realistic and will display any possible scenarios to you. He will explain and follow up, consistently. You will never feel like another number with him. So thank you Nick... Thank you for every text, every call and every visit. Thank you for your patience, your kindness and your support. Thank you for all your knowledge, expertise and delivering. And most of all, Thank you for caring. You're a great man, and a great attorney.

Excellent

I got into a bit of trouble few years back. Thankfully no one was injured due to my actions. Nick from day one was very nest and straight forward. He never sugar coated anything. And as a public defender, he put so much time and energy And just personal commitment into my case to ensure everything g ...was done right. The entire experience was less stressful than what came before and after, and I contribute that to Nick and Nick alone. I've heard horror stories of public defenders just not giving a damn. Nick gives more than just a damn. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of my boys as well. For keeping their dad out of trouble and putting me on a better path. God bless you Nick.

Lawyer you can trust with confidence

I met Nick while i was in mental health. It was his day off but he still fit it in his schedule to come see me. I had been going through tough times and he told me straight forward what I was facing. He told me I could get a public defender who may do the same for me In the long run but would not be... as courteous to my needs and questions.. When I got home I made the best decision I ever made. To hire Nick. He not only made me feel like a friend by returning my calls on a regular basis but also checked in on me during the lengthy prosecution. I went on to triail where he was by my side at every moment. He kept me calm and gave me hope though it all...he won the case for me and I could not be more thankful.. He is an amazing person and a lawyer who really does care. Thanks again Nick

Nick is great

Nick was not even my public defender but came to visit me in the Waukesha jail as a friend as he is my neighbor. When I was in court my PD wasn't there and Nick asked the judge if he could represent me for the day as he knew about my case on a personal level. He is a good man and a good attorney.

treated me like family

I placed my trust in atty Nicholas Martinez and he exceeded my expectations. He believed in me and was confident when I was not. He explained everything easily and made sure I always understood my options. Because of his advice, hard work and wise counsel, we got an acquittal on some very serious cri...minal charges. I have my life back and can move forward thanks to him. I would not hesitate to call on him in the future. He will always be my attorney! Thanks Nick
