Fantastic lawyer, excellent reputation, worth every cent!
I was looking at 5 years in prison for felony weapons charges, and the original plea bargain was 3 years in prison with my first lawyer. So I fired him and retained Arthur. When everything was said and done, with Arthur's representation, I was sentenced to 8 months in the workhouse and 5 years of u...

My Son's Guardian Angel!!
My son was charged with aggravated robbery. When I met Mr. Martinez to discuss representation for my son, the first thing he said to me was, "your son is not going to prison." I was able to sleep that night for the first time in days since my sons arrest. Mr. Martinez kept his promise. He was so prof...

Outstanding Lawyer
I had been charged with a felony drug conspiracy case and was initially looking at a ten year mandatory minimum. After working with Arthur, he told me that he would get this down to just probation.

Best money I ever spent
I hired Mr. Martinez to represent my son. All the other lawyers said that my son would go to prison, he was only 16. My son is drug and alcohol free and is doing very well in school and Mr. Martinez saved his life.
"Artie is a fantastic attorney. He fights hard and gets great results for his clients. He also is part of a very small group of attorneys who litigate forensic cases."
"I unreservedly endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Martinez for several years as both an adversary and an ally. Arty's strength is in his creativeness, his collegiality, and his knowledge and experience - in summary, he is the consummate defense attorney. His mentorship has benefited me in all areas of my practice, and his success if exceptional."
"Mr. Martinez is an exceptional attorney that provides representation to clients that many attorneys are simply unable to match. His vast experience in handling criminal matter, including those with specific forensic aspects, in unparalleled. He understands criminal law and what needs to be done to get the results a client needs."
"I endorse Mr. Martinez. I have the deepest respect for his experience and energy for the profession. He is a natural trial attorney and represents every client with the same passion."
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Artie in 1993 when we represented co-defendants in a federal criminal trial. I have had close observation of Artie in a professional capacity since that time. He is one of the top lawyers in the state, in my opinion. He knows the law. He knows the system. He is a magnificent trial lawyer. And, he is a great human being."
