Timothy P. Martin

Perhaps if your case is worthy of his attention, he may do a great job. I suspect this may be true, but my case clearly was insignificant to him and while 6k was spent for the defense, he only seemed interested in striking a deal. I know people who get arrested often lie about their innocence but I ...really was in this case (innocent) and I couldn't live with the horrible unfair charge. This was during the period he was going through a divorce so maybe it affected his performance but after clearly dealing with indifferent ( and condescending) advice, he flat out told me I was lucky I didn't get a more horrific charge that what I received and I had no defense!! Now when you are innocent of the original charge and then have your own lawyer accuse you of something worse, was unbearable. I am not an unreasonable person but this was totally unfair. So I decided to get a different attorney. I will put his name out there. Bitterness (especially since I won) is not healthy or the right approach - but I can't help it. Let me also mention that when I informed Mr. Martin ( nicely through voicemail since he never returned a call) that I retained another attorney, not only did not respond but his office never sent any of the defense documents. His office has video footage and statements that we never had access to for our defense. His office probably still has this stuff. I know he could have gotten in trouble over this but what a horrible thing to do. He never returned any money ( he made an easy 6k) - of course he had the right to keep the amount for the time he put in but believe me, the hours would have not been much if he were honest. I know things happen, but no one from his office showed up for one of the initial court dates- can't remember why but I really can't believe our experience was unique. Again, the year was 2009 and perhaps this was a tough year for him, but there was no excuse for the insensitive comments he made and the callous attitude when someone's reputation is on the line. So let me conclude by warning anyone who is considering have Mr. Martin defend them. FACT: A case that he insisted was unwinnable was creamed in court - easily as the transcript will show. Mr. Martin argued ( argued!) that I should take the plea- and frustratingly did not want to take it to court. When I refused any deal that I would have to plea guilty to knowing I was innocent- he responded that I was lucky I didn't get a worse charge. Shame on him and hopefully I will help someone avoid a horrible experience. Thank you.

In my early 20s I was a heavy drug user arrested several times and in and out jail. Upon my release from prison in 2004 I finally cleaned my life up. Over the course of ten yrs I was a law-abiding, tax-paying, gainfully employed citizen and father. Unfortunately I relapsed after all of that time whil...e going through a tough divorce. I was arrested for my third felony drug possession charge and fifth misdemeanor in the wake of this slip up. The prosecutor in the case wanted a lengthy prison term based on my prior convictions and naturally I was scared to death because unlike 10 years ago when I admit I was a drug-addled criminal who didn't care about going to prison, I was now a good man who had made a terrible mistake. This is why I hired Mr. Martin. I knew that he had experience in the prosecutor's office, so I hired him with the hope that his history with them would give him a chance to open a dialouge that goes beyond my criminal history. He assured me upon our first meeting that as long as I stayed clean and out of trouble I would not see the inside of a jail cell. His diligence paid off for me. He got me a plea agreement of 24 months probation. No drug court, no community service, and most importantly, no jail or prison, so I was able to continue on with my life, keep my job and take care of my kids. I couldn't be happier with result and would recomend Martin and Kent fully for anyone who makes a mistake and finds themselves in a situation where they need legal representation.

I don't usually write reviews, but wanted to take the time to post my experience with Tim Martin and his office manager, Julie Nelson. I've used Mr. Martin's services on two separate occasions over the last 2 years. Both times he provided me with exemplary legal services, counsel, and advice. He was ...on top of the many details of my case, represented me extremely well in court, and in both cases I received results that far exceeded my expectations. He delivers when it matters most. Ms. Nelson went above and beyond to help me with every aspect of my case. She is one of the most organized, efficient people I've ever met. I trust them both and would not hesitate to hire their services again in the future

Tim is extremely trustworthy and professional, he knows how to take care of his clients and he will represent you better than anyone else. His office is amazing, and his secretary (Julie) is the kind of person that when you enter the building - you feel like part of the family. Tim is very understand...ing, but will be honest with you about your case, and will not be mislead. If you want it done right, then use Tim to represent you.
