Timothy P. Martin

I selected Tim Martin as our attorney for a sticky family domestic violence problem. We did not anticipate the charge when the police showed up to help us address a family dispute, and were traumatized by the subsequent incarceration of our teen son, and possible negative lifelong consequences that g...o with that kind of charge on one's legal record. I selected Tim after interviewing him and another attorney because of his personable and knowledgeable style. As the father, right away he put me at ease about my son's situation, reassuring me that he thought he could easily win the case in our favor. He guided us through some turbulent times on how to deal with the legal system, the process of going through it, etc. When the hearing finally came for the charges (domestic violence and criminal damage to property) he had the case dismissed within minutes. It was a big relief for our family. Also, Tim is one of the most open minded, and positive individuals I ever expected to encounter in the legal field, particularly criminal law. It was a pleasure to work with him, and we are eternally grateful for the results. I highly recommend Tim as someone who will 'have your back' from beginning to end on a case, and provide the expertise and service you deserve.

Timothy P. Martin took my fiance's case. This was a very personal family matter in which an excellent attorney was in need. My fiance was locked up for being a very protective father. For an incident which at this time is a very severe problem in the Northwest Suburbs and this particular county of Du...page Co IL. The problem is a terrible heroine problem with young kids dying from overdoses. I went online searching for a not good but an excellent attorney and Tim Martins rating was excellent. Now you can't always believe what you read, so I called Tim and he wasted no time getting on the phone with me. We spoke for some time and he himself was shocked at what had happened to our daughter. He put me at ease with his knowledge and he went to the jail to speak to my fiance at the county lock up the following day to see how he was and to assure him that he would take his case and handle it with care. And indeed he did. He called often to see how things were with our daughter and the entire family. Tim takes the time to not only make sure that the accused is ok but he also has deep compassion for the family of a wrongfully accused person. Tim understands that there is stress on the family also. I have to say that when this happened I talked to quite a few attorneys. However, after speaking with Timothy Martin my mind and heart was at ease. Tim Martin is an excellent attorney who works hard on each and every case. He has empathy and care and puts his heart and soul into each case that he is involved with. I am so happy with his work as my fiance and our entire family. The reason is that Timothy P. Martin worked hard and proved in a court of law that my fiance should be and is today a free man. I could go on and on about Tim Martin but what the truth is, is that Timothy P Martin is not a good attorney but an excellent attorney. If just a good attorney is what you are looking for it's not Tim you want because Timothy P. Martin is an excellent attorney.

from the moment I called Mr. Martin's office, even prior to retaining his services, I knew I had made correct choice. I was well-informed of the most likely outcome of my case; which is exactly what occurred. Once I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Martin, I left his office feeling comforted, p...rotected and knew the course of action that would be taken. He navigated the system with ease, I always knew where to go, when to be there, what to say (or not say), and what to expect. Quite frankly, he gave excellent expert advice and gave me the feeling of being in charge of my future. Mr. Martin was able to get my actual hearing date expedited and on that date, just as quickly, my case was dismissed. Had I not found my way into his hands, things could have gone completely different. I would hire his firm again if needed and I would recommend him to family and friends without hesitation. His knowledge of the workings of the court was more than impressive. This was a very trying time in my life with a situation in which I never dreamed I would find myself, and having Mr. Martin on my side gave a sense of security that I was truly lacking. There was no longer fear of the unknown and I truly cannot thank him enough. I never had to wait to speak with him if I had any questions and I was never made to feel that my questions or concerns were unimportant. He was honest and straight forward but, at the same time gentle and reassuring. He and his firm are extremely professional and experts in their arena. Once again, I cannot thank him enough.

Tim is a good guy and a good attorney. He asked the right questions and called the right witnesses and went to bat for me. He also listened to what I had to say and had a second attorney at court. As a result, I was found innocent of the false accusations my ex-wife filed against me. I would reco...mmend Mr. Martin to anyone.

Attorney Tim Martin represented me on a misdemeanor battery case during the post-conviction phase. I sought Mr. Martin's assistance after discharging my original trial counsel due to grossly ineffective assistance and colossal legal errors. Tim stepped right in and immediately began filing the appr...opriate motions with the Court for relief from probation requirements and counseling requirements. This was an extremely difficult case dealing with sensitive issues in the public arena. I had the State's Attorney, probation, and the public against me, but Tim firmly believed in my innocence and continued to file every relief motion he possibly could. At one point in time, he even asked the Court to reconsider the original sentence. He fought extremely hard at every court hearing, utilizing any legal avenue he could. It's just a shame the judge was very prejudiced and rarely ever gave me a fair shake. However, considering I had the weight of the State and Probation against me, things turned out much better than they could have. Tim was able to convince the judge to grant me specific relief on the requirements of probation and counseling. I have no doubt that if Tim Martin had been my original trial counsel, we would have surely won the entire case. Tim does not allow the State to get away with their lies and bull sh-- about actual innocent clients. He is not afraid to interrupt the State or rebut them when needed. Even to this day, Tim is still exploring avenues for me to see if there is any possibility of vacating the plea and conviction involving my case. He promptly returns phone calls and always thoroughly investigated the law surrounding my specific case. I would not hesitate to have him represent me again if he was able to reopen my case and vacate my conviction.
