Honest & Professional

Steve was very honest and transparent with our situation. Instead of pushing his services and collecting money from us right away he gave us advice on ways to try to handle our situation before going that route. If our situation gets to the point, we will not think twice before hiring him for his s...ervices.

Fence Encroaching Property

In 2017 my wife and I were getting ready to sell our property. We had a neighbor’s fence encroaching approximately 3 feet and listed on surveys. I Offered the neighbor to move at my expense, give property or purchase property to resolve. Neighbor selected to do nothing over a period of 24 months. ...Stephen Martin helped with letters and reassured me of my rights. He helped my wife and I understand our options to resolve. With the steps taken I was able to force the neighbor to move the fence, but it took some legal help and pressure from police. He clearly defined my rights. He was available to discuss the issue, responsive, knowledgeable, and well mannered. His letters, calls and negotiation with neighbor’s attorney help to resolve the issue the issue.

A difficult situation into a better situation

Steve and his staff are very knowledgeable and had the utmost trust in him. Like I mentioned, a difficult situation into a better one. Very respectful office. I very much appreciate their help.

Outstanding, Clear Legal Guidance and Advice

I contacted Mr. Martin for guidance on how to proceed with a Small Claims Court case. Perfect guidance! I won the case at the hearing. However, the defendant filed an appeal. At the appeal, the defendant's attorney announced filing for summary judgement against the plaintiff. Mr. Martin's explan...ation and guidance was extremely helpful--telling me what my options are and how I can proceed to my best benefit. This is a GREAT ATTORNEY!

Mr. Stephen Martin did a Great Job for Us.....

Mr. Stephen Martin did an amazing job at taking a phone call late in the evening and hearing our issue about a home we had wanted to buy but ran into a big problem with the sellers. He gave us great legal advice to prevent us from being at risk at losing our escrow money and how to proceed in the te...rmination of the contract. We are so very grateful for his help and if we ever need an attorney in the future he will definitely be our first choice.

Real estate lawyer | Jul 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Steve was immensely helpful as I prepared for a hearing far outside my area of expertise-- I was handling a proceeding for a family member seeking to evict a tenant, and Steve walked me through what I needed to know. No bill, no expectation of compensation; merely a professional courtesy that I greatly appreciate."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"One cannot overstate the technical prowess and thorough knowledge that Mr. Martin brings to the table whenever he is hired on a matter. Good quality legal work begins behind the scenes, in well-ordered files and legal theories. Mr. Martin taught me the importance of both in my time working under him. I highly recommend this attorney."
