John Michael Martin

This attorney is a gem and a needle in a haystack. Seriously the most friendly and patient guy that is not looking at the clock and seriously cares about the outcome of your case and well being. He even called me and other individuals involved to follow up until everything was taken care of. What an... amazing guy!

All I have to say about Attorney J. Michael Martin (better known as Mike) is that is he is absolutely the most respectful, generous, and ethical lawyers in the legal business. His integrity and his ethics are unmatched, which is difficult to say about most practicing lawyers in the business today. He... currently is not residing in Arkansas where he was formerly a Deputy Prosecutor in Little Rock's Pulaski County, then declined the opportunity as an Assistant D.A in Pulaski County. After this he moved from Little Rock, Arkansas to Omaha, Nebraska to work for The Union Pacific Railroad due to the incentive of a higher salary and worked as their in house counsel, and still has a residence there in Omaha. That is what I know of him after recently speaking with him and have known him dating back to our college years. I knew he would be perfect since he also holds an accounting degree with honors (either Cum Laude or Magna Cum Laude, I don’t recall to be certain.) from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia. This is the same university where he graduated in the same class with Governor and Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. Well enough about Mike’s outstanding credentials, I needed his help. Mike informed me (he was not very healthy and under severe stress due to a private manner I will not disclose publicly.) but as a courtesy to me, and our friendship, he would make an effort and requested that I mail him as many documents, whether I thought they were relevant or not. I did, including phone records to him via FedEx. I sent all of the paper work to him where he informed me that he had caught a flaw in the collection process and would write up a debt collection removal letter to send to the debt collector to stop harassing me and threatening me due to a very expensive $5,900 hospital bill my son had that went into collections. Mike then told me to buy a phone recorder and record every threatening word this debt collector said to me. Then after this, he would also assist me in filing an Arkansas Protection Order properly, and submit it with the recorded phone messages, as well as the number of times on my phone record it will show this debt collector called me, which is illegal and harassment. He also wrote extremely fine and professional letters and mailed them to the hospital, the 3 major credit bureaus where he was able to have the collection removed due to a technicality after doing some serious investigating and checking that the debt had not been transferred to the collection agency properly and legally notarized, witnessed, and the dates, and signatures did not match up correctly! This took a tremendous weight off of my shoulders, and improved my credit score 93 points! As well as allowed me to not stress about gathering the money I owed the hospital. Now, not only because Mike is a close friend of mine, and was during college, he is the most decent, respectful, and helpful individual I have ever met in my entire life (of anyone at all, not just lawyers.) I offered Mike an undisclosed amount of money for his work that he stated took him about 9 hours to complete, and he would not accept my money, despite the fact he had worked his tail off utilizing his accounting and lawyer skills. He just told me to promise him if anything ever happened to him that I could help with, he would let me know, and went on to say “this is what loyalty and friendship is all about, not trying to make an extra buck from someones mishaps and misfortunes.” Mike, also known on here as J. Michael Martin but goes by his middle name Mike, will go out of his way just to help others. I hope the best for his health and hope he gets to feeling better. Mike if you ever read this, I am glad I have your cell phone number and that we were able to talk for so long on the phone and catch up on things and our current lifestyles, and I am so sorry to hear about your recent loss. God bless you. - Emily

ATTORNEY J. MICHAEL MARTIN IS AMAZING! WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH HE HELPED ME WITH MY CASE. HE ALLOWED ME TO EARN ADDITIONAL MONEY AND FEES THAT I HAD ORIGINALLY NOT EVEN THOUGHT OF! HE IS TRULY AN EXCELLENT ATTORNEY AND I WISH I COULD USE HIM FOR ANYTHING I NEEDED ALTHOUGH HE IS NOT PRACTICING ...MUCH ANYMORE DUE TO HIS HEALTH, BUT MY FRIEND THAT KNOWS HIM EXPLAINED THE DETAILS OF THE CASE TO HIM AND HE WAS VERY ANGRY WITH HOW A RENTER COULD ACT LIKE A CONTRACT NEVER EXISTED AND TEAR MY RENTAL HOUSE UP SO BAD BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AN OLDER WOMAN. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO OBTAIN HIS NUMBER BUT HAD TO GIVE MY PHONE NUMBER FIRST TO HIM SO HE WOULD KNOW WHO WAS CALLING (MY GOODNESS IS IT HARD TO REACH HIM) I CALLED HIM AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS BUSY AND WOULD GET BACK TO ME LATER. LATER THAT DAY HE TOLD ME TO PROVIDE HIM WITH THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT, ANY STATEMENTS THE PEOPLE RENTING THE CONTRACT SAID OR PAID, OR ANY ACTIONS THEY TOOK. I TOLD HIM I WASN’T SURE IF I HAD THE CASHED CHECKS THAT THEY PAID WITH, AND HE TOLD ME TO LISTEN AND GET THEM TO HIM OR FIND ANOTHER LAWYER.VERY INTIMIDATING. I DID WHAT HE SAID, AND I HAD 3 OF THE CHECKS THE RENTER HAD PAID ME FROM THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FULL 12 MONTHS. HE ASKED IF I KNEW WHERE THE GUY WORKED AND I SAID YES. J. MICHAEL THEN ASKED ME FOR SOME PICTURES OF MY RENTAL HOUSE ADVERTISEMENT, SPECIFICALLY THE INTERIOR. I GAVE THEM TO HIM, HE THEN ASKED FOR MY KEYS AND SAID I COULD HAVE THEM IN A WEEK. I WAS WONDERING WHAT HE NEEDED MY KEYS FOR AND WHY SO LONG? I LEARNED IT WAS SO HE COULD HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGES TAKEN INSIDE OF THE HOUSE AS WELL AS A CRACKED WINDOW. WELL THE RENTER THOUGHT HE COULD NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS. HE DESTROYED MY HOUSE, AND EVEN THOUGHT HE COULD OUTSMART AN EXCELLENT ATTORNEY NAMED J. MICHAEL MARTIN AND HE WAS IN FOR A HUGE WAKE UP CALL. J. MICHAEL MADE THIS IMMATURE “TOUGH GUY” LOOK AND PROVE TO THE JUDGE THAT THIS KID HAD A HORRIBLE ATTITUDE, CAUGHT HIM IN 4 DIFFERENT LIES, AND NEEDED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS DURING THE COURT TRIAL AND EVEN AFTER, GETTING ME NEARLY $14,000 WHEN I EXPECTED MAYBE $7,500 AT THE MOST. HE IS SO ETHICAL, NICE, FRIENDLY, AND IS NOT THE TYPICAL LAWYER WHO WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING TO GET YOUR MONEY AND THEN LEAVE YOU HANGING OUT IN THE COLD. HE EXPLAINS EVERY POSSIBLE SCENARIO, GOOD AND BAD. AND EVEN THOUGH HES SUPER FRIENDLY TO HIS CLIENTS, HE KNOWS HOW TO GET HIS POINT ACROSS AND IS VERY INTIMIDATING WHEN HE NEEDS TO BE, ESPECIALLY IN COURT WHILE ASKING PEOPLE ASKING QUESTIONS. I AM THANKFUL I DID NOT HAVE TO GO AGAINST HIM! HE IS VERY SKILLED SINCE HE HAS DONE THIS FOR 30+ YEARS. I WISH HE WAS STILL HEALTHY AND HOPE HE STAYS WELL!
