Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Martin and his paralegal Mrs. Rhoda were helpful and worked well with us. They explained things as they were going along. They also had patience with us and were quick to get back to us when we would ask them questions. They got a good deal worked out for our son, which was a huge relief for us.... We appreciate all that yall did for our family and we would like to just say "Thank You".

Exceptional Lawyer

T.D Martin and his team provided exceptional services for my son. From the initial consultation to the final outcome, Mr. Martin and his team demonstrated great professionalism and expertise. Mr. Matin's team was always available to answer my questions and kept us informed throughout the entire p...rocess. They explained things in a way that was easy to understand, which made us feel confident and at ease. Thanks to T.D. Martin and his team's hard work and dedication, I don't think we could've come out with a better outcome, as our son was facing some serious potential charges, and which could've led to some serious time. In the end everything was dropped, and he did not have to go to court. I highly recommend T.D. Martin to anyone in need of legal assistance. Him and team showed great compassion and were very professional.

5 stars

Mr Taylor gets a top 5 star rating from me. The crime I was accused of was false but difficult to prove and Mr Taylor was very knowledgeable on how to deal with situations like mine. I put my trust in him and he did not fail me. I was not convinced of a crime and I am very grateful for his knowle...dge and diligence in winning my case. Highly recommended!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jun 03

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"As a former public defender, I had the opportunity to work with Taylor Martin on an almost daily basis. He is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who does not back away from a fight. If there is a legal argument to be won, he will absolutely not let it go, fighting diligently until the judge makes a decision. An incredible benefit with Taylor Martin is his experience with the Prosecutor's Office for several years. His insight into the inner workings of that office will no doubt be invaluable. He has a good working relationship with the deputy prosecutors, and is respected and well-liked by the judges with whom he works. His experience handling cases from both sides coupled with both his tenacity and his compassion makes him an absolutely fantastic choice for anyone in need of a defense attorney."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Taylor Martin for several years, and I have worked opposite him on a number of different types of criminal cases. He was a deputy prosecutor for the 20th Judicial District, and has a lot of experience on the other side of the aisle. It is my understanding that Taylor recently opened a solo criminal law practice in Conway, and will be handling criminal defense matters all over central Arkansas for clients lucky enough to hire him. The prosecutor's office's loss is the public's gain - Taylor will be a valued member of the criminal defense bar, and will do a good job for his clients. I endorse him as a criminal defense lawyer."
