Richard Harold Martin

I contracted this attorney for two speeding tickets. He actually showed up for one of them, but did no more than what I could have done. However, he was a no show for the second and I didn't find out until I was stopped by City of Fort Worth not because I did anything wrong, but because I was fill...ing up with gas and they pulled in the parking log and their "360 Plate Scan" showed that I had warrants associated with my license plate. Thankfully they were kind enough to not take me to jail, tow my car and send my dog to animal control. I contacted him and he responded right back and said that he would look into it. That's been almost two months ago and I guess he's still looking into it and lost his phone while he was looking. I'm currently unemployed and finding a job has been a challenge, especially since I didn't know that I had warrants out for my arrest. Therefore, I don't have the money to pay the full fine with additional the warrant charges because I have no job and I can't get a job, because I have outstanding warrants that pop up on a background check. My last resort to clear the warrants so that I can get a job is to sit the tickets out in JAIL!!! Even after making him aware of that I am going to sit these tickets out in jail, STILL no response from my boy Richie.

I was very skeptical of using Mr. Martin's services after reading the reviews online. I told him my worries and he quickly and professionally jumped at the opportunity to prove his negative reviews wrong. We are still working with Mr. Martin on my husband's traffic tickets and warrants and he is STIL...L doing an exceptional job. He communicates with you promptly and lets you know exactly what is going on with your case. I do not know what really happened to cause such negative feedback thus far, but in my opinion these reviews do not sound like the same man I hired. It would do you well to use Richard Martin as an attorney, he has competitive rates and knows what he is doing. It took him less than 2 hours to clear my husband's 4 outstanding warrants.

I had him handle 3 citations. 1 was handled, 1 the officer showed up at my door to arrest me and the third ended up in a warrant. he doesn't get back to you and never addresses the citations. after the lewisville officer showed up at my door, Richard said he would handle it and my next ticket would b...e on the house. i luckily received my third a few weeks later. nothing was on the house and he just got me deffered. he is terrible. i wasnt going to write this but ran into a friend last night that had the same type of story about Richard! THE WORST!! DO NOT HIRE!! believe me

I received two traffic citations and retained Richard H. Martin to represent me. A court date was set in Kaufman County JP#2. He never notified me of my court date and he was a "no show" at the hearing. I sent him an e-mail asking what the disposition was and he never responded. Subsequently, Ka...ufman County issued three warrants for my arrest (one each for the citations and an additional warrant for Failure to Appear) and I was arrested on a traffic stop in Highland Park. After my arrest, I called him and he finally responded and said that he had recently found my e-mails asking about my case while he was going through old e-mails. After I told him I had been arrested due to his negligence, he said he had not done anything wrong and it was the court's fault and refused to give my retainer fee back.

Richard Harold Martin is an unprofessional lawyer. He never send in my papers for the case. I have asked the people at the Court House about it, but they said they did not receive the papers. I then asked him again about this, after I asked for my money back. He said he gave in the papers to the Cour...t House. But I was at the Court House the same day he said that. He replied to my first message very quickly, though after I sent him the money and contract, he never contacted me back again, until I ask my money back. When I went to his office, the receptionist at his floor said he was away at the court. But she did not know when he'll be back or any other information. With other people who found this lawyer and got scammed. I seriously regret other people to go to him for a traffic ticket or any other reason. Truly I don't understand how he gets good reviews from some people. My scenario was identical with people who gave him poor rate, go to www.yelp.com or www.yellowpages.com to read other reviews. Person can't be changed from one case to another with simple thing as responsibility - it's very unprofessional.
