Richard Harold Martin

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.

My wife was arrested for outstanding warrants that a different lawyer was paid to handle and apparently did not take care of them. Mr. Martin did everything that he said he would do, and she was released from police custody. He was efficient, reliable, and sympathetic to our situation. I would highly... recommend him, and if we get in another jam, would definitely not hesitate to contact him again. Excellent service is what I experienced.

I have used the Mr. Martin for 2 cases over the past year. In the most recent case, I was invloved in an auto accident (alleged DWI). He was able to get the charges reduced to class C misdemeanor and also keep it off my record. I ended up paying a small fine, around $250, and my driving record is sti...ll clean. As far as his services, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and proactive. He kept me informed every step of the way and answered all my questions througout the ordeal. I would highly recommend Mr. Martin and his legal expertise.

I wont come out and call him one but when someone takes your money for a service they are to provide and then do not provide that service what do you call them? One word that comes to mind starts with a T and I dont mean terrific. Another starts with C and I dont mean commendable. Another starts with... D and I dont mean dynamic. He got my tickets moved to Dallas county. One was dismissed, another went to trial and I was given a fine and the opnly way I found out I had a fine to pay was because I sent him a message and got lucky that he even took time to respond to it claiming it was all Dallas County's fault. That's the thing with him. All excuses..Always someone else's fault. He offered to pay the fine for me with the court if I payPaled him the money, oh plus his fee for doing so and a 3.5% fee that PayPal charges. So far, fine has still not been paid and the few times he has responded to me have been excuses and apparent lies. I havent heard as many excuses and lies since I was married to my ex wife. Lost phone, email not set up correctly, windbag prosecutors keeping him from getting to Crowely to pay. The other ticket? According to the court he never did anything with that one. It's sat there for a year with no activity. So, I am riding around unknowingly having two warrants because he either cant or wont do what he was paid to do. So, I'll have to go pay the stupid $300+ fine myself, hire a new lawyer for the other ticket and I suppose kiss the $300+ I paid him for his graceousness to go pay my fine, goodbye. I certainly hope he has enjoyed that $300+ I apparently gifted him because he sure as heck hasnt lived up to what he claimed would do. I can promise him one thing, I will not go quietly, I'll get something for that money, he can rest assured of that. There is a questions, "What kind of cases does this attorney handle?" Apparently none, because he is either too incompetent or lazy to to do anything.
