Review Marci Martinez

Difficult Divorce

Posted by

Marci was recommended to me by a friend. Marci and her entire staff didn't disappoint. They were thorough and reassuring in my tumultuous divorce case. When my ex started playing dirty and causing additional heartache for myself and the children, she was able to shut it down. I wouldn't hesitate to use her and the rest of the office in the future.

Professional Amazing Attorney

Posted by

Marci, Was the best decision I ever made in choosing her to represent me in my custody battle. I knew from the moment I met her that she was the one I wanted by my side. She is diligent professional and understanding. Her staff is just as wonderful as she is. In a time where I was very stressed Marci and her team made it a little less stressful with how kind and understanding they were through out the process. I will always recommend Marci and her team to anyone needing her services in the future. I will always be great full to her for all her help during this stressful time. Thank you Marci! Erika

Team Excellence!

Posted by

Hiring Marci for my child custody case was the best decision I made! As I walked out of her office after my consultation meeting, there was an overwhelming peace that enveloped me. I knew I had the right attorney. Marci was very professional, honest, kind and very confident. She and her team made a very stressful situation seem easy. She walked me through every step of the way, returned calls/emails promptly and kept me well informed about the process. She went over, above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I got what I deserved in a cost-effective way. Her team exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. For all your family case needs, please call MARCI! You will not be disappointed.

Help with change of custody.

Posted by

I was needing a family law attorney to help me with a change of custody for my teenaged daughter. Marcy was recommended to me by a good friend. I felt comfortable with her and her staff right away. Marci really heard me and was very understanding to my plight to get a change of custody. She guided me all along the way, and we won our case. I am very thankful to Marci, Bonnie, Minerva, and her entire legal time.

2nd Case with Marci - excellent results again!

Posted by

Once again Marci stepped up to help me protect my great-grandchildren from CPS and get them returned to the custody of their parents. I would and have recommended Marci to anyone dealing with CPS or any type of custody case!

Very satisfied client; great law firm.

Marci and her staff are all genuinely great at what they do. Divorce is stressful but Marci put me at ease from the very first consultation. No matter the challenge I always felt confident in her ability to navigate through the process. I would highly recommend this law firm.

Very Satisfied Client

Posted by

Marci is amazing at what she does. Our case was super difficult with A LOT of moving pieces. We were previously with another Attorney, and felt like we were getting nowhere with our case. We were able to locate Marci and despite of Covid 19 hitting us out of the blue we resolved our situation in less time than when Covid was not a factor in the case with prior attorney. My husband and I are very pleased with the service provided by Marci, Minerva, and Richard. They make an amazing team and respond to their clients as soon as possible, kept us in the loop with every step and continued to provide us with what was the best for our children and situation. God has blessed us with putting Marci and her team in out path and we are extremely grateful!!

Excellent team

Posted by

Marci and her team were very helpful in getting my case completed in a timely manner. I had another provider working on my case and it just wasn't coming together. Marci was able to quickly assess what was needed to finish up my case and communicated with me every step of the way! I would highly recommend her and her team!

Happily Ever After!

Posted by

My husband and I and some relationship issues and struggles and is put a strain on our marriage and CPS got called. It was the most horrible experience I have ever been through. The first thing I did was call Marci and she helped walk me through what to expect and what I should be doing and not be doing when it came to my case. CPS has a history of dragging their feet and not really doing what they say and Marci stayed on top of them and fought for my rights and helped me get my little one back and now I am sitting here with my daughter and my husband by my side. If you are looking for good representation .....look no further!

Child custody

Posted by

I will recommend Marci to anyone who’s is going thru custody battle. I was very stressed looking for a lawyer and every single lawyer I would consult with would make me feel like I had a case that was too hard to resolve. Marci was always upfront and honest. Marci worked hard on my case. Everything was resolved in mediation didn’t even had to go to court. I’m very thankful!

I endorse this lawyer. Marci has a great temperament and vigorously defends her clients. She is intelligent and well-versed in family law. We have worked together on Denton County's National Adoption Day and she was stellar! Without Marci's help and hard work, the event would not have been as successful! You cannot go wrong with hiring Marci to help you with your family law case.
