Jennifer Joy Schultz

Going through a divorce is never easy, and like many, I found myself in need of an attorney without much knowledge of where to begin. A friend recommended Marci Martinez Legal, and I ultimately worked with Jennifer Schultz, who was the lead on my case. While some aspects of my divorce were relativ...ely straightforward, others were deeply complex. Jennifer took the time to meet with me personally at multiple key points throughout the process, ensuring I understood my options and felt supported. She and her team, particularly Stephanie, were highly responsive, even during off-hours or while on vacation, which meant a great deal during such a turbulent time. One aspect of Jennifer’s work that I am eternally grateful for was her help in recovering heritage jewelry that I had gifted my ex-wife during our engagement and marriage. These antique, pure gold pieces had been passed down in my family for over four generations. Under Texas law, as gifts, there was no legal recourse for me to reclaim them. Yet, through Jennifer’s exceptional legal strategy and negotiation skills, she secured special provisions in the divorce decree that allowed the jewelry to be returned. Divorce is a messy and painful process, and often, the goal is simply to achieve the best possible outcome in a difficult situation. While no divorce ever feels like a “win,” I genuinely believe I had the best resolution I could have hoped for, given the complexity and emotional weight of my case. Jennifer was not only an incredibly competent and strategic attorney, but also a warm and sincere person who showed me compassion and grace throughout the entire process. Thank you, Jennifer and the team at Marci Martinez Legal, for guiding me through this challenging chapter. My family and I are truly grateful for your dedication, skill, and support during such a difficult time.

Dear Jennifer and the Martinez Legal Team, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done. While mediation did not prove to be ideal, you helped ensure that my youngest son will be able to continue the one activity he is enthusiastic about and that I didn't get stuck with my ex-wife's... debt. It brings a lot of solace that my youngest son does have financial support to pursue his karate passion throughout his childhood if he desires to do so. While I wish she would have wanted to support our son's interest simply because it is his interest instead of using it as a bargaining tool, we got close to what she owed me in a way that protects my son and an activity that brings him joy and increased self-confidence, which is far more important to me. You also helped me understand what was and was not worth fighting based off of what our judge would likely rule. This helped me accept the situation and allowed us to reach an agreement and not drag on the divorce process another three months. I am sure no divorce process is ever easy. I also know that family law attorneys (or attorneys in general) don't have the best reputation, but you are the type of person who should be doing what you are doing and should not be lumped in with the negative opinion of lawyers. From what I have seen you are in this profession for the right reasons and you look to do what is right within the confines of the laws and the judged you work with.  Thank you for everything! I wish you all the best.

I can't say enough about this woman's knowledge, integrity, spirit and heart. Ms. Jennifer was amazing from start to finish. She empathized with me, comforted me and took care of business. This woman knows what she is doing and does it with finesse. Going through a divorce is never easy however..., Jennifer and the Martinez Law firm truly simplified the process and held my hand every step of the way. I knew that I had a phenomenal team in my corner that cares and gets the job done! You are in great company with Martinez Legal and make sure you ask for my girl Jennifer! SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!
