Great work with zero stress !

Marci and her team were wonderful to work with! They kept me in the loop and did a great job relieving alot of stress I had. Everything went great and I will always be thankful for what they did for my family!

Great Attorney & Amazing Team

Marci and her team worked on my divorce case that extended far longer than anticipated, mostly due to delays from the opposing side. Throughout the process, she remained consistently diligent – following up with opposing counsel, keeping me informed, and maintaining a steady, professional presence. O...ne thing I especially appreciated was how she, along with the rest of her team, took the time to explain legal terms and procedures in a way that made sense. It helped me feel more confident and less overwhelmed by the complexity of the case. Stephanie, her paralegal, was also incredibly responsive and helpful, which made communication smoother and more efficient. While the case itself was frustrating at times, I always felt supported and well-represented. I’d recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable, communicative attorney who stays on top of the details and makes sure you understand what’s happening.

Best attorney ever.

Minerva and Marci were more than amazing. Words can't describe how this legal battle was without cursing but the Harry Potter saga fell short compared to this one to have an idea. Again thanks so very much.

Marci Martinez

Marci and her team walked me through this difficult divorce with such care and compassion. They were there for me every step of the way, although I’m glad the divorce is over and I could not be happier I will miss seeing their kind and beautiful faces!

Conservatorship/Possession of two separate children

My wife and I interviewed several attorneys to represent us in a matter of conservatorship for our two granddaughters. Since both girls had different fathers, the cases were separate with each posing unique challenges. Once we met with Marci Martinez, the decision of who would represent was immediate...ly made. From the beginning, she was courteous, professional, and meticulous. She sought out all the necessary details to ensure she had a proper understanding and an effective strategy. Even with only a few days to prepare for an upcoming hearing, Marci and her team (Stephanie Elvington, Jennifer Schultz, Bonnie Sattawhite) worked diligently to represent us. Ultimately, we were able to reach an agreement thanks to the hard work and additional effort put forth by Marci and her team. They really went the extra mile. With the second case, Marci and team sweated the details, kept us informed, provided us with sound counsel, and sought our input to ensure we felt part of the process and to ensure a satisfactory solution. This case went to court, and this is where Marci showed her skills and level of comfort; she was so sharp. In the outcome, we got everything we wanted. We highly recommend Martinez Legal. Generally speaking, family law matters can be very complicated and this complexity, with the back and forth between parties and court appearances, can be quite expensive. Don’t waste your time and money on someone whose inexperience may cause things to take longer. Legal battles that go on and on can take a huge toll on you mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially; and you still may not obtain a favorable outcome. We appreciate the opportunity to write this review in hopes that it will help someone else, facing a situation similar to ours, make the right decision when it comes to selecting representation. That decision alone is the first step to a solution and the moment Marci and her team will take ownership. The immediate return will be the peace of mind knowing you have an experienced and qualified team on your side and working hard to resolve your issue. Don’t wait; book the consultation today.
