Termination of Parental Rights and a Joyful Adoption

My wife and I were referred to Martinez Legal about a year ago. I wanted to adopt my wife's children and have them as my own. There were several steps that could have been complicated, but Marci and her team lead us the entire way with not only professional, prompt and sound legal advice, but also ...with compassion. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and we just celebrated the completion of the adoption last week, and thanks to Marci and her team, I am now Daddy to 2 more beautiful little children. Everything went exactly as we were told upfront. There were absolutely no surprises. The entire process was seamless. I recommend Martinez Law and I am full of gratitude for all that they have done for my family.

Through yet moves the case along

We had an atypical stepchild adoption. The complications were that she was from a foreign country, plus her natural father wanted nothing to do with her and was himself difficult to locate. The international characteristic of this, even though it was a domestic adoption, got us a lot of passes from s...ome of the larger and more advertised family law firms. Frustrated, I sent out a blanket email to all family law attorneys in my area that I could find. Ms. Martinez responded and was willing to make this happen for us. She pressed this through and gave me ample notice of what I needed to have done before it was required. If I had another stepchild to adopt, I would certainly engage her for a repeat performance!

Child custody and child support modification

I went to several lawyers and spoke to several people regarding my upcoming case which was child custody dispute and child modification motion at the time. When I came to Marci’s office and sat down with her, she was attentive to me and I had 100% of her attention while I explained my situation. She... was warm, caring, compassionate and fully understood the pressure my family was in under these circumstances. She explained what she could do for us and when I walked out of her office I knew she was the one to represent us. Marci and her staff are skilled, compassionate, knowledgeable in their field. Marci fought our case diligently and was always keeping me informed step by step. She answered my calls and emails promptly. Marci and her team represented my family well she fought to ensure the kids stayed with me and was successful. Marci was able to obtain all I asked for and more. I could not have picked a better attorney to represent us! She made the process smooth and as least stressful as possible under the circumstances. I know that if I was ever in need for her services I would choose Marci and her staff to represent us again. Thank you Marci and her team for understanding your clients in such sensitive matters and making us feel at ease in such a turmoil time. May God bless you for the work you do.

Excellent Attorney

Marci and her team were available for me and a multitude of questions that I had through out the life span of my case. The case ended up as planned and I could not be happier.

Best experience

I was freaking out when I first decided to seek representation for my child custody case, I talked to so many lawyers who seemed like they were only interested in pulling in consultation money before giving you any kind of confidence in who they were or what they can do. I was never confident in spea...king with any of those lawyers, and then there was Marci. She came referred by a family member and from the first time I spoke to Marci about my custody case she responded with a direct plan of action and sounded confident which made me feel confident and I definitely needed that at the time. She was always willing to explain things a little better and what to expect moving forward. She was able to get my kids ordered back to Texas and secured with a geographical restriction and for that I will always be thankful and she will always be my go to when I need someone to fight on my behalf.
