Surprised

Martinez Legal’s expertise and commitment to my case made me feel secure and confident during a time when much was at stake. At the beginning of my custody suit, I felt overwhelmed and highly concerned about what lay ahead. Her team recognized my apprehensions and put them to rest by answering all my... questions anytime they arose. They all kept me informed of all developments in my suit and provided the necessary direction for building an amicable, mutually beneficial custody agreement. The team was super responsive and quick always to ensure I understood the process. They kept communication flowing even during slow periods where I was waiting on timelines and paperwork. I also felt they truly cared about my situation and advised me on what was best not just financially, but also emotionally. Marci was my main lawyer, but her entire team would be my point of contacts. Bonnie and Minerva were exceptionally detailed in understanding my case and even checked on me as the case took some turns. I would highly recommend Martinez Legal for any Family law issue.

Above and Beyond

Marci and Stephanie have been so good to me. I have had many bad experiences with lawyers. I live in Houston,TX They have explained documents and submission paperwork, trial, etc. I have no experience in dealing with the law. They were able to keep me out of trial, jail, they completed all paperwork ...in time and even hustled to submit some last minute agreements. She is very intelligent, was able to see the most small detail in wording. I am very satisfied with the hard work her law office did for me.

Very Satisfied Client

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

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 reco...mmend her and her team!

Posted by Richard | February 01, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Adoption

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!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
