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.

Professional Amazing Attorney

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 Marc...i 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
