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.

Happily Ever After!

My husband and I and some relationship issues and struggles and is put a strain on our marriage and CPS got called. It was the most horrible experience I have ever been through. The first thing I did was call Marci and she helped walk me through what to expect and what I should be doing and not be ...doing when it came to my case. CPS has a history of dragging their feet and not really doing what they say and Marci stayed on top of them and fought for my rights and helped me get my little one back and now I am sitting here with my daughter and my husband by my side. If you are looking for good representation .....look no further!

I would choose her again and again!

I was very nervous to start the proceedings regarding child custody. I had thousands of questions and Marci was extremely patient and answered everything thoroughly, sometimes multiple times. She was there with me every step of the way and I truly felt that she cared about my family and me and helped... me to make the best decisions for all of us. Her knowledge of the Denton County legal system is invaluable.

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.

A TRUE GEM!

Marci has been our attorney for the past 4 years and I will always be grateful for the work she put in for our family. She has fought for us in a child custody matter and was able to get us the results we were looking for. These matters can be extremely hard and trying times, and Marci not only gave ...us great legal advice but she was always there as a "shoulder to cry on". Over these past 4 years she walked by our side through the good, the bad, and the ugly, and together we made it out with positive results. I happily view her as more than our attorney... She became our friend and that's extremely valuable to me. Excellent attorney and a true gem!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
