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.

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!

My husband and I were referred to Marci by a different attorney at the start of 2018. She came highly recommend and we were very happy with her professionalism and knowledge in navigating a step parent adoption. She has great communication skills and would work with us to explain the intricate legal ...process. She made sure we were comfortable and understood what was going on at all times. In total it took us about 6-7 months to go through the entire process. At times it felt like there were so many different parties (biological parent, case study worker, and the ad litem) involved but Marci did a wonderful job of being proactive and making sure everyone was staying on top of their different roles in the adoption so we could get it completed in a timely manner.
