Great Attorney
Mr Martinez was very professional in the way that he handled our case, always kept us informed of what was going on and what we needed to do. If I happen to need another lawyer again he will be the first one I will call, I would recommend him anytime to any one. Very sharp very smart young man.
Javier Osvaldo Martinez's Lawyer Endorsements
"Javier Martinez is one of the best attorneys I know. He was a mentor of mine during law school, and I've watched him evolve into a great advocate over the years. I know he takes his job seriously, and he's been doing great things in Harris County. Many lawyers take the easy way out and convince their clients to plead guilty -- that's not the case with Javier. He's a true fighter, and he will do his very best to get a positive result for his clients."
"I give Mr. Martinez my highest recommendation. I know him personally and professionally he has always displayed himself as someone with high ethics and a strong sense of the law. I have met with clients on the immigration side of things after Mr. Martinez has assisted them in their criminal matters and they have always been thrilled with their outcome and his work. I have referred clients to Mr. Martinez whom he has successfully helped as well. I would recommend Javier Martinez without reservation for any criminal defense, federal crime, and appellate matter."
"Javier has always impressed me with his work ethic, knowledge of the law and results in the courtroom. Javier's record speaks for itself. He is a true professional and zealous advocate for his clients."
"Javier works harder on his cases than anyone you will find. He pays attention to detail and is innovative in his approach to solving legal issues. I could not recommend him more as a federal and state criminal defense attorney."
