Educated. Powerful and Committed.

I have known this skilled Attorney for many years as a neighbor and friend. Tom supported us in a contrived attack upon our company's professional reputation. He is steeped in the spirit of our Constitutional powers to defend those accused. A powerful ally in difficult times. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND t...his Great Attorney ! Tom is a graduate of CORNELL UNIVERSITY and THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

Sent By God

There are only a few people in the world who care. Most choose to ignore the truth, have selective hearing, or do not want to be bothered. There is a christian lawyer in Houston named Thomas A Martin. Tom is a passionate pursuer of truth and justice. Our son was falsely accused of a crime and jai...led in Harris County in 2020. Our son was on parole because of an aggravated conviction as a teen. Therefore he was probably facing a life sentence. He received a letter from Mr Martin stating I believe you are an innocent man and I want to prove it. This letter raised our hopes. We believed Tom Martin was the man that God would use to free our son. The trial was held in September 2023. Our son was found not guilty. Tom challenged every lie that was told. Every trick or trap that was used by the states attorneys were exposed. If you have an impossible situation, Tom Martin is the man God will send.

Knight in shining armor.

I've been dealing with my case since 2020, agg assault with a deadly weapon. Thom Gracefully yet patiently guided me through COVID pandemic until now 2023. I was facing 20 yrs, Thom confidently assured me victory and today I stand witness a free man to enjoy my life comfortably with my daughter. Tha...nk you so much Mr. Martin . Wouldn't have done it without you. Bravo sir.

Very professional and helpful.

Thomas Martin was an excellent attorney. He helped with a family members criminal case. He answered our questions with honesty and obtained a result that was best for our family member. Our legal system is difficult and many times unfair. A system that is not always about the truth but about winning...u/conviction…Tom Martin helped us through this complex judicial system. I would recommend him as excellent attorney.
