Refrain from his consultant

If I could give no stars I would not. I recently hired Herman Martinez to represent a family member of mine, and unfortunately, he fell short of expectations. He took a large upfront payment for the elderly and did very little to help. He failed to provide proper advice, present evidence, or ensure... justice in court. He also failed to make suitable plea offers for both parties. Most importantly, he failed to inform his client of their rights. This man is a stark contrast to what a lawyer should be. I strongly advise against trusting him. However, I did notice that he did advise his client of their rights, which is a positive step. Nevertheless, his actions have highlighted the importance of proper representation and the unfair biases that can arise when someone disregards another’s life. Save your self or family the trouble, refrain from using his legal service.

DON'T GET THIS LAWYER!!

I hired mr. Matinez on a case that I had for a dwi 3 felony. From the beginning I knew something was wrong. He didn't talk to me. Didn't ask me about myself nor about the case. Always on the run. I have had a couple of lawyer in the past and saw good reviews on mr. Martinez so I hired him. But this ...guy is trash just want your money and go. He gave me a deal and I sign but didn't try to do anything for me. Gave me the minimum sentence. That any court appointment lawyer can give you. In fact, I had to do jail time and I talk to other inmates when I was there. one of them had the same case of me 3rd dwi and had a court appointed lawyer and he was getting it drop to a misdemeanor. Another guy has this 4th and got it 3 years probation. This guy try to make me sign for 10 year probation on my first felony. NO PLEASE IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR LIFE DON'T TRUST IT WITH THIS GUY!!

I DO NOT THINK YOU WERE A CLIENT OF MINE! First, I am deeply disappointed that you feel that this way about your lawyer but this does not represent the work that I do. I have an open door policy for all my clients. We routinely schedule multiple appointments for clients at no additional charge. In fact, my clients receive my personal cell phone upon hiring me. Moreover, we ask all of our clients to provide a timeline of the events. Second, we have a portal system that allows clients to see all their evidence and communicate with me and my law firm remotely. Third, we respect the decisions our clients make, but I would have discussed any concerns you had beforehand. I would appreciate if you would call me to discuss what occurred because the spelling of my name, your version of events and lack of communication strongly suggest that you did not hire me. If you choose not to contact me I wish the best for you! While it is difficult to respond to an anonymous post like yours I will try to clear up some things for the public. As I clearly state to anyone that contacts me, a person that is convicted of a DWI 3rd Offender is REQUIRED BY LAW to do 10 days in jail even if I get probation for them. A person charged with a 3rd DWI is facing 2-10 years in prison. While the post states that they received the minimum PROBATION sentence it seems like they wanted a misdemeanor conviction that would require more than the 10 days in jail, that the probation requires. It is very difficult to get a 3rd DWI reduced to a misdemeanor. Also, every case is unique, but it is common knowledge that those in jail tend to misrepresent to their fellow inmates what they actually received. I will continue to be an advocate for anyone I represent while being honest and forthright concerning their specific situation.

Great Attorney!

Mr. Martinez was very nice and respectful while I was a client. He and his staff were very responsive via text and client portal. I would highly recommend him.

Thank you Christina! You were a delight to work with during the two years your case was pending. Your cooperation, patience and attentiveness was appreciated. You earned your dismissal!.

Great Lawyer

Herman, was very professional from day one. He made the process extremely with his preciseness. He gave great advice and answered all the questions I had for me. He was early to every court date. Would highly recommend.
