Honest, hardworking and knowledgeable

I hired Denise Martinez as my attorney for Court order/child support after a friend recommended her since he had a favorable outcome with his court order. First off, she and her staff is professional and respectful during this challenging period of your life. She has decades of experience, but is sti...ll relevant. She doesn't get rattled, maintains composure and doesn't back down. She is also resilient and well respected. Just ask around. In my case, we were able to get almost everything we were asking for. We increased time with my daughter while also decreasing child support. All without having to go through a nasty trial. With Denise at my side, we were able to negotiate a situation that worked out for everyone involved. This being said, if you are new to litigation be patient. Things will not happen overnight. It took approx. a year and a half but we are satisfied with the outcome. In comparison, I had previously hired a different "high rated" attorney a couple of years prior and didn't get too much resolved, not to mention paying way more than I did with Denise. That lawyer was more consistent in sending me invoices to pay her than sending me correspondence about my case. It would take over a week or two to get responses from that attorney. This was mentioned, to show contrast in what I experienced with Denise. I actually had to ask Denise for an invoice for me to pay her. That should speak abundantly to anyone reading this. It tells me she is more concerned with your case than seeing you as a dollar sign. Her turn around with phone calls to her office has been usually within 24-48 hrs. All this being said, if I had to do it all over again I would choose Denise. If you do choose her, you will not be disappointed!

Divorce/Child Support

I was referred to Mrs. Martinez by a friend and I could not have been happier with my choice. Unfortunately, I had to prolong the process and she was very patient and professional. She explained everything along the way and did not once fail to return a phone call or email throughout. Thank you De...nise!

Denise and her team were amazing!

Denise was highly recommended to us by our best friend. Right from the start her team was very helpful and helped us understand our case - we were adopting our 3 year old nephew who at the time was considered a ward of the state of TX. We spoke over the phone and she was so knowledgeable, and in co...urt on the day of the adoption, she was so well known and respected by her peers and by the judge. I highly recommend her office, they keep in contact with you and always reply to your calls and/or emails. Thank you Denise!!

Divorce

Denise Martinez was hired to assist me in a divorce case. Denise provided professional and courteous customer service. Mr. Medina, paralegal, assisted me with documents and was always available to answer questions. I wish him well in law school.

Caring, Professional, and Highly-Qualified

Denise is an outstanding attorney, and I would refer her with great confidence to anyone needing help in family law .... The cases she has assisted my family with have been very complex, bitterly contested, and in need of great care - especially relating to issues around my children ... Denise provid...ed genuine care and interest in me and my family, excellent legal guidance and counsel, and kept me informed of all of my options including the ones she didn't think would be wise - which allowed me to make the most informed decisions possible ...

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.
