Denise Martinez

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!!

Last year I went to Denise Martinez for advice on child support and visitation rights. Denise was very informative and helpful with my concerns. After my free consultation I chose to hire her, and within two weeks my child support case was settled. Denise answered all of my questions and then some, ...I'm still able to contact her via email with a quick response. I highly recommend Denise Martinez, she took all of my worries away and if I needed to hire her again I would.

Now that Denise and Neftali catered to the father entirely, I have my son MORE OF THE TIME, am NOT RECEIVING CHILD SUPPORT, and the father MISSES HIS SCHEDULED DATES TO HAVE WITH HIS SON. Lemme explain… I had a medical separation from the AF. Anyone who has been through the process knows it takes ...6 months to complete and the entire 6 months you don’t know if you are going to be separated or not. I told the father this information and that I’d be moving back home with our son. When the process was over and I was given 10 days to wait for my separation paperwork I told the father that it was official and I’d be leaving with my son to go home. Neftali R calls me and accuses me of never telling the father that I was leaving. It turns out the father once again lied to his lawyer about what was actually happening and the Neftali R once again fed into it. In reality I had been pushing the father through txt to finish the child custody process for awhile because he was dragging his feet. If I wanted to leave without telling anyone I would have. I also confronted the father and he admitted over txt it was a lie. Neftali had no regard to what I was saying and catered to the father 100%. I had good intentions but the father was able to get over on these lawyers (Neftali and Denise) with whatever lie he could conjure up. Not only did they accuse me for something that never happened, Denise wanted me to give up my benefits with the VA so that the father could have benefits. The father only has our child for the fraction of the time and will get benefits from the military. I am retired why is it not appropriate for me to have the simple benefits for myself and my son? Denise and Neftali got everything completely wrong. Treated my situation like the father was the victim the entire time. In reality the father was absent for the first year of our sons life. Didn’t keep up on our sons hygiene, left our son with random people, and wasn’t feeding him at decent hours. Neftali after hearing this said “he is a good father”. Fathers just have to be present to be great they don’t have to actively care for their child. IF YOU ARE MILITARY…DO NOT GO HERE. They don’t understand military process. They are not professional and take advantage of younger clients. They don’t listen to what you have to say and do whatever they please regardless of what you want or need. THEY VALUE THE FATHER MORE THAN THE MOTHER… regardless of the involvement or care that the father exhibits with the child. I regret going with these lawyers Neftali and Denise. I am worse off now that I have this agreement and I am not getting the support I need for my child.
