I would trust Jacob and his team with my life!
Jacob and his team defended my sister tooth and nail, all the while carrying themselves with world-class professionalism, courtesy, and respect. Thank you All! This case involved a car accident resulting in a serious bodily injury; the prosecution attempted to blame my sister as the sole cause of the accident. She was driving home from work and hit a driver making a left-hand turn directly in front of her path--she could not avoid the collision. The charges against her were extreme and had mandatory prison sentences. Jacob and his team defended her and treated our family as if we were their own. We cannot express our gratitude and respect we have for Jacob and his team: Brett & Julie. You have given our family hope and an appreciation for the tireless work that you do everyday. I will ONLY recommend Jacob and his team to everyone I know! Thank you for saving my sister from a terrible and unjust fate!

JACOB MARTINEZ LAW OFFICE
Jacob did a fantastic job with my grandsons case. A life sentence that turned into 1/3 the time. I can also say that any recommendations Jacob has for using anyone in his office is great. Thank you all so much for the wonderful job.

Jacob was simply incredible. I was in unfamiliar territory when needing to hire an attorney and Jacob was recommended to me. A situation that could have been incredibly expensive, unjust, and damaging turned into the best case scenario possible. Jacob got my case dismissed with incredible speed and tact while keeping my costs at the minimum. He truly turned a dismal situation into one I can't thank him enough for. I would highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for an attorney.

Would highly recommend Jacob to friends and family
If you are looking for an attorney that will go above and beyond for his clients look no further. Jacob is a true professional that will fight tooth and nail to make sure you are in the best possible position you can be in. I hired Jacob roughly a month ago and through his hard work and dedication to his craft he got my case dropped today. I can not thank him enough for everything he did. Jacob is reasonably priced and you absolutely get every penny you pay for. Hopefully I will not need his services in the future but if I did, I wouldn't trust anyone else.

Jefferson County Speeding/DWAI Completely Dismissed!
(Note: to protect my privacy, I am posting this review under an account which doesn't reveal my real name)
I retained Jacob's services after being charged with speeding and a DWAI in Jefferson County. While I was searching for an attorney to represent me, I interviewed about 10 firms, but ended up going with Jacob because he was the only one who gave me a no nonsense perspective on my case, looked up which judge was assigned to my case right away (the other attorneys all said that we wouldn't find out until later), and offered a fee structure that was tailored to my case, instead of the cookie-cutter "flat fee".
Jacob was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process, and his fees were more than fair. I was always able to get a hold of him when I needed to, and he fully embraces the "paperless office", meaning that he's very good about keeping full digital records that are easily shared and collaborated on.
For my particular case, Jacob wrote a motion to suppress the BAC breath test based on lack of probable cause for the roadside arrest, and the judge sustained it, which caused the prosecution to drop the DWAI charge. Because we wanted to seal the record on the case (which requires all charges to be dismissed/acquitted) and still had the speeding charge to deal with, we prepared for trial, and ended up getting that charge dismissed as well.
Now that all charges were dismissed in their entirety, Jacob filed the necessary paperwork to get the record sealed, which was granted as well.
Overall, this was the best possible outcome anybody could have hoped for, and I wouldn't hesitate to retain Jacob's services again in the future. If you're looking for a smart, honest and effective criminal defense lawyer in the Denver area, I strongly suggest that you give Jacob a call.

Very rare to find legal representation with dedication like his.
When we first started looking for "a lawyer", We came across Jacob Martinez. He taught us the difference between "a lawyer" and true legal representation. He was very clear and honest about the advice he gave and made it easy to trust in his judgement. He and his entire staff made us feel comfortable knowing no matter what, they would represent our case with integrity as if they were representing a case that was very close to them. He is a very rare good example of what every law office should strive to be like.

Excellent Attorney
Mr. Martinez was fair, honest, and non-judgmental. We hired him to assist with two MIP violations and the outcomes were both dismissals. He was very easy to work with and very professional.

Worth every penny
12/29/2015
I called jacob martinez when I was being charged with a misdemeanor. One that I already had a past criminal history for. I needed help. When i spoke with him over the phone, he was honest and upfront about the the most probable outcome.
I was pleasantly surprised with how affordable his services were. There were numerous other attorneys that I'd spoke with that charged more and had a fraction of the credentials that jacob had.
I am so happy that I followed my gut instinct by hiring him. jacob negotiated a deal that was so great, that I believe, even surprised him. Can't be sure if it was the way he interacted or spoke with the district attorneys, his confidence, his ability to humanize his client to the prosecution or the mutual respect that both sides show for each other that was the cause of this favorable outcome. No matter the reason, I am very thankful to Mr. Jacob Martinez. He is everything his awards and credentials say he is and in my opinion, so much more.

Out of state DUI
I was charged with DUI in a small city just North of Denver last year. I was visiting from out of state. I spoke with 5 or 6 attorneys before I decided to hire Jake. My case was complex and it could have gone many different directions. Jake was very honest and upfront about what I could expect. There was a chance I could have lost my job, lost my driver’s license, served jail time, etc. The cop that arrested me was dishonest and Jake was able to highlight that in my defense. I ended up getting my charges reduced and received a very light sentence. Jake is a fantastic communicator and was very reliable. I did a lot of research before hiring Jake and I found his rates to be some of the most fair for a credible attorney in the area. Thanks for helping me keep my job Jake!

The best DUI attorney
I had Jacob represent me with a DUI case. He was professional, knowledgeable, and kind from the very start. If you call him, he answers or calls back quickly. Always there if you need him. My case was dropped down to a careless driving and I am more than pleased with the outcome and his knowledge throughout the process. No need to look further, he is the lawyer for you!

The best
Mr. Martinez is a professional respectful lawyer who constantly communicated any information I needed to know and prepared me for what i might face. He was well prepared and argued my case very well and treated me as the respectable citizen I am and not how the media portrayed me. I was comfortable with him at my side and recommend him without reservation.

Mr. Martinez gave me tremendous relief. I would use him again in a heartbeat.
I was under a lot of stress from my "legal situation." Mr. Martinez was extremely professional in explaining the different options and the process of navigating the court system. He demonstrated a firm knowledge of his craft, and when he went to bat for me in court, he hit it out of the park. He made me feel like I'm not as bad a guy as the system was making me out to be and conveyed that to the DA. I would use his services again in a heartbeat.

Great lawyer; Great guy
I've worked with several really great lawyers in the past, but Jacob stands out as the best. He kept me in the know throughout my case with regular communication and with a clear explanation of everything along the way. Once we were in the court room, the man was on fire. He clearly understands the law and takes it seriously. Amazing representation - if given the I wouldn't use anyone else.

Saved My Life And My Reputation
My name is Devon - Zarate and without a shadow of a doubt I would recommend Jacob Martinez everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. I'm a Air Force Veteran and martial arts instructor so my word and reputation are extremely important to me so when I got caught up in a situation that I knew I was innocent of Jacob Martinez was my first choice and I'm glad I made it. He took one look at my case and right away he stated that he could get everything handled and squashed. As of yesterday all charges have been dismissed and warrant quashed. Mr. Martinez is extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive. When he says something he says it for a reason because he knows what he's doing. So if you're ever in a bind and need good honest legal representation don't hesitate and give Jacob Martinez a call, it will be the best decision you ever made.
