Unfavorable

My experience with Jared was less than desirable. Jared was never prepared and did not seem engaged, and proved out in the results. Higher retainer does not mean a higher level of knowledge in this case. Much better options in the Boise area I'm sure.

Deer in the headlights!

I hired Jared in my criminal case to protect me. When it came time for him to protect me, honestly he was like a deer in the headlights. Choose your attorney carefully and if need be spend more money if you really want to be protected. I would suggest hiring someone with more experience if you re...ally want your case Protected.

Best DUI defense I Could ask for

I recently needed legal services in Boise. I went to Jared B. Martens Law Office. When all was said and done, I could not be happier. Not only was he and his staff very attentive...the price was very reasonable and the end result was exactly what he said it would be. I highly recommend Jared Marten...s Law Office. I would also like to give a special shout out to Shawna...your exceptional attention to detail was a big factor in my decision. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Jared is the attorney to have by your side to go to bat for you when life throws you a curveball!

I would highly recommend Jared to anyone in need of an attorney. After retaining him he promptly came to my aide, gave me great advice, and settled my case quickly so I could get on with my life. Of course, like anyone I would like to have my case dropped, but rather than draw things out and pad his ...pockets he negotiated a very acceptable settlement which included a withheld judgement with an option to have it wiped from my record thus saving time and money and giving me a near guaranteed result (that comes with a lot of peace of mind which means a lot when the prosecutor is "gunning" for you!)
