Rachel Steinback, Criminal defense Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Martin is, hands down, the best criminal defense attorney I know. He is brilliant, a zealous advocate, and most important, he gets incredible results. If I ever needed a lawyer, he would be the first person I call... I can't think of higher praise than that. And, beyond his top-notch capabilities and skills, he is a wonderful human being. He genuinely cares about his clients and he treats every case as if it is his most important case. I can't recommend Martin highly enough.
