great experience

I was a victim of identity theft and when one particular creditor would not release me i decided to seek legal council who specialized in going against this creditor. Using Tom Martin was the BEST decision i could have made! He was terrific, friendly, always reachable and made me feel confident ...that we would achieve success. Because of his great work, he got them to release me and award me a terrific settlement for their despicable behavior. I HIGHLY recommend Tom for your legal needs!

MOS DEF SUPER LAWYERS RISING STARS!!!!!

I joined Century debt consolidation last year. One of the benefits was having Martin and Bontrager law firm support and handle any legal issues with debt collectors. At first I was skeptical, I even called at one point to cancel based on fear that I would never get any results..... Welll let me tell... you, it is the best thing I have done for myself and my financial future. Ric, Nick and Tom have been more than supportive. I appreciate their immediate response to emails with all my concerns, no matter how small. By following their direction I received unbelievable results! I had 3 claims with Century. The first debt was reduced and paid off. The second debt was reduced (and in the process of being paid off), and the creditor ended up having to pay me $700 for harassing phone calls. Ok that is great right? This get better. I received an email from Tom, I was reading it without my glasses so I wasn’t sure if it was right... it said not only is the last creditor waiving and zeroing out the approximately $ 6,100.64 debt they are paying me $10,399.36.... yes $10,399.36. I called Tom immediately to make sure this was real. He says “yes, Christmas came early!” I am still overwhelmed with gratitude. I am closer than I ever believed I could be to being debt free and to doing all the things I want, like eventually buying a home. Tom, Ric and Nick you all F***ING ROCK!!!!!! Kindest regards, LaChè Milo Graybill

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have both been a co-worker of and co-counsel with Mr. Martin in various consumer litigation matters over the past 4-5 years. Mr. Martin's knowledge of both consumer laws and procedure make him a invaluable advocate for any consumer in need of assistance. He is nationally recognized as a leading consumer advocate but yet, in my experience, still maintains a personal contact with all his clients which only the true consumer advocates maintain. As a fellow consumer advocate who has litigated thousands of claims in my career, I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Martin as one of the best consumer attorneys in the state of California and nationwide. You can't go wrong by contacting Tom for a free consultation to hear your options."
