Committed Lawyer

I would like to thank Tom Martin for a great job on my case. He stayed in full contact with me through the phone and email to keep me updated. He was very quick to respond to all my inquiries. Which were sometimes a lot! He gave me a full understanding about my rights as a consumer. I know he was co...mmitted and dedicated to my case which resulted in a positive settlement. Tom did a great job representing me. I would highly recommend him and his firm. Thank you so much Tom!

Excellent Law Firm

My experience with Attorney Tom Martin was positive from the first moment I consulted with him. I was being harassed by several creditors and debt collectors. Through the entire process Attorney Martin educated me on how my rights were being violated. He was very precise, efficient, and extremely kno...wledgeable throughout the whole process. He always responded to any questions or doubts I has very promptly. After some strong negotiating with several creditors he was able reach a settlement for me. All of the results were outstanding! Martin & Bontrager is an excellent Law Firm and Attorney Tom Martin did an extraordinary job on representing me! I would highly recommend them! Thanks Attorney Martin!

Excessive/harassing phone calls from creditor

Tom was extremely helpful advising us how to handle excessive/ harassing phone calls from a creditor. He helped us to fill out a call log and we would e-mail it to him every 3-5 days over a three-month period of time. Tom contacted the creditor and the phone calls stopped. Tom then went to bat for u...s and he got a settlement for us. What a blessing he has been. We would definitely recommend him and want to thank him for all of his help and support during a difficult time.

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."
