Dedicated

I was a bit nervous when i started the process of "getting out of debt" by ignoring telephone calls, etc from creditors.. When i was hooked up with Tom i was still nervous, but he told me "I was in good hands", and i was..He never not answered my emails or calls, if he didn't answer, he would call ba...ck...I trusted him and he proved that trust by guiding me in making decisions with the creditors.. One creditor was hard to deal with, but Tom gave me good advice... I would recommend him to anyone who is dealing with debt and wants to get their credit up. Thank you Tom!!

The best experience with an attorney

I have to say that this was the best experience I have ever had with an attorney. Tom had to almost hold my hand through this and did so with out missing a step. He explained every step to me so I would understand. He kept me up to date on everything that was going on. I can't say enough about hi...m and his team.

Excellent Efficient

From the first email Tom did an excellent job of spelling out to me exactly the nature of my situation... He told me what he could do for me and he gave an example of the results of a previous client. Whenever I had a question he was always very good at getting back to me in a short period of time wi...th an answer. The result of his work on my case is absolutely phenomenal... I could have never predicted such a successful outcome. I recommend Tom with the highest degree of confidence!

Excellent lawyer, great skills

I work with the government and was in need of a good lawyer due to my job. I had a case against one of the top 3 banks in the U.S and needed legal support. I had tried a couple of local lawyers in my town but all had failed to get any results. I was recommended Mr. Martin and his team and sure enough... they were able to litigate my case against the bank and get me a settlement in a matter of months. Mr. Martin did exactly what I wanted, I was able to call him and email him and he responded every time. If I'm ever in need of another lawyer this is the professional I'm hiring.

Review of Attoryney, G. Thomas Martin III

After an unexpected surgery and being off work for an extended period of time, I found myself struggling with bills. Attorney Thomas Martin literally came to my rescue. As soon as he took my case, he was working with my creditors to come to an agreeable solution. I felt he was always available, answe...ring my calls or emails. I would definitely recommend Mr. Martin, and in fact, have to a friend who is experiencing similar difficulties.

"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."
