Tyrone Roman Martinez

I initially hired Ty because, of the 5 attorneys I contacted, he was the only one who did not require me to spend an hour or more at his office before my first court appearance. The other attorneys wanted to spend hours discussing the case even though I’d told them I didn’t even know what I was char...ged with, and had no details. Ty was very logical and told me he’d simply meet me at the courthouse; he’d get the case documents; and we’d go from there. I was impressed with his business sense - that he didn’t make me waste time. He was always very clear and upfront about his fees and his potential additional fees, should the matter go to trial. I could always count on Ty to be at the courthouse for each hearing (over a 7+ month period of time), to answer emails, and to take or return my calls – all very promptly. Ty worked hard to get my case dismissed. I’d been charged with a felony fraud involving a now defunct bank. Ty readily saw that there were major flaws on the DAs side and that no crime was committed. He spent time researching the FDIC takeover of the bank involved, and was more than prepared for the preliminary hearing. Because of Ty’s preparation he was able to show the court exactly why the case should be dismissed – which it was. I would hire Ty again if, God forbid, I were ever faced with something like this. I would highly recommend Ty to anyone who needs a credible and sincere attorney.

After going through what seemed hundreds of advertisements sent from Attorneys, I retained The Law Office of Ty Martinez for several reasons, the two most important are, they always answered the phone and always keep me up to date. The initial interview was thorough and insightful, he took the time... to explain the legal jargon, up front about fees and what my expectations should be. Without a doubt, I felt his law firm would best represent my best interest in a court of Law.

I got Ty Martinez's services because his AVVO reviews were excellent, the person who handles his phone calls sounds approachable and nice, and he offers good terms of payment. As soon as you agree to retain him, you will be sent a questionnaire asking you details about the case and payment informati...on. He represented me in my DMV hearing. He asked me a couple of questions regarding the police report. I confirmed some of the things that were true based on my recollection. But, on the part where I don't agree, I tried explaining my side to Mr. Martinez. I told him that I did not refuse nor did they explain to me what the consequence of the refusal. He didn't seem to be receptive and told me that what matters is if DMV accepts it or not - fair enough. Since this is my first DUI, I thought that sending him an email of possibly helpful information after the first DMV hearing would help my case. I sent them everything I can think of after the first DMV hearing, asking him if those can help. I never received any reply in my email until I called his office after roughly 5 days, where the person who answered the phone got my files, and answered the questions over the phone. When I received the letter with DMV's decision, I was surprised that the findings there are exactly the parts of the police report that I did not agree to. The findings state that I refused after being told what the consequences are. I called him to tell him about my concern and he insisted that he asked me about it, and I confirmed it. He also accused me that I was changing my story. I was so frustrated and I didn't want to argue anymore because there's nothing we can do about it at that point. However, if he only looked at the questionnaire that I filled out originally, I have never been inconsistent with my testimonial - I checked my sent messages in the email after our conversation and there it was saved with the date it was sent to them. I gave him 1 star for trustworthy because I don't feel like I can trust him to review the client's file thorough enough to represent them in small cases like mine. I gave him 3 stars for responsive because he responded to one of the two emails I sent him. I gave him 3 stars for knowledgeable because he is knowledgeable with the court procedures but I felt like he lacked strategy when he defended my case. I gave him 1 star in "Kept me informed" because, he notifies me about payment schedule and they sent me a copy of the police report. However, I never knew what was their strategy for the DMV hearing. I only rated the DMV part because I already got another lawyer to represent me on the criminal part. I am not asking my lawyer to make my case win if it is not even possible. What disappointed me the most are that the findings were exactly the opposite of my testimony, and that he accused me of "changing my story" when I have proof that I never did.

While in desperate need for a lawyer, and fast I began reading reviews of efficient lawyers in the area. Ty Martinez had the best reviews and case results. I met up with him, discussed my case. DUI with Injury, luckily no one died, nor was severely injured. He was very honest and straight forward abo...ut my case. It wasn't easy. I had 3 courts before my sentencing court, and it was the longest morning of my life. He came and told me that I was going to have to go to state prison for a year, I was crushed, and got teary eyes but I was strong. He said he'd do his best to get me a good offer. Finally he tells me that my offer was taken, and that i'd have to do a long period of work release and be on probation. On one of our conversations he stated "i will work to do everything I can for you. attorneys are not magicians, and the facts in your case are not good" but he did his best, he kept me out of prison what else can I have asked for. I was finally able to have a good nights sleep. April 2012-June 2012, doesn't seem like a long time, but the days were eternal, I was a mess. He's truly a magician, he's experienced, and trustworthy! Thank You Ty!!!!!!!
