Tyrone Roman Martinez

My wife and I had an argument over our children, she called the police and made a false report against me. I was arrested on Felony Domestic Violence, Assault With a Deadly Weapon and two counts of Child Endangerment. The following day, my wife filed for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order and la...w enforcement filed a Criminal Protective Order against me. After four days in jail, I was released on a 75K bail bond, ordered to attend a 52-week batterer intervention program and could not see my children. On my court day, I was assigned a Public Defender who did not want to hear my testimony and basically accused me of the charges and information given to her by the District Attorney. At that point, I didn’t know what to do and thought I had no choice but to plead guilty for something I did not do. My family and I did some research for criminal defense attorneys. The Law Offices of Tyrone R. Martinez stood out amongst other prestigious reputable lawyers. I read his reviews, profile and his official record of the State Bar. I knew Ty was the one I wanted to represent me. After discussing my side of the story with Ty, he immediately studied my situation, started strategizing using techniques that I would not have imagined until he explained it to me the way he saw things in a different perspective. He made sure that my rights and interests were protected. I felt hopeful that someone finally believed in me and was willing to put his all into the case. We selected the jury and trial lasted three days. Ty’s closing statement made the jury envision the true facts of my case and they deliberated and decided the verdict within 40 minutes. “NOT GUILTY ON ALL FOUR COUNTS!” That was incredible! I was shocked, overwhelmed and literally in tears to hear the verdict from each one of the twelve jurors. Ty is an amazing attorney who knows the system and the law very well. Even though he is very busy, he was always available by email and by phone. He really made me feel confident of my case and got the best outcome possible. Ty demonstrated professionalism, outstanding workmanship, legal knowledge, caring and patience throughout my case. I highly recommend Ty Martinez and his partner Yvonne Todd for an excellent job well done. They are incredibly outstanding attorneys and reasonably affordable. Do not hesitate to hire this outstanding legal team without a doubt, it will be the best thing you can do for yourself if you ever find yourself in legal trouble. Thanks again to the Law Offices of Tyrone R. Martinez.

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.
