Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I recently hired Christine Martin to support my law firm and my client in connection with my client's involvement as a victim in a LA County criminal prosecution that was related to the civil action the my firm was prosecuting. Christine appeared in court with my client and handled a high-touch client with incredible skill and care, and was successful in securing a global resolution of both matters that day. Christine's fee was reasonable and she was very responsive and professional. Highly recommend.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Ms. Martin is a valuable contact to have if you need legal assistance in Orange County in general and Santa Ana in particular. She regularly appears in court throughout the Southland where she can be found employing creative ways to solve problems. If she is too busy at the moment to personally help you she is a reliable source for referrals to colleagues she knows and trusts. Hopefully she is available and will agree to take your case. I endorse this lawyer.
