Life Saver!!!!
Martina is the best thing that's ever happened to me. After going back and forth on whether or not I needed a lawyer, I finally decided to make a few calls and speak with a few different attorneys. Martina right off the bat was the most informative, helpful and was the only one who seemed genuinely invested in helping. Most other attorneys I spoke with had a very cavalier attitude. She was very easy to get ahold of throughout the duration of my case, and consistently kept me in loop as to any changes/progress being made. I have never felt like someone worked harder for me in my entire life, and retaining her services is without a doubt the best decision I've ever made.

Best of the best
Mrs. Martina was the most honest and decent attorney I have ever encountered! I had four traffic cases open and my license was suspended due to non failures to appear , I called her up and she right over the phone checked the status of my driver license and right away gave me a very fair price. compare, to attorneys that feel their time is so valuable that they don't even take a moment to deal with you directly and right away charge you $1000's of dollars to just look at your case. She was totally the opposite. She lisened, she cared, and she followed through with what she promised. I 100% recommended her to anyone who is looking for a real attorney who care about you.

Very professional. I highly recommend Martina.
Martina is an excellent attorney. I hired Martina after receiving a misdemeanor citation in San Bernardino. Not only was she kind, helpful and very knowledgeable, Martina contacted the police department, court and District Attorney's Office even before the first court date. All criminal charges were dropped and I am so thankful to have chosen Martina as my attorney. Although, she can be more expensive than other attorneys, she was worth every penny. You will not regret hiring Martina.

Martina A. Vigil
About a year ago, Martina started assisting me with my child custody case. I told her my situation and she gave me her full attention and honesty. She explained the legal process very well. I was going through a really tough time with this issue in my life and she made me feel really secure and positive. She works really hard for her clients and is very passionate about her work. She is very very good at calling back to her clients. Martina is a great lawyer. She is very professional and makes sure you understand what is best for you. She made this tough time in my life very smooth. I highly recommend her. I am so happy with the outcome of my case, all thanks to Martina Vigil. Thank you Martina.

The Best Consult!
I consulted Martina with questions regarding my husband's case, after his conviction. He had some questions regarding an article he read, which he needed clarity on. He was in hopes that there was a new legislation that may help him with an early release. I had exhausted all resources in getting the answers. Both the county clerk office and PD office kept referring us back to the attorney which handled our case. For weeks, we could not even get a return call from our attorney. I researched and found Martina. I emailed my inquiry, and she responded immediately! She was thorough, efficient and most gracious! She took the time to research and answer our questions. Definitely retaining her, if need be in the future and most definitely has my recommendation.

Read this before hiring.
I have been represented more than a few times. Unfortunately, I have been let down more than a few times. I hired Martina Vigil and her team to defend me and they got charges dismissed. This law office treated me with respect, exhausted leads, returned all of my emails quickly, answered my questions thoroughly and moreover, went to bat for me and kept me a free man. If history repeats itself, I know who I'll hire, without a doubt.

Outstanding Service!!!
When my son 20yr old son was arrested on a criminal charge my world fell apart it was truly the hardest thing I had ever gone through but thanks to Martina representing him everything turn out fine. She was very professional, caring, compassionate, focused and walked us thru every step of the process. I know we couldn't have made it thru this without her help. I am beyond thankful for her services and would highly recommend her!
