The Law Offices of Mark S. Martinez is such a place. The basic premise of almost every accident is there is an individual or entity at fault and behind them is the insurance whose primary goal is to deter and minimize the cost associated with the injury. Unfortunately, the systems in place for an unrepresented or underrepresented individual are not designed to ensure that full medical treatment and compensation will be awarded by the insurance company of the individual at fault.

Eviction Defense and Settlement

Got referred to this office from the OC Legal Aid Center. Saw Mark and his staff, and was immediately more comfortable with my real estate situation. Mark took my case and assisted me with the legal system trials and tribulations with a shady money lender/home buyer. Mark and his office sued this s...hady guy for me to stop the harassment and even got me a settlement that gave me money on TOP of what Mr, Shady Lender owed me!!! Today, I got the final settlement check, and I can't wait to move into my new home!!!

excellent consultation!

Although I did not hire Mr. Martinez (thankfully, the need passed) I did meet with him for a consultation and was VERY impressed with the attention that he paid to my issues and the information that he presented to me. After meeting with Mr. Martinez i left feeling much better about my situation. T...hanks again -

Passionate and Professional

Mark is a dedicated and professional attorney with background in Real Estate. I have had the fortune to see him work firsthand and know that he treats each client as top-priority and passionately represents their interests as if they were his own. I would certainly recommend.

DUI & Property Damage

I would highly recommend Mr. Martinez. I consulted with Mr. Martinez and told him I would think about hiring him. The day of the hearing I called him at 7:00 a.m. to hire him. Miraculously, he answered the phone and showed up with me to court that morning. I was being charged with a dui and hit a...nd run with property damage. After Mr. Martinez finished representing me, the DUI was dismissed and I entered a deferred entry of judgment on the hit and run violation. All I had to do was attend 1 class and pay some minimal fines. I was so happy, I used the money I saved to get a tattoo. If you think you need an attorney call Mr. Martinez, he will give you the representation you need and deserve.
