"I have seen Chris Martens in court for about 8 years now. Chris is a dedicated defense attorney who has a great reputation in local Kings and Tulare County courts for being willing to take a case to trial.

But Chris developed a reputation early in his practice as an effective fighter. If your future freedom is in doubt, I recommend Chris Martens as your attorney."
