I hired Christopher Marten to defend me in a criminal matter that never went to court. I felt 100% confidence in him and his team. My case however never went to court. Showed up for first time no paperwork, 2nd time case dismissed so they never really had to do anything. I payed him 4,000 up front pr...obably would have been cheaper to pay per hour and a retainer. So mixed feelings about that, kind of wish I would have gotten something back all things considered they really didn't have to do anything for me and that is a lot of money for a single mom to put out to protect their future. But overall very professional.

Here I thought I was loosing my husband. Looking at a 10yr sentence Mr. Martens got his case dismissed. I'm so grateful for his help. The staff is amazing and made me feel like family. Everyone is always helpful and supportive. Hireing him was the best thing I could have done. Thank you Martens Law F...irm. You guys kick ass!!!!!

I met with Christopher Martens for a free consultation for some rather steep charges. I arrived terrified feeling on the verge of unraveling by what seemed to be the bleakest of circumstances. Mr. Martens and his staff were very welcoming and warm. I spoke with him about the circumstances surround...ing my case which he took in and leveled with me without sugar coating anything. He gave me multiple scenarios of how these charges could unfold. Ultimately he said he thought my case was not near as bleak as it appeared to me based on the information that I had provided to him. Each moment that he spent talking to me about my legal options I finally began to feel a sense of hope and security that thus far I had not. I felt confident in him and his firm and planned on retaining them. However a few hours after I left I found out that my significant other whom was charged with the same crime had just been arraigned and that all charges had been rejected. I was unsure what that meant for my case and so I phoned Mr. Martens for clarification. Mr. Martens informed me that he would contact me the next day after he spoke with the DA about whether or not my case was being pursued. He did just as he said and called me first thing the next morning to notify me that my case had indeed been rejected at this time by the DA and charges had been dropped. He also spoke to me about what to expect such as two court appearances that I would still need to attend. I asked him if I needed counsel at them and he stated he did not believe so, but if I needed him I could call. He continued to help me without my even asking with my bail. Throughout all of this Mr. Martens had not been retained by me and neither did he ask for any monetary reimbursement for his counsel. His professionalism and compassion astounded me as I, like many others, am plagued with preconceived notions of attorneys. In the end I not only left feeling hope for my future, but at the risk of sounding sappy or ingratiating, I also felt hope in people as well when throughout all of this I had begun to distrust everyone. In short, or long as this review has turned out to be, if I am ever in any legal need of any kind I consider myself to have an attorney and need not comb through endless lists blindly hoping to find someone to represent me in a matter as crucial as to determine my entire future. Thank you to Mr. Martens and his entire staff for everything they did for me. Thank you........
