Labor Day Mistake

Christopher was very informative, knew a lot about the law and how to avoid losing my license. He helped me to get a minimum sentence for my DUI and not lose my license. He was very supportive and understood all my concerns. He addressed all my questions and was flexible with his payment. He also... has a great personality and is very easy to talk to. I would recommend him to anyone needing a good, reasonably priced and conscience lawyer.

Wrongly Accused

I'm not sure how to properly thank Christopher for taking my case and making me feel confident and comfortable when I needed it the most. He listened when I ranted. He heard my concerns when I was completely freaked out and was understanding to what I was going through. I'm a single Dad of three li...ttle kids who I sacrifice my world for and I was about to lose everything I had because someone had no regard for me as a person, parent or human being. I was falsely accused and prosecuted for a criminal offense that I never did nor happened. I woke up one August morning to find out I was being charged by Kings County and that I could face a year in jail, heavy fines and my life completely upended. I was appointed a public defender who I felt ; showed no empathy for my situation and already deemed me to face some sort of penalty just because "if the shoe fits". They had no evidence to support their case but went ahead and took five months of my life anyway... I felt robbed . Mr. Martens from day one was confident that a successful outcome would be the case and that's the only thing he would fight for.... We weren't excepting any pleas or Deal........ So... DISMISSED. For lack of evidence...... Thank You Mr. Martens and Staff!!! I can breath again. Even though my time with you was brief, my appreciation will last for life.... Sincerely, Brian

Speeding ticket

I was going over 100 mph, he got my case dismissed with no points or fine but was hard to get ahold of. Once I sent in the retainer, he didn't call me back to update me much. That being said, he still did his job with great expertise. It would have been better peace of mind if he returned my calls, b...ut he did notify me without prompt of the end result which was very gratifying!
