Amazing Civil Litigation Attorney

I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik and Sawl Law Group. They were there for me when I needed them the most. Martin represented my son Joe Razo, Jr in a criminal suit, and once he was cleared with ALL criminal charges, he helped us with my sons personal injury law suit. Helen Diaz was great to work wi...th and anytime we had questions she made sure the right contact in their office reached me and helped answer with any of my concerns. After a long three years of our suit, we finally came to a close and my son was very happy with the outcome. Thank you again Martin and Sawl Law Group for being by our side the entire time. We are truly grateful for your concerns and trusting my sons word when no one else would hear his story.

martin saved my ex husband 8-10 yrs of prison

Mr Taleisnik saved my ex husband from serving a prison sentence of 12yrs with 75% time served and got him down to a 4yr sentence with half time served. My ex husband may have even been looking at serving a sentence for 3rd strike offense (he has had a strike striked off multiple times) I was please...d with the representation of Martin Taleisnik.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Martin is a skilled litigator whose creativity is only exceeded by his tenacity. I have watched him work just as hard for those clients with smaller cases as for those with larger cases. It is clear to me that he always has the best interest of his clients at heart. I will also say that his experience with criminal defense work also gives him important insights when a civil case and a criminal case intersect. Martin is an excellent choice for your personal injury lawyer."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Martin is one of the most knowledgeable criminal defense lawyers I know. He has a stored wealth of information on criminal law and he puts it to good use on behalf of his clients in court. He is not grandiose and boisterous in court, like some, but instead takes the (better) approach of advocating through preparedness and clear thinking/speaking. I highly recommend Martin if you need a local defense attorney."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
