Godsend !

We hired Martin and team to help us with our situation. They took the time to understand our issue with sufficient patience and provided a deep insight into causes. He and his team were able to provide a fairly illustrative prognosis over the next steps on the case. With his legal experience he was a...ble to drive prompt resolutions and also pivot on matters as necessary to keep our (client) interest at the center of potential outcomes. He collaborated with other legal disciplines and is always amenable to different approaches. We were completely caught offgaurd with out situation but owing to competent and professional intervention by Martin et al, we eventually were able to resolve to our benefit. In summary, we are very happy and relieved with the outcome would strongly recommend their involvements for best possible outcomes.

Great Attorney

I came to Mr Cavarez really worried about my case because it would affect my immigration process. We sat down for a long consult in which he explained everything in detail. I felt really confident with his knowlege and experience as an attorny and he gave me a sense of tranqulity in regards of ny sit...uation. I decided to hire him to represent me in court and it was the BEST decision i could have taken. Mr Cavarez took care of me along the case, he MADE sure I would get the best outcome posible on the case and helped me not go to jail at all. I am really satisfy with his ingegrity, kindness, experience, the willing to help the latino community and last but not least, he is a great person. He didnt pay attention to my mistakes but instead showed affection in the most proffesional way possible. So if you are in the need of a great proffesional and honest attorney. Mr Cavarez is who you should go with.

Excellent lawyer , I will always recommend and turn to Martin Caraves for any legal issues. He explained everything thoroughly , gave me the information that I needed to know and if I didn't understand he would explain again. He kept contact with me at all time keeping me up to date on what's going o...n with my case and giving me the good and bad news. Explained to me my option and what would be the best choice for me to make. I highly recommend Martin Caraves to EVERYONE!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
