Fraud disciplined by CAL Bar

This is worst attorney in California. I fired this fraud immediately after I found out he has been disciplined by State Bar; which he tried to hide, he defrauded clients for thousands, did not provide contracted services yet still practices because he claims has done these frauds since he is mentally... disabled. See the case for yourself, case SBC-20-O-30770 at https://www.statebarcourt.ca.gov/ Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Takes advantage of females

Initially i think that he would he good choice to help me. But as other reviewer mentioned, he talks good game but that is aboiyt it. He enticed me with promises, but then few weeks later started to change them. It got to the point that i was afraid to go to his office alone without friend, it felt ...as if he was flirting with me yet he kept increasing the amount i had to leave on retainer. Final straw was when this creepy old men invited me on fun business trip and said i could refill retainer by helping him on that trip. I felt dirty just hearing that, he took advantage of me and i switched now to Jennifer Greene who is professional unlike this sleaze bag and much cheaper rate.I wish I had recorder him because he denies everything when my friend confront him later.

Thank you Martin.

Martin did a very good job representing me through my divorce. We had to communicate by telephone , email , text , etc.. due to Covid and although the courts were not open and many delays by the court system we were able to complete the divorce. He was very helpful and kept all our appointments right... on time. I am very happy with the outcome of the divorce settlement. I will recommend Martin to anyone that needs representation of whatever services he covers. Thank you again Martin.

Bad "lawyer"

Worst experience. Took thousands, made promises, never filed paperwork and lost custody. Stay away from this clown. He is being sued now

TALKS A GOOD GAME, BUT......

Paid Mr. Nichols to make an important communication to my husband's attorney, which he agreed to do. Unfortunately, he dropped the ball. When I asked him about this, he would not return my letters or calls. Had to show up at his offices and not leave until he communicated with me and wrote me a re...fund check.
