BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE...

This guy is the reason for jokes about lawyers..He is the type you dont want to hire because he lacks any care for his clients..He is very arrogant and seems to justify his behavior in order to burn up your retainer..I spent 11 grand with Mr. Martinez's and all I got was a ton of filed paperwork whic...h did nothing to advance my divorce settelement in fact he was aware of a settlement offer 2 months before acknowleging it existed allowing him to burn up the remainder of my retainer at which point he asked for another $5,000..After I informed him that I couldnt afford it he then told me I should take the settlement offer that he claims he knew nothing about... All I can say is DO NOT hire George Martinez for any type of legal representation, He is a disgrace to all the good attorneys out there...And FYI, when a client dismisses him he will keep filing paperwork with the court and sends you the bill and if you dont pay he will take you to small claims...Cmon George, waiting for your carefully worded and condescending rebuttal...

George and staff

George and his entire staff was always available when I needed them. They kept me up to date on all issues concerning my case. They communicated promptly and always had my best interest and well being in mind. Their advice was always helpful and greatly appreciated. George and his staff were always... helpful, compassionate, available, friendly, empathetic, and respectful of the situation that I was dealing with. It was the most difficult time in my life and they treated me like family, which was a great comfort to me! I would definitely recommend George and his entire office to my family and friends. If I ever need an attorney again, George will be my first call. Calvin

Not recommended

My situation would be much better off without hiring George. I was very disappointed because I was misinformed with the trial days and his legal directions. He was very deceptive with his charges. He was not up front with the legal costs and I ended up paid thousands of dollars without having the cas...e resolved.

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE LAWYER!!!

I'm going to get right to the point. He is all talk & that's it. You will be sorry if you hire him just like I am. The only thing you can count on him for, is a huge bill, that's it. Because I took his advice thinking that was why I hired him in the first place ended up costing me my entire future. M...y ex & his lawyer made us an offer & even put it in writing, I thought it was pretty good but Martinez insisted & had me convinced we could do better & recommended that we turn it down and so I did. I headed into the (MSC) with not a worry in the world believing in everything he had been telling me for over the last year & a half. Nothing could have prepared me for how he handled it, I was in shock & ah & freaking out in no time at all. He had my life in his hands at this point and I trusted him with it and his only words to me were "well, something is better than nothing" after they threw us a new offer taking it down from a total pay-off of a half million to now a total pay-off being $186k, & that's all he had to say to me, I was on my own at that point to make the right call. When I needed my lawyer the most is when I saw what he was really made of & that's why I'm writing this review. I want everybody to know ahead of time before it's to late like it is for me now that he's not made of anything good. He is so bad that it should be against the law for someone like Martinez to be a lawyer, letting the average person think it's safe to trust him with so much at risk. Well it is what it is now and it was a hard lesson learned and hopefully by telling all of you a piece of the story you won't make the same mistake. Oh, & where it stands now is with him wanting to sue me for the remainder of what I owe him and the least he will do is send it into collections and screw me one last time, isn't he sweet?

This Office takes all of its Client’s legal interests most seriously and very much regrets this unknown Divorce Client’s experience with my Law Office. However, in this Family Law Attorney’s nearly 35 years of experience, I have come to know no Professional can always satisfy the desires and wants of all of his or her Clients, though this Office will always attempt to do so. It is strongly hoped that this unknown Divorce Client was able to resolve his or her Family Law Matter to his or her satisfaction over time. Respectfully Submitted, George A. Martinez, Esq.

Outstanding

Mr. Martinez is thorough and upstanding. His office is a caring and professional environment. He and his staff were completely involved in my case. His staff was available and willing to listen when new things arose. They understood my needs and were able to give me valuable tools to work with even a...fter my case was over. Mr. Martinez and his staff have continued to be a stable support system in child custody issues. I disagree with the statement that Mr. Martinez in not a fighter. The strongest muscle you have to fight with is your brain. Mr. Martinez is excellent at that. Other Attorneys may be loud and verbally aggressive but Mr. Martinez is effective and solid. I absolutely recommend this office.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"George Martinez is one of the finest family attorneys in the greater Sacramento Area. I have opposed him on two dissolution cases, and know him to be a formidable opponent, a relentless advocate for his client, yet responsive to the inevitable difficulties of the opposing parties I represented. He is deeply knowledgeable of the law,a tough advocate, yet compassionate and fair minded -- the kind of attorney I would seek if I needed help in a family law matter."
