David Alan Martin

When I got the opportunity to write a review for The Law Office of David A. Martin & Associates, I was quite happy to share my experience. Like most people, I never planned on needing a divorce attorney. Lost and seeking help and guidance, I found David Martin. As a father, my biggest concern about the divorce was my two children and having the ability and means to care for them. Ultimately, my divorce was a complicated one; the opposing side made matters extremely challenging and drug every detail out as long as possible. David and his team were unbelievably knowledgeable and diligent in guiding me through the divorce process. They took care of every need and all paperwork to make sure I was protected. After the divorce was complete and the paperwork was all signed, there were a couple more issues that needed to be taken care of between my ex and I. David and his team even followed up with me to make sure everything went smoothly. I never wish for anyone to go through the struggle of a divorce. Unfortunately, if you are reading this review, you might be considering it. I give The Law Office of David A. Martin & Associates 5 stars only because Yelp doesn't allow me to give them 6.

I have the utmost respect for David A. Martin and his team! I have been a client with his firm for over 10 years and would never go to anyone else. David knows what he is doing and practices with professionalism and attention to detail. He is very realistic with his expectations and is very upfront and honest with his answers. He does not "sugar-coat" anything therefore I always knew what to expect when going to court. My ex and his family were/are very difficult to deal with and David always remained calm and professional. His office staff was always quick to get paperwork filed and any issues resolved quickly. I will continue to use the Law Offices of David A. Martin to represent me in any future needs!!

This is not a paid review! This is solely based on my experience with David and his staff. Going through a divorce is tough enough, then add in all the ins and outs of negotiating accounts,children,property ect... it can become overwhelming. David and his staff were and are always supportive and looking out for your best interest. David is always straight forward and honest offering you a professional and educated answer to questions or circumstances. His over all goal is to make sure your protected and represented to the best of his ability. He is always professional and tries to work with the opposing attorney to resolve the divorce ASAP.

The Law Offices of David A. Martin represented me in my very complex case. I don't have words enough to say how great David and his team are. I was with two attorneys prior with minimal results. When I signed on with David the positive results were immediate. I made many panicked calls and had so many questions. No one ever made me feel like they didn't have time for me. I felt important and valued. They knew my name and details of my case each time I called. The judges and other counsel all seemed to respect him. We got everything we wanted/ needed and more with the help of his team. They feel like family which is so important when you are dealing with such sensitive matters. There is no better protection when it comes to your family than someone who will fight hard, especially if it comes to children.

I wish that Avvo had reviews for David before I had hired him - this is a much needed service! I was both shocked and (sadly) validated when I read that I was not the first client he has insulted (so unprofessional). I started the divorce process in mediation and unfortunately had to hire an attorney due to dealing with a very volatile spouse after we didn't agree upon our divorce proceedings. I hired David to protect me and be my advocate and due to David's negligence, was eventually left with an even more angry and threatening spouse, less spousal support and was being pushed by David to go to trial (which would mean more money for David). While he did get my initial spousal support ruling (in our case, was super easy to prove), he massively aggravated the situation. He was incredibly bad at following up with me, both his staff and his attention to detail left me with many errors to correct in his paperwork and filings (they billed me for the editing of these errors - like the misspelling of real estate) and much like the other reviewer, David also directly insulted me multiple times. In our last hearing together, he failed to review my file (even after a few unreturned follow up calls by me to ask if we could prep for the hearing so that I knew what his strategy was) and he didn't realize that his office failed to file the proper paperwork that I had submitted and been told would be filed. He even said to the judge, "I'm not sure what goes on in my office, but this should have been filed." His negligence in this last hearing resulted in my loss of a great amount of money and an empowered crazy spouse. He "forgot" but later claimed that it was a strategic move to not file the paperwork (one made without my permission) and I'm sure this was only stated in order to cover himself for claim of malpractice. Even though he offered to resolve his negligence (proof that he took some responsibility), he then still billed me for time I was told he would not be billing. I contested these billings and quickly found myself another attorney. After months of being told that I could not "project manage," that my expectations on proper business conduct and communication were unrealistic and that I was "difficult to work with" I have found an attorney to work with who truly understands true legal professionalism. Even after hiring my new attorney, I was given the run around by David and his staff on making my final payment - being rudely turned away and was dismissively told by Nicole that they do not "have time for this." I cannot believe they are still in business! Do not settle for someone like David A. Martin. There are people out there who actually care about your case instead of turning it into a money-making opportunity like David did. I would happily refer people to this new attorney and will be highly reviewing him which will result in much, much more of a moneymaking opportunity - a referral-based service business relies on this and David clearly does not understand this. I too run a service-oriented business and would never treat a client the way that David A. Martin and his staff have treated me.
