Our strongest possible recommendation for Judd Marten

Judd genuinely put OUR unique needs and concerns uppermost in his mind when advising us about our estate plan and in preparing out wills. We could not be more pleased about the final products he crafted and also at the entire experience of dealing with him. Judd is extremely knowledgeable as well as... thoughtful, introspective and simply the kind of person that makes you feel as if you had been long-time friends. Besides all of the above, he was very fair in his billing. We will strongly recommend him to other members of our family and friends, as well as anyone else who reads this review! His legal assistant, Bridget, was likewise a pleasure to deal with.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"During law school, I enrolled in several of Mr. Marten's classes (estate planning, gifts and estate tax). He is incredibly knowledgable and passionate. Mr. Marten solidified my interest in estate planning and is one of the major reasons I now practice in this area."

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.
