Unlawful detainer

We were filed an unlawful detainer, which we Now found out that it's not binding without A Judge's signature. She didn't help prevent it from blemishing our credit. As tenants now we are having a problem finding a place to live. Most of the time she was being condescending but not actually... giving counsel or advice. We now currently displaced. She was appointed to us.

Well-rounded and Effective!!

Edith (Edie) Martinez is an amazing lawyer!! She's smart, knowledgeable about the law, resourceful, caring and compassionate. I have worked closely with Edie for over 2 years now (two separate family law issues) and she has always been professional, respectful, kind and truthful in all our interactio...ns. She has never given me the runaround and always informs me of the most cost-effective options while never giving away any strategic edge. I have spent several hours with her at her office (and with her assisant Linda who is sweet as pie and extremely helpful as well) and at the courthouse. This has allowed me to observe Edie's interactions with other clients and lawyers. It is obvious she is well liked professioanly and works for her client's best interest at all times. I have also had the unusual opertunity to witness how Edie conducts herself when faced with highly unprofessional and hostile colleagues. Edie always maintains calm, never stooping to their level of childishness, while standing up for herself and her clients. Edie is a force to be reckoned with and has a heart to protect those who are not able to protect themselves. She works dilaganlty to see justice served. I realize no one is perfect, but I could not have asked for a better person to have in my corner all of these months! You will not be disappointed!!

I don't hesitate to recommend Edith Martinez without reservation.

I hired Edith to help with a specific child custody matter. Edith is extremely efficient and to the point. She told me how the court would view my case and what needed to happen for me to attain my objective. Edith is a no-nonsense lawyer and doesn't play games, she kept me connected with my case t...hroughout. I don't hesitate to recommend Edith Martinez without reservation.

Top Notch and would highly recommend

Edith "Edie" Martinez is in every sense of the word- Top Notch. She is very knowledgeable and very ethical. Edie will not just "paint a pretty picture" to lead you to believe you will win in order to give you high hopes. She tells it like it is- good, bad or otherwise. Edie is honest and trustworthy ...and knows family law. I would much rather have an honest and trustworthy lawyer than one that blows smoke up your skirt just to give you false hope in order to rack up the bill. I believe she is brilliant and have told her so many times. I would recommend Edie to anyone looking for a top notch excellent lawyer. She's the only lawyer I would want on my side-- and I'm always a little sorry for the other lawyer who has to go up against her in court.
