Martin Louis Salina

I would like to start by saying what an incredible divorce attorney Marti is. Martin Salina is a Gem, period. I have seen 3 attorneys with great frustration and disbelief, before I finally did extensive research and found Mr. Salina's name as one of the best. With my previous attorneys, I was so ...frustrated to feel like they were actually helping the opposing counsel. My first attorney missed a very important deadline, and intentionally did not return my calls, and I ended up getting served instead filing my case first. I haven't dome much research since my wife took the kids and hit the road with all the cash in the bank and he was the only one I could find to get in to see that same day. After this I immediately dismissed him. Then I asked my colleagues and Paine Hamblen Law Firm was recommended. This time I thought I was covered, but again the atty there never was available to me, never replied to my communications and inquiries in a timely manner, and I felt like she was helping the opposing counsel. She was very poor to represent my interests and i ended p paying huge amounts of temporary alimony. When I protested it I was told not to pay my federal taxes so I could keep paying my ex. How is that for good advice ? The atty only had 40-50% of her practice in family law. My third atty was the worst. Since my ex played it very nasty, I went out to find a "shark" as they call and hired a criminal, DUI defense atty whose practice was 20-30 % family law. The outcome was even worse. He was working for my ex, too. Several points I would like to mention about Mr. Salina : I met him initially for an hour and explained the almost one year old divorce battle to him. I was amazed at the level of detail and understanding that was displayed in his memo which he sent me later in the mail, which summarized his understanding of my case. Obviously, he has a high IQ and he was very accurate in defining every little details of my case, without a single error. Within 2 weeks, he made considerable advances in my case, collaborating with consulting lawyers. Every time I called his office, he talked to me if he was available, and if he was not, he got back to me immediately. All my emails were received and answered in a timely manner. Also, his office staff was very professional and more than courteous. They very awesome ! They always conveyed my messages to him timely and they weren't rude like my previous atty's staff. It is my understanding that Mr. Salina exclusively practices family law and when you have cancer, I think the right thing to do is to go to an oncologist, not a generalist.
