Mgr. Peter Langel

I worked with Martin on 3 separate occasions. Judging from my experience of working with Martin, I can easily state that he is reliable and principle oriented. He will fight fight for you and defend your rights. By using his unique knowledge of the law and sense of creativity I felt very secure a...nd had always the feeling that I get the top treatement.

Gabriel Ward

Great lawyer. Martin has encyclopedic knowledge of Slovak law and has an unique sense for recognizing what risks are worth to take and what risks are not acceptable. He can rely on his advise as he is guided by principles, not money earning at any cost.

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.
