Excellent communication and works well with clients
Saved clients from negative outcomes in their cases
Highly recommended and trustworthy attorney
Mr. Martinez is a gem. If you are tired of pretentious lawyers who only present big but are so immersed in their finances and in maintaining a fake reputation that they often forget their job is not merely a job but a public trust, don't look any further. You want Matthew on your side. People only tell lies when the truth is disagreeable to them, or frightens them, or to cover sin. Matthew is the most honest, on point and confident attorney I've encountered. He has been both a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney for several years. His honesty and knowledge of law combined with his straightforward style in speaking the truth and presenting the truth, scares the life out of some people. He is worth every penny he earns, and still his prices are much more reasonable than most attorneys with his level of experience. He is the man of law who truly helps the justice takes place. No BS when dealing with him. He knows his job and he does it RIGHT. Listen to his advice and know that you're in good hands. I admire this attorney so much and I highly recommend him.
