Testimonials:

“I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation regarding your handling of my DWI case. I didn't know you from Adam and called you only because a friend recommended you. I cannot fathom what you did above and beyond the call of duty to facilitate this conclusion of my case. Thanks again for all you did.”

Mr. Martinez is the most trustworthy attorney I have ever worked with. He understood the particulars involved with my case, and he never stopped fighting for me to get positive results. I know that no legal case is ever the same, and no verdict is guaranteed. However, the legal advice, counsel and assistance I received from Mr. Martinez and his firm are second to none. I whole-heartedly recommend him for anyone requiring legal help, no matter the charges.

Herman truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect of defending my case. He proved how experienced, knowlegable and extremely hardworking he is during the time he handled my case. He defended my case very aggressively and with amazing energy. His counsel was indespensable since my case involved making some tough decisions. Most of all he was able to give the best information, ultimately allowing me to decide what we should do. He's got over 15 yrs experience coupled with the energy of a younger lawyer. My case was eventually dismissed and I'm 100% positive that result would have been different with any other lawyer.

“Thank you so much, Herman, for your help in getting the bail amount down - that exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy to have you and Mario representing me, even more so after seeing and hearing some of these other (seemingly less professional) lawyers around the courts.”
