Mr. Martinez is an excellent criminal defense attorney.? He is a proficient, caring, and knowledgeable attorney. He was able to convince the DA to drop my charges after taking a 20-hour course. I'm very grateful to have Mr. Martinez help me resolve my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great attorney.

Mr. Martinez is a highly skilled and experienced attorney. His skillsets and knowledge of criminal law were invaluable in my complex case. He helped to ease my fears by thoroughly communicating the process and address my overwhelming number of questions and concerns! I always felt reassured of his ability to navigate the system that resulted in the best possible outcome under the circumstances. Lastly, and most important to myself, he provided me with a realistic position on the case based on his own professional opinion and never moved forward unless you were completely on board as well. I?m very thankful for his services and confident you will be as well!

Alejandro was awesome. He was very clear and concise when explaining my options. He was able to get my felony case resolved after a 12 hour class with no probation and without it being on my record. He dealt with me directly 100% of the time (I was never pawned off on assistant). His fee was more than reasonable especially considering the results. I would recommend Alejandro to anyone who needs attorney without any reservations. If I ever find myself in trouble again he will be the first call I make. He was the only bright spot in my legal saga.

I wanted to deal with a lawyer directly and not thru their assistant. I hired Alejandro because he personally returned my call and I am sure glad I did. I had never been in trouble with the law before and he explained the process and my available options. He was able to negotiate with the DA to get my charges dismissed after a 12 hour class. On top of being a fantastic attorney, Alejandro was very reasonably priced. Trust me; if you have to go through the legal system, you want Alejandro in your corner. He will keep you informed about the process and be honest with you about what kind of results you can expect. I plan on never getting trouble agin but if I do I would call Alejandro immediately. I feel 100% confident in recommending him to friends & family because of the results he achieved with my case and the feeling of comfort I had knowing he was fighting for me.

I have only the best things to say about my experience. Alejandro was always super helpful and professional. I felt respected and heard at all times and would definitely recommend to anyone. I truly feel that Alejandro put his all into listening to me and helping as best he could. I looked into various other companies before making my decision and as soon as I started speaking to him, I could immediately feel the difference in care and professionalism. I never felt like just another number or client. Alejandro tried his best to be as reachable, understanding and flexible as possible within his means. Thank you so much for everything!

First and foremost, I just want to take this time to say THANK YOU!!! Thank you Alejandro for helping me out when I was stuck in what I say has been one of the most stressful times of my life. You really outdid yourself from the very beginning. I found myself needing a lawyer and of course I went and did some research beforehand and after reading this firms reviews I just knew I had to go with him. When I reached out to him, it was after hours. It was about 9pm or later when I decided to write him and I was honestly not expecting a call or anything that day. To my surprise he called me within minutes after I reached out, and he got to work immediately. From the very beginning he was very attentive, he explained everything to me through and through and wanted to know what it was that I was expecting out of this whole thing. My case was a DWI case and I just did not want that on my record. My courts kept getting postponed due to covid so it was nerve wrecking for me. He reached out even if my court was far away just to keep me in the loop of things. Fast forward to a few days before my court date... he worked his magic and they ended up dropping the DWI charge and I was extremely happy. I felt like I could breathe again, I felt a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It may not be a big deal to some but to me, having that dropped was a huge deal. I really did not want that on my record. He got exactly what I was wanting. Of course I still have some community service and probation to do but hey, that beats a DWI charge in my eyes. If you?re stuck in a messy situation and find yourself needing a lawyer and If you?re like me and do your research... then you too, will see he is a great lawyer and will fight for you. He?ll do anything and everything in his power to get you the result you want. So thank you Alejandro. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!!

Alejandro Martinez was recommended to us in Travis County and was extremely helpful from day one, beginning with our free consultation. Alejandro's goal for my partner's case was dismissal and he achieved just that; dismissal in less than one month upon hiring him. He explained the process thoroughly and kept us updated. He is a former prosecutor and has experience/insight that many other defense attorneys do not. Very professional and offers payment plans. Do not hesitate, you want Alejandro Martinez as your defense lawyer.

2020 has been awkward and difficult for most of us and it will be a year to remember. In my case I had my first real life mistake and needed legal help for the first time in my life. That?s when I came across Alejandro Martinez. Since the first time we spoke I could genuinely tell and feel he was really listening to everything I was saying and could feel he would do his best and help me get back up from my first real life slip. Alejandro never tried to scare me about what could happen if I didn?t hire him nor he ever tried to promise me everything I wanted for me to hire him. He was always straight up and honest and laid out where I was, what I had to do exactly and step by step so I could end up with a positive outcome, and was always available for questions I had, always. I tried my best to do my part and everything exactly as he adviced me to and he got my case DISMISSED. If anyone I know ever needs legal help I?m definitely referring them to Alejandro Martinez, definitely. Alejandro thank you for everything man I?m forever grateful for everything you did for me.

When I was faced with legal issues, I called around a few firms and was a bit confused as I never had to seek out legal assistance. After speaking with Mr. Martinez for my initial phone consultation, something told me I should proceed with his firm. He came off very personable, and he in fact was when we met face to face. My case was brief, and he landed me a dismissal. I?m beyond grateful and highly recommend him. If I ever have to seek legal assistance again, I?d reach out to Mr. Martinez in a heart beat.

I've had to deal with a few lawyers in my past mistakes and I've made my peace with that, but I wish to God I had had the chance to know Mr. Martinez back then. I was certain this new case would send me back to prison, but Mr. Martinez had my cases all but wiped away. He was always prompt in answering my calls and texts, he was very respectful when discussing the details, and he worked with me on a payment plan(i am not a rich man). It would be reckless of me to not reccommend Mr. Alejandro Martinez. He went above and beyond the outcome i hoped for and i have no doubt he could help you too. I hope I never get in trouble again, but if I do, I know who I'm calling!

I am thoroughly impressed and will recommend Alejandro Martinez to anyone and everyone. I was facing a difficult situation and had no idea how to reach a resolution that achieved what I considered to be the best outcome given the circumstances. My interaction with Alejandro began with a phone consultation and after an extremely short and inept, confused, brief summary, on my part, of what I facing, he understood fully the entirety of what I was trying to relay, took control and began working on my case immediately. Throughout the entirety of the process, his professionalism coupled with his determination to ensure I received a fair deal ultimately resulted in my case being dismissed. So much better than I ever thought possible! When I was ready to give up and accept the first offer just to get it over with, he refused to accept it, explained to me in detail my options and helped me to push through with patience and strength. While seeing him interact with others in the court room, I could see he is respected, that his peers and colleagues trust him, and that he is of well repute. He is kind, gentle, understanding, and exudes sophistication as well as "being down to earth." In my heart, he will always hold a special place in my heart and mind as he is a HUGE part of my testimony and change of life story. Thank you, Alejandro. I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate you.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
