Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Matt Martell represented my cousin in her divorce. He was very professional and polite at all times and was also very prepared at the mediation and both hearings. He worked very hard and persistently fought for her at all stages in the case. He gets things done consistently, effectively, yet diplomatically. He was not overly aggressive, combative, rude, insulting, and arrogant like her husband’s attorney who was a total jerk. He seems to understands that with disputes in life, generally speaking, you get more with honey than with vinegar. The judge and the mediator both seemed know him well and also seemed to like him. He was straight with my cousin about what she could expect at mediation as far as the settlement and it turned out that he was right on point. I appreciate that he did not mislead her about what she could expect to get or play with her emotions to extend the divorce or create more fights (as the other lawyer did with her husband).

While I am not an avid reviewer, there was no possible way I could not share my rarified experience with Mr. Martell and his law office. It is not very often one receives the kind and wise information that I have from the Law Offices of Matthew Z. Martell, P.A. I can not emphasis more highly, not only what an exceptional Attorney Mr. Martell is, but underscore his kind, patient and generous spirit. Attorney's are often stereotyped. I don't know about that, only that if there is a negative stereotype of his profession, he has debunked it on every single level. In the world of psychotherapy, where I practice, I am highly aware of what brings people and how anxious or fearful they might be. Matt exemplifies this same sensitivity in assuaging clients fears, while providing exception legal advice. He is the kind of attormey that you hope to find, rare as that is. Do yourself a favor if you want more than just legal expertise and representation, but a caring and gentle experience toboot.
Matt did a great job! Couldn't ask for a quicker, better, result. I highly recommend him.
After one conversation with Matt I knew I needed to hire him. He had solid game plan and played it out to perfection. One of the best choices I ever made.
We found Matt and his staff when we needed a lawyer for the second time to revisit visitation, child support and alimony. WOW! We couldn’t believe how easily accessible he was and how effective he is. My wife’s attorney suddenly became agreeable and ready to work with us once Matt got involved in my case. All we can say is, “why didn’t we find Matt sooner!” Thanks, Matt and the staff at Law Offices of Matt Martell!
Matt made my unfortunate circumstances easier to bear. He listened, was patient and showed compassion when others did not. Matt was always available when I needed him and answered all my questions. Matt didn’t drag things out and really considered my financial limitations. I highly recommend Matt Martell
