I have interacted with Matt on numerous occasions; he has always been a pleasure to work with. Matt is consistently kind, well-spoken and articulate. Matt, and his staff, are very timely and communicate well. Many years of solid experience makes Matt an excellent choice in his field.

I would highly recommend Matt Martell to friends and family. I always felt like he was looking out for my best interest, he always responded promptly and I never was wondering what was going on. He is a very intelligent person and I appreciated all of his hard work. His office is in a beautiful location and I was always greeted with a warm welcoming. Thanks again Matt!

Mr. Martell is the most professional and trustworthy Lawyer I have ever encountered. His hard work and dedication to my family's case has paid off with a huge victory. The entire time I used his services, he showed how knowledgeable and great communicator he is. His tactics are very well thought out and always has large amounts of backup to prove his case right. If it wasn’t for him, my family would be separated right now. His devotion to his clients is personal.

I would recommend Mr. Martell to anyone. I thought his rates were more than reasonable, he and his staff were very professional and courteous. Although my case was very stressful for me I know that it was that much more stressful for Matthew but he didn't buckle under the pressure he was very calm and collected, just another reason he was the best attorney I've ever had. Looking for someone to work hard for you this is your guy!

Without a doubt the most genuinely caring guy. So intelligent and a great listener. He answered all of my questions and really has an abundance of knowledge. He was really great working with me because I was just a bag of stress but he was very patient and he helped me calm down. I learned so much from him and he has helped me so much and I will return to him if I have any future cases. I would definitely recommend Mr. Martell.

I called around when faced with a difficult situation and am thankful to have spoken with Matt Martell. He listened to what I had to say and advised me in non-legalese, making it understandable for the common man. When I had questions, he answered them and when I called, he responded. If for some reason Matt could not call me quickly, his staff always did. Matt explained the fees to me and I was never caught off guard or surprised. I highly recommend giving Matt Martell an opportunity.

In the costliest negotiation meeting of my life, Matthew Martell made absolutely no effort to improve the terms of my divorce settlement. He made not a single counteroffer. Only because I spoke up for myself in the meeting did I get a reduction in alimony. This does NOT fit the ABA's mandate to act with "zeal in advocacy upon the client's behalf." After the meeting, he wanted me to give him a 5-rating. He raised his rates twice. But his bills had impressive details. Definitely would not hire.

These comments are neither fair nor accurate, but my response is constrained by legal and ethical obligations. I can't reveal confidential information regarding what happened at this mediation under the Florida Statutes. I'm sorry this client is unhappy.

Horrible experience. Was always too busy to do the important things but always managed to spend the retainers as fast as possible. Work products were average at best and he is incredibly condensending. I ended up firing him.
