To anyone who has been in search of a damn good attorney ? you can end your search rt here * rt now. Sam Martinez is hands down the best there is. I say this because majority of lawyers don't put there heart into; not just you, but the whole of you such as you and your family. It was as if he literally put his self in my shoes and his kiddos in my kiddos shoes. And he paved a way for me and my children to be a family again. When everything and every one was against me. And the evidence and or my past history w cps was piling up against me. And I saw no silver lining in my most darkest of storm clouds. God answered my prayers and blessed me with an amazing attorney Mr. Sam Martinez..He was my second attorney after a year of fighting cps. I wish he would of been my lawyer the entire time. But I was blessed to have him when I got him because he was also my criminal lawyer as well. So here him and I are in two diff court rooms all in the same day or week time frame..and I'm think n to self "no way this man understand me and my situation ?? I bet he thinks I'm a complete idiot cuz who gets there self in situations as awfully as mine was? I wasnt everything that was being said about me and he knew it..He fought for me when I couldnt for myself. All though it had been years 14 to be exact since I had a felony. The fact remained I was and or still had priors and had been down twice before when I was younger. At first the state wanted to give me twenty years for pocs w intent to deliver a little more then a gram of meth..I was floored and shocked to the core of my being. I knew probation wasnt a possibility. He diligently worked my case and after 9 months of pleadings. I signed for 5 years TDC..And while I was in county waiting to pull chain. I still had him as my family attorney in ref to my cps case. He came to see me in jail. He was my only visitor and more loyal then any blood at the time. He told me not to worry he would make sure my children were safe and to send there letters to him and he made sure they got them. He didn't have to do that but he did. He didn't have to do a lot of the things he did for me and the kids best interest but he did..He didn't have to pick up the pieces a prior attorney I had before him left behind, but he did! But here's the part that wrote his name on the tablet of my heart and the hearts of my kids..He hand wrote me short letters to every unit I was transferred to while in TDC..Who does that these days? Who in the middle of there day stops and sais " hey how are you hope all is well and this is what's going on out here but don't worry etc etc etc" nobody does that, , but Sam did and that's why hes the best. He don't half ass you to death. He don't sugar coat things cuz he just wants to get paid. He gets paid way more in blessings then any dollar amount set on any table any day of the week. Because his heart is right and hes an attorney for the people. I did 7 months on that 5 and got out and we went back at it w CPS in family court. They wanted to take my rights but he didn't let them. He did what no other lawyer could do and was court appointed at that. He fought against the state because he knew in his heart of hearts what they were trying to do and it wasnt right. Sam is a winner and he made sure as my lawyer that I was and a winner too..If it wasn't for him I would still be in prison and I would not be with my kids. He is a wonderful person and the best attorney you could ever have. I have more respect for this man then he will ever know. And I will be thanking him until my last breath. The state striped me down to a naked I couldn't fathom. Sam, wasnt having it and he went to batt for me and he will for you too! Just be honest and I promise you that you won't be disappointed by retaining him as your lawyer. Sam if your reading this please know I will never forget you and my kids said "thanks for giving them there Mama back" God Bless You and your Family AlwaysS huh Shannon Hudson Torrez

Martinez was an excellent attorney. He was very upfront and honest and answered all our questions. He represented my husband and saved him from getting a life sentence. We would suggest anyone to hire him.

He repesented my son in a murder trial in McLennan county. Never questioned on witness, was not present when the district attorneys prosecuting the case came to talk to my son at the county jail. Lied to my son and our entire family for 2 years stating if my son would plead guilty he would only be convicted of making a false statement and tampering with evidence. If not, he would get a life sentence. He coerced my son who has a learning disability into pleading guilty to show taking responsibility for what happened. My son had no previous felony convictions. Two other men were also charged in the same crime. One was a sexual offender and had previously served time in TDCJ. Needless to say, my son did receive a life sentence and the other two received 20 years. I truly do not know how he sleeps at night!!
