Good guy, easy to talk to. Affordable.

Great attorney, one of the best I've worked with. Roy is very experienced, very efficient, and was clear throughout the process. He is also compassionate, a truly important attribute in divisive family law matters. I recommend him very highly.

Not only was Roy courteous and professional throughout my case but he was also determined to get the best results possible. He definitely went above and beyond what he needed to do to ensure results. I would recommend him to anyone because he is truly amazing at what he does and a great person to work with as well. Thank you again!

An incredible, wonderful experience worth ten times more.

I retained Roy Martin to represent me in my divorce and child custody case. Roy was upfront about the potential cost and proceedings as my case dealt with a military member. From the beginning Roy listened to my concerns about my husband and addressed them one by one. He was companionate but realistic in what could or would happen. Roy was through in putting together the court documents needed. There were a few hiccups due to my husband being in another state and military, but not at Roy’s fault. Roy made those as painless as possible. As the ball got rolling in this Roy was quick and aggressive on getting court dates. My husband is a highly volatile and contentious person. Roy dealt with him calmly and smoothly. My divorce and custody was finalized sooner than anticipated which I believe was due to Roy’s diligence in the matter. Such was that Roy even researched the states laws that I’m moving to and worded my parenting plan accordingly so that the probability of me going to court again was lessened. Roy took a difficult time and helped me handle it with dignity and grace. I would recommend Roy 100% in all Family matters.

At a time when I needed it most, I found great service and comfort with Keating & Lyden. I was referred to Mr. Lyden by a good friend of mine, and during a very stressful situation Mr. Lyden helped me through it all. If you're having legal troubles This is the place to call! I've recommended Mr. Lyden to all of my friends, two of which are using his services currently, and we are all thrilled with our experiences.

I recently had a consultation with Mr Martin and was extremely pleased. He took his time to ensure all my questions were answered, all scenarios covered and gave me multiple things to think about relating to my situation. I felt very comfortable and confident with Mr Martin in that his intentions were in my best interest. He was able to offer excellent coaching suggestions, references to other professionals that I need to engage for my situation and overall sound, logical advice. I absolutely will retain Mr Martin should I find my situation requires so. Strongly suggest meeting with him for your legal needs to see if he is a fit.

I have known Roy since February of 2013. I can safely say that he is one of the most educated, polished, refined and cultivated people that I have ever met, with a sense of justice and compassion. When I met him, I was going through a difficult time. My husband’s departure shattered my world away in this strange country, and took away my ability to trust in people and left me with little hope for the future. I have been in an extreme state of depression for a long time. I isolated myself from the outside world, immersed in my grief and couldn’t extricate myself from it. I couldn’t tell my parents and friends what happend. I had not listened to them, and came to America for love. How could I return to them now? Roy was very generous with his help and advice during this period. If I needed to talk, he would listen calmly and patiently, and yet would also respect my wish for privacy. Every time I saw him, he was always polite and courteous. He did everything with a rigorous, meticulous and dedicated attitude. His empathy was unfailing, even with experiences alien to his own. He has done a lot for me without any thought of reward. I am a very shy person, and although I always try to do right by others, I am not good at expressing my intentions and feelings, especially given the fact that English is not my first language. Therefore, I rarely expressed my gratitude to him. When I finally told him that I was very grateful for everything he had done for me and hoped to have a chance to thank him, he told me that I didn’t need to do anything for him, as long as I loved to pass the love to people who needed help. Thank you Roy! Thank you for your help, thank you for all you have done for me. I will pass your love to others with a a grateful heart, whether at this moment or in the future, either here or in the distance. Please accept my most sincere wishes for all the very best for your life!

Recently I engaged Mr. Martin to represent me where my ex-wife was attempting to take shared custody of my son. Although Mr. Martin prefers to avoid court and resolve issues collaboratively, previous efforts toward constructive communication with my ex-wife have never been effective. Unfortunately, proceeding to court was my last and only option. From the beginning, Mr. Martin listened and understood the details of my case. Preparing to have my case heard, we spent a lot of time going over my declarations. Once we were in court, it became clear to me how important this effort was. Going into this, Mr. Martin was very up front about the potential costs, and the reality that it is not possible to be certain about the court's decision. Although I felt we had a good case based on my ex-wife's actions, this left me with no false perceptions about the outcome. At least I knew what I was getting into. When the time came for Mr. Martin to present my side of the situation in court, he was skilled and confident. Both in communicating my position, and presenting evidence to the court. In the end I am very happy with my decision to fight for retaining equally shared custody of my son. Throughout the process Mr. Martin has been competent, professional, and completely honest about all aspects of my case, there have been no unwelcome surprises. In any aspect of family law, I would recommend Mr. Martin without hesitation.

Roy was my wife's attorney and handled some child support and visitation issues for her. We were very impressed with his legal knowledge and meticulous attention to detail but were even more impressed by his compassion, integrity, and sensible approach to a very confusing and difficult situation. His focus was always on the best interests of our children instead of how we could stick it to the non-cusotidal parent or how he could make more money by doing so. When I later needed legal counsel to help deal with my ex-spouse we hired Roy again and he once again exceeded our expectations. His fees were reasonable, he was not wasteful with the funds in our trust account, and the money we paid Roy literally bought us peace of mind. You won't find a better attorney anywhere!

My long standing relationship (15 plus years) with Roy began with a referral from a close friend. Roy's knowledge and expertise are highly valued. He has represented my family in divorce preceedings as well as family law and has become our choice for attorney and advisor. It is a treat to see really "good Lawyering" in action, in court and out, He is always prepared, and he is truly the voice of reason. It has been pleasure to know competence and integrity are a phone call away
