I happned to obtain Roy's services after trying and paying other attorneys; my matter was simple. Other attorneys I attempted to use prior weren't reliably faithful in communication nor as knowledgeable as Roy for my situation. I was so fortunate to have obtained Roy. Roy was so clear in communication, mindful of the process, always made me aware about the matters both in in mediation as well as all costs every step of the way. Words cannot express how stellar, professional, compassionate, and kind Roy provided me; moreover the knowledgeable-based expertise Roy possessed to me was above and beyond others: Roy made the difference for me, but also for my family. Blessed and grateful I am. Thank goodness, thank you, Roy.

I consulted with Roy when my marriage had become significantly strained, in order to explore various "what if" scenarios. Roy was very knowledgeable RE: divorce law, with a focus on collaborative divorce. He understood that I loved my wife and kids very much and respected that I still hoped at that point to save my marriage. He was supportive of me efforts early in the process, to reconcile with my wife as we attended couples counseling, trying to work through our marital issues. My spouse eventually discontinued counseling. My case eventually became high conflict and contentious, with my spouse unfortunately refusing a collaborative pathway, so I am not able to comment on Roy's handling of the collaborative process. Nonetheless, in the scope of our work together, Roy was extremely professional. He always promptly answered my questions and empathetically addressed my fears. He respected where I was at mentally/emotionally in the process and I never felt like he was out to make busy work, just to increase revenues. When he recognized that a collaborative divorce process was not in the cards, he quickly arranged a seamless transition with a capable colleague who could do mediation and/or litigation. I highly recommend him especially for cases with couples that can maintain at least a modicum of rationality, civility and are able to focus on the long-term wellbeing of family members through the divorce process.

I was referred to Roy's office through my employer's employee assistance program when I requested help with my failing marriage. I really appreciated that Roy had made his practice part of this program. I think it really demonstrates his objective of helping couples work through the divorce process in a collaborative way. Such a better approach for all involved, especially the kids, than some of the other attorneys I consulted with before hiring Roy.

Received excellent advise on the question of Domicile with respect to Washington state Divorce Law. Very professional. Would highly recommend.

Roy Martin was contacted requesting his potential representation of one of my clients. Mr. Martin returned my call within a very short period of time on the same day. He provided other referral sources as he was unable to represent my client. It was refreshing to have a rapid, concise, and professional response to my request.

I hired Roy Martin to assist me with my divorce, and my experience with him couldn't have been better. He was consistently fast, efficient, and clear, all very important attributes in an attorney. He is focused on resolving issues and moving the case toward a speedy, fair resolution. He is also compassionate, another great attribute for a family law attorney. I'm very thankful I found him, and recommend him very highly.

I contacted Roy Martin about starting the process of my divorce and his compassionate approach actually helped my wife and I to work through the problems in our marriage and eventually this process actually led us to be able to save our marriage. We had both been divorced previously and I am fairly certain that a more typical approach of signing me up as a client and rushing forward would have ultimately led to our getting divorced. Instead he gave us some calm advice in an unhurried and well thought out way that allowed us to really examine our relationship and save our marriage. So this may be an unusual review but I think it reflects well on Mr. Martin that he really cared about helping us more than he cared about signing us up as clients and getting a retainer. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a divorce, his calm and caring demeanor really helped to reduce the stress of our situation and make real progress on moving forward.

Sadly he wasn't taking any more court cases but he was incredibly knowledgeable and still took the time to help me and point me in the right direction. I walked out of a 30 minute meeting feeling quite prepared on what I was dealing with and needed to do for the well being of my child. Great attorney and very ethical attitude.

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!

I've worked with several attorneys over the years for post-divorce problems, and they all had their pros and cons. Last year when my ex tried to take me to court to eliminate his child support obligation, reduce his child support debt by 90%, and change our children's schedule, I hired an attorney who shortly thereafter stopped practicing. Then I was given Roy's name by a friend. Roy is the best attorney I've worked with - he is kind and sincere, as well as helpful and very knowledgeable. As he believes strongly in mediation and communication, he worked very hard to get my children's father and I to sit down together. He was also realistic about options and helped me be clear about my interests for modifying the paperwork. In the end, we did not have to go to court for resolution, the father's financial obligations were kept intact as law specified, yet were able to compromise on the schedule. I highly recommend Roy because of his integrity, his hard work ethic, and his effectiveness!

Many thanks to Roy for his professionalism, guidance and support through a very challenging time. Roy was very thorough in his approach and knowledgeable in providing sound advice and recommendations. His responsiveness, follow up and ability to work around my challenging schedule was incredible and very much appreciated. I don’t believe we could have moved to a settlement agreement and parenting plan as quickly and effectively without him. I strongly recommend Roy to anyone dealing with family divorce matters.

Roy helped us with a 3rd party custody of our disabled nephew. It has been a complete pleasure to work with Roy. He was able to put together a great plan that both my wife and I felt comfortable with. He also listened to desires for the case, such as attorney fees and child support, and gave us sound advice on what our options were and likely outcomes. Sometimes this advice was not what we wanted to hear, but he did not want to waste time and our money on issues that we could not win. The case he built for us was so strong that in court when it was Roy's turn to state our case, the Commissioner said it was not necessary; that the paperwork more than explained our side of the issue. The Commissioner then ruled in our favor. Since then my former sister in law has filed various paperwork reference our nephew. Each time Roy did not seem panicked (unlike my wife and I), he quickly formulated a new game plan and gave us a list of items to work on. And each time the rulings have gone in our favor. My former sister in law seems determined to continue this legal battle, but we are confident that with Roy as our attorney, we will have no problem maintaining custody of our nephew.
