Bonnie Sattawhite and the entire team at Martinez Legal did a fantastic job filing my divorce. I was kept informed, advised of all of my rights and options, and I truly felt listened to. The client portal made it easy to pay invoices and download documents. I could not be happier with my experience and highly recommend Bonnie!

This legal team is the absolute best! I hired them for my divorce and my ex’s attorney was pretty difficult to deal with at times. But they always kept their cool and were 1000% professional. They also helped to keep me calm when I would get frustrated with him. I would highly recommend them to anyone going through a divorce. You will be kept informed at all times and they make sure to explain the process thoroughly. I appreciate Bonnie and Marci’s patience and will be using them when I update my will after our divorce is finalized.

Marci is amazing at what she does. Our case was super difficult with A LOT of moving pieces. We were previously with another Attorney, and felt like we were getting nowhere with our case. We were able to locate Marci and despite of Covid 19 hitting us out of the blue we resolved our situation in less time than when Covid was not a factor in the case with prior attorney. My husband and I are very pleased with the service provided by Marci, Minerva, and Richard. They make an amazing team and respond to their clients as soon as possible, kept us in the loop with every step and continued to provide us with what was the best for our children and situation. God has blessed us with putting Marci and her team in outr path and we are extremely grateful!!

Marci and her team were diligent, kind, supportive and efficient while handling my divorce. It was such a painless process! She was successful in getting what I was asking for in the property settlement after guiding me through mediation. She and her team are amazing! I am so thankful for the recommendation by another well respected attorney. So happy that I hired her!

Marci has been such an amazing attorney throughout my child custody modification process. From the beginning she was honest, thorough and kind, and not to mention completely transparent and professional. Marci truly cares about her clients and their families. I would recommend her and her team to anyone in the area. She's a 10/10!

Filing for a divorce is such a challenging experience to say the least, but the support I received from Marci Martinez from day one has been nothing but the best. I have nothing but great things to say about Marci. She was sympathetic and kind, but most importantly she was extremely knowledgeable, professional and confident. Any time I reached out to her office with a question or concern, she or her staff responded in a timely manner. I highly recommend Marci, she has your best interests at heart.
