Hector is a knowledgeable, experienced, and professional attorney. Our son was facing a felony traffic violation. Hector Martinez (in collaboration with Rick Perez) was the third firm we hired in our pursuit for legal representation. His initial attorney although knowledgeable, personable, professional, and solid was not familiar with the inner workings of Lake County. He was also out of area making it difficult to coordinate meetings with our son. It became apparent we needed to hire a well networked attorney in the immediate area with a proven track record. The second law firm was everything you would want in an attorney ...... on paper. Superb marketing skills, humble beginnings, a hidden gem. A single visit with our son had our family running for the hills. From our very first conversation Hector was a breath of fresh air. He was knowledgeable, familiar, well networked, and patient. There is a method to his madness even if it wasn't revealed till the very end. I will say there were challenges in communication stemming from COVID which resulted in a lapse in communication for weeks at a time and delayed meetings. I truly believe without these unforeseen medical emergencies we would have had an exceptional experience. With that being said our son walked away with the minimum possible sentence. Without question if you need an attorney who is familiar with Lake County ... Hector Martinez and Rick Perez are hands down the best of the best. We paid a flat rate and although Hector and Rick were on the higher end ... private legal council is an investment. His rate is conducive to his experience and time. If you want an attorney who is familiar with Lake County, knowledgeable, thinks outside of the box, and well networked this is the firm for you! read more
