About:
I have 25 years experience in the legal field as a law clerk, judicial clerk, legal intern and attorney. Since 2000, I've had my own private law practice which has been a general law practice in the past. In the last several years, I have limited my practice areas to certain legal fields. Now approximately 95% of my practice is focused on divorce and family law.

"My nephew's ex-wife attempted to claim a family inheritance he received during his marriage to her, a foreign company he owned, and even two properties abroad that our family owned before they met and that never belonged to him. She also presented an altered version of an old will from our country to get revenge on him, trying to seize all his money for his infidelity. This attorney reviewed every detail and requested an expert analysis that proved these lies and manipulation. The judge denied his claims and kept his assets abroad. I would hire him a thousand times over. Thank you, sir!"

"My divorce was complicated, and my ex-husband was determined to keep everything. Mr. Martell handled every detail of my case thoroughly and intelligently. Thanks to his hard work, sound advice, preparation, and experience, we ultimately reached a fair settlement. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable divorce attorney. My ex-husband's attempt to punish and humiliate me in court, take all my money, and keep me from seeing my children ultimately failed because he refused to give up. Thank you."

"My case involved the inability to see my children, a lot of money, and, unfortunately, infidelity on my part. My ex-wife was a spiteful woman, so she wanted to take everything and take away my rights to my children. Attorney Martell acted with great knowledge, experience, and persistence. I now have the right to shared visitation and custody with my children. He ensured that my legal rights to my children were respected and enforced. I recommend him 100%."

"I travel a lot for work. My ex claimed I abandoned her and my family. She was furious and resentful, and demanded all my accounts. She also made false accusations of hiding money abroad with the help of a so-called expert, but this lawyer was brilliant in his response. He refuted all her arguments with real evidence before the judge. He managed to save most of my retirement. He also completely debunked the ridiculous claims made by my ex-wife and her dishonest lawyer about hidden international bank accounts. In the end, I got a fair judgment I could live with. He was also very well prepared during the court hearings and mediation."

"My ex-husband, in our divorce, refused to pay child support. He also demanded that I move out. He demanded 50/50 visitation, even though he had little interest in seeing the children, except perhaps a couple of days every other weekend. Attorney Matt Martell was able to protect my legal interests, curb my ex-husband's verbal and emotional abuse, and obtain a solid settlement for both of us. My finances are safe. I no longer have to worry about my ex-husband's harassment. Mr. Martell has extensive knowledge of family law cases. He is also courteous and very professional."
