Family Lawyer & Mediator.

Since 2007, Ms. Martinez has dedicated her practice 100% to out of court resolutions for couples and families transitioning through divorce and separation. Her focus is finding solutions to today's legal and family questions, with an eye an achieving the goals for the future. Having practiced in family law since 1998, Ms. Martinez has seen the hardships, destruction, and pain of contested divorces and separations in the court system, and understands from personal and professional expeirence the defficiencies of the family court system. Family matters should be handled first by the families themselves. Only when the family is unable to resolve for themselves, should a judge make decisions for them. Who best knows your children? YOU. Who best knows your financial goals and concerns? YOU. Who should have a voice in your financial and family future? YOU. Ms. Martinez and her professional resources work to empower people to make informed and well-reasoned decisions in their divorce or separation.
