Law Offices of John F. Martin, PC

Mr. Martin was very courteous and able to meet with me the same day that I called. I was up against a very tight deadline and needed some counsel on leaving a firm that I’ve been with for many years. He shared with me some counsel that was very upfront, though frustrating to know. He also took the time to briefly review the employment package that I needed to sign (which was just a few pages).
I found him to be experienced, knowledgeable and extremely courteous. I enjoyed talking with him very much. My case did not require any legal recourse but left me knowing I’d checked into things.
I informed Mr. Martin about the review of him quickly greeting and leaving at reception. I had been ready for a fast entrance when he arrived and was prepared with my paperwork and questions, and ready to go. Upon entering his office, it made complete sense to me. His family is Navy, as is mine. I’m very used to being prepared and immediately following or walking into a meeting. It’s just efficiency.
He seemed quite good at getting to the root points of what can or can’t be pursued. I would certainly recommend a meeting and am sure he would offer good counsel on pursuing a case, or not.

The bar assn. referred me to Georgelle Cuevas to discuss my disability claim.
Ms. Cuevas was very professional, courteous and informative.
Highly recommend!

I’ve never really needed any assistance with an attorney. So i wasn’t sure how to find the right one. I did a google search in my area. i did a little digging and i came across John Martin. I called his office and they answered right away. The receptionist was very friendly. I explained my situation to her. I told her i didn’t have much time, so she looked at the calendar and fit me in for a free consultation that day.
I was like wow!!! Free consultation. can’t go wrong with that.
I came in to their office later that day. Office was easy to find and there was a ton of parking. I went into the office and the same lady who answered my phone call was friendly and welcoming. I filled out a quick form and awaited my time with Mr. Martin.
i ran my situation down to Mr. Martin and he gave me a few pointers and commented on a few things. At the end of the day, i’m not sure if i got a lot out of the free consultation, but if i ever do need to hire an attorney. I will give John Martin a call.
Thank you

I had an unusually excellent experience with this law firm. I talked briefly with Mr. Martin and worked more intensively with Ms. Georgelle Heintell regarding some legal and financial issues related to my retirement benefits.
Before I found their office I had struck out with all the attorneys I’d been referred to by the Nolo Press referral system; the Alameda County Bar Association actually told me they had no attorneys that could help me. But the Contra Costa County Bar Association set me up right away with an appointment with Ms. Heintell.
When I called to confirm and ask a few questions, I first spoke to Mr. Martin who showed interest in my problem, provided some relevant information and then suggested I email my documentation to Ms. Heintell. She was extremely responsive and considerate, read all of my materials, did her own research, and gave me the legal advice I needed to move forward.
I am extremely pleased and grateful for her help in clarifying some difficult financial and legal issues and will definitely seek her representation and guidance for any future legal concerns.

We visit this place from a referral of the bar association. The consultation was good. The front desk lady is not too friendly but the lawyer was nice and very helpful.
