Nancy is an exceptional attorney who is strategic, diligent, thoughtful and caring. She is easy and pleasant to communicate with and she's always efficient with time. Nancy has always set clear expectations and meticulously guided me through every nuance. Dealing with domestic violence and custody issues can be stressful. Nancy's ability to stay calm and focused and her superb understanding of the law helped achieve great results and also gave me confidence and strength during the uncertain times.  I appreciate the work that she has done for me, and I highly recommend her. Nancy really cares about her clients and she goes above and beyond to achieve the best results! Nancy's team are incredibly nice people who are very good at what they do. Aaron has continually kept me updated on everything that was going on legally. He has been very responsive, kind, supportive and resourceful every time I reached out.

I hired Nancy to handle my divorce case. She explained clearly what to anticipate from the start and presented me with a clear roadmap. We are able to resolve the case with little conflict and the outcome is satisfactory. I would recommend her to anyone.

I just had a consult and had been told by a psychologist what I needed to look for and Aaron, one of the attorneys at the firm, immediately assessed the situation and recommended exactly what the psychologist recommended. Unfortunately, he was very honest and said they did not have the capacity to take on such a time intensive case at the moment. I appreciated the honesty because the last lawyer did absolutely nothing. Ignored emails and was unprepared. If you can get there early enough so they have time to prepare, what everyone experiences I experienced as well - they care and know how to act Aaron also recommended another attorney, which also showed how much he cared.

I had 1 very difficult family case and 1 divorce. My first case was the difficult one I was married to a man that was physically abusive and I had gotten pregnant by an ex while my husband was in jail for a domestic against me but I told my husband the baby was his for fear he would kill me which he had threatened lots of times. After the baby was born and i tried leaving him he again got physical with me and I couldn’t take it anymore and told him she wasn’t his and things got worse so I called the cops and he got arrested. While he was locked up I went to Nancy and she was so understanding and had to really do the work to get him out of my daughters life with no way of him being able to take her from me which Involved dna tests on both and just a lot of work but Eventually it worked out and I have full custody of my baby girl. The 2nd cAse was divorcing him which Took longer then the first case but not on her end it was alameda counties lack of judges. If you want an attorney who.not only cares but goes the extra mile for you then she’s your girl. This wonderful sweet caring woman and one of her assistance Aaron went above and beyond there job to help me with being successful in both cases. They answered every email within an hour of me sending it most of the time even quicker and if they didn’t have the answer to my question I guarantee it wasn’t long before they emailed me with the answer. I honestly don’t even have the words to say to truly express my gratitude to this law firm they honestly are angels from above. When u first meet her it’s so easy to talk to her as if you have known her forever. If I ever need an attorney again I will definitely be going to her.

Very trustworthy, easy to communicate with. Professional, well-organized, very responsive to questions and thorough with guidance. Nancy and her staff took an immense load of worry off my shoulders, when I needed my case to be done right. Thank you so much!

If you are looking for an honest, trustworthy, and passionate attorney to represent you, I highly recommend Nancy Martinez. Nancy was my attorney but she is more like my daughter! When I came to Nancy, I was overwhelmed with the local county government that was trying to take a Conservatorship over my finances and person and tell me what to do. I repeatedly told the county to shove off but they kept harassing me. When they did file a case against me, I went to Nancy and told Nancy what was happening and how fearful I was about the county meddling into my private affairs. Even though Conservatorships were not her area of practice, she patiently listened to me, consoled and comforted me, and assured me she will do everything possible for me. During the court hearing she was spectacular and was able to deliver the results I wanted. I cannot thank her enough. I hold her in high regard and most of all with deep admiration and affection. If you need a great, caring attorney, just pick up the phone and call her. Good luck with your case! Christa

I hired Nancy seven years ago when I was going through a very difficult divorce with my violent ex husband. Nancy was able to guide me through the process with the utmost care and compassion for my situation, making suggestions and offering guidance, but she ultimately helped me make decisions myself which made me stronger in the process. She really cares about her clients and doing the right thing for them. She will tell you exactly what the situation calls for in a clear and professional manner. She will research and find an answer for you if she doesn’t have one already. This left me with full confidence that Nancy helped me get the best outcome for my case. I’ve never met another attorney with more passion for her clients. Several years later I know I can call her for any advice and I recommend her to all of my friends who need an attorney.

Nancy is an extremely knowledgeable, competent attorney. She was my family law attorney after two previous attorneys and was by far the best. She's dedicated to her clients, will fight tooth and nail for your case. She gets the job done without pushing for more litigation, and prefers to mediate whenever possible. Nancy is by far the most honest family law attorney I've met. She cares about her clients and easily develops a good rapport with people. I highly recommend Nancy!

I hired Nancy to handle my divorce, and I'm very glad I did. My ex hired one of those very aggressive TV lawyers and while the process was stressful, I believe the outcome was the best that it could have been. Nancy gave me great advice to help come to a written agreement, and was very firm and professional when they wanted to squeeze every penny out of me.

NANCY M. MARTINEZ IS THE BEST FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY IN SILICON VALLEY! Here is why, I was divorcing a violent, narcissistic person who abused the court system and took every opportunity to attack me, my family and Nancy with frivolous motions and personal attacks. If it wasn't for NANCY M. MARTINEZ, I would have had a nervous breakdown dealing with this bully. She took so much heat in my case because she fought so hard for my young children and me, and she put the bully in his place. Thanks to Nancy, my kids and I are rebuilding our lives and growing together strongly. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Nancy, she taught me how to stand my ground and not be bullied by my ex any longer. She was never afraid to get in there and do what was right according to the law. Thank you Nancy for being the best attorney I could have ever wished for. My family and I are forever grateful To you!!!!
