Our firm was established in 1991 by the late Eugene J. Martinez, a State Bar Certified Criminal Law Specialist, and has been a trusted name in the community ever since. After Eugene's passing in 2020, his son, Mario J. Martinez, took over the practice, continuing the legacy of excellence and client-focused service. Mario holds a J.D. from Monterey College of Law and a B.A. in Music Industry from California State University, Chico. Prior to becoming an attorney, Mario worked closely with his father, assisting with legal research and motion drafting, and learning firsthand the values that built the firm's reputation. Mario continues that legacy today with integrity, professionalism, and a zealous commitment to protecting his clients' rights. He serves both new clients and many who previously worked with his father-ensuring trusted legal representation across generations.
