Texas

I am Herman Martinez, the founding attorney of The Martinez Law Firm, a dedicated criminal defense firm based in Houston. With over 25 years of experience in the legal field, I serve as a valuable resource for individuals facing criminal charges in Texas. My background includes roles as Chief Prosecutor for the Harris County District’s office and a City of Houston Judge. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the criminal justice system from both sides of the courtroom, which uniquely positions me to defend my clients effectively.

My peers hold me in high regard within the legal community. I am actively involved in several associations, including the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association, Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, Fifth Circuit Bar Association, Harris County Bar Association, Hispanic Bar Association of Houston, and the National College for DUI Defense. My legal acumen has been recognized with a “Superb” rating by Avvo.com, and I was nominated as a “Houston Top Lawyer” by H-Texas Magazine consecutively from 2008 to 2011.

I am committed to upholding the rights of my clients and ensuring they receive the best possible defense. If you need a lawyer who will tirelessly advocate on your behalf, I encourage you to contact The Martinez Law Firm today.
