Details
The owner of The Law Offices of Nancy M. Martinez, located in Palo Alto, the principal attorney Nancy M. Martinez serves the city of Palo Alto and Silicon Valley, in California.
Concentrating her practice on family law, she strives to provide holistic solutions for even her clients’ most complex legal problems involving:
- Child custody and support
- Divorce
- Domestic violence
- Property division
- Spousal support
Being a family-oriented person, Ms. Martinez understands the emotional damage a divorce or family issue can inflict on each member and their loved ones. Hence, she ensures to support her clients by providing them counsel on even nonlegal aspects of the case. She takes care to guide each of her clients through the process of getting out of an abusive relationship, helping them get settlements to recover from physical, emotional or financial damage.
Mindful about the expense of long-drawn litigation, Ms. Martinez tries to resolve issues through out-of-court settlements via strategic negotiations. However, when the situation demands, she does not desist from bringing out the fierce and aggressive litigator in her who does not back down from a tough legal battle before a judge or a jury.
Ms. Martinez was a U.S. History major at the University of California, Berkeley, from where she graduated with her Bachelor of Arts degree. She pursued law at the University of San Francisco School of Law and graduated with honors and a certificate of concentration in intellectual property law, in 2003.
Stepping into the professional legal arena as a paralegal, Ms. Martinez has covered more than 14 years of practicing law, gaining a loyal and satisfied clientele in the process. She has received a 10 out of 10 rating on Avvo, along with several positive reviews and endorsements from peers and clients through the platform. She holds memberships in legal associations including the Family Law Section of the San Mateo County Bar Association and the Santa Clara County Bar Association, along with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Silicon Valley.
Extending her commitment to the society by taking up pro bono cases, Ms. Martinez volunteers as an attorney at the Landlord-Tenant Housing Clinic at Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, which also named her as a Pro Bono Honoree. Her efforts and dedication were also honored by The State Bar of California with the president’s Pro Bono Service Award.
