Called Marin and Barrett about needing representation for a possible situation where I could lose my license. Called twice and was told my call would be returned. No one ever called back. At a time where professionalism matters most they are at their worse. Stay away from these guys. Very disappointing.

Matt was an excellent lawyer. He was very professional and did a good job of making sure I was aware of what was going on and why at all times. On top of that he was able to get a better outcome than I could have imagined with my case. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a lawyer.

Mr. Marin I wish I can rate you 20 stars. Detailed professional and outstanding attorney.
I had previously been charged with a hit-and-run with damage to private property. I contacted Mathew and had a consultation which was a very smooth experience that made me feel extremely comfortable with my current situation. Almost worry free.
Matthew supported me and my case and fought to the full extent to ensure that justice was recognized and acted upon. Mr. Marin has a top-notch, experienced and proven track record of success towards his clients and peers alike.
The only bad decision would not

Matt is a very talented, professional and well versed lawyer. He is very straightforward and quite knowledgable. I would use Matt's services again (knock on wood I wouldn't though) and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is need of assistance. In the words of my grandmother "I thank the lord he is here for you."
