Beware OF this TODD MARTIN IN MONROE, LOUSIANNA. Where do I…read moreeven start with this guy. What a joke of a lawyer. He was hired October 5, 2017 and paid an upfront amount of $1500.00 for his so called "$500.00" divorce. He failed to file the papers he was supposed to the following day, and then, fast forward 4 months, he agrees on your behalf(that was not agreed on) to cancel a HOC that was to happen in February 2018. Fast forward to May 2018, another HOC, he FAILS to even show up for it, so he has some wack job fill in for him[ Steve Martin], who was unaware of the case, and failed to defend his client. During this HOC, there was supposed to be a conference call between everyone and there wasnt. So things happened that Todd Martin's client (Joe) knew nothing of. And even Todd himself didnt know about. He failed to file a motion that there was not an agreement on the HOC papers before the date that would allow to change or dispute things, so now we are back to square one. He also shares client confidential information with the other party. He's been put on probation with the BAR before. He is not on the dads side in child custody cases. He is 100% for the mother to take the children away and slam you with as much child support as possible. He tells you to send cash money to the mother for support which does not count and is considered charity so you have to pay that money twice! On top of all of this, he allowed insane things to be put in the papers such as, the father's present girlfriend(me now fiance) can not be around the children unless we are legally married, I am not allowed to post photos of the children on social media nor even mention them or their mother at all on any platform or we will be in contempt of court. What kind of crap is that? It also states the children cant be left alone with me nor can I go pick them up. I have no record and no reason to be a danger to the children so why any of this was allowed is absurd. The father(Joe) doesn't get equal holidays, such as fathers day but it states mother day in the papers, birthdays, and other school holidays. As of 10-18-2019 Todd Martin still has not manned up and done the right thing and helped his client. We will be seeking to file on him and are sending in paper work to Office of the Disciplinary Counsel in Louisiana. Which is not a first for him. Hes had his license suspended before. Google him before you ever bother hiring him. We screwed up ever trusting him and paying him. He made things worse. His client has now been banned from any contact with his children, cant see them and the mother makes up un godly amounts for the father to pay on top of the $2,400 a month child support she already gets. His client(joe) has still not been served any papers to date nor got a copy of anything. Top 10 facts about Todd Martin of Monroe, Louisiana - LIAR - NOT ON YOUR SIDE - DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU - LETS THE OTHER PERSONS ATTORNEY HANDLE EVERYTHING - GOES TO DALLAS OR OUT OF TOWN EVERY THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY SO HE CANT HELP YOU - LETS INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT BE IN COURT Documents SUCH AS THE MOTHER NOT ALLOWING HIM NOR ANY FUTURE SPOUSE TO POST PHOTOS OF THEM TOGETHER ON SOCIAL MEDIA - DOES NOT RESPOND TO PHONE CALLS OR TEXT - HIS OFFICE STAFF IS RUDE - HE IS RUDE AND THINKS HE CAN BE A SMART MOUTH - HE WILL LEAVE YOU HANGING AND NOT GIVE ONE MORE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU ONCE HE GETS YOUR MONEY. Update as of 11/8/2019 Todd is NOW texting and calling wanting this review taken down on all platforms and concerned about the disciplinary form. Funny how he is paying attention to the reviews but didnt mention one thing about any of what was said in this review. Still doesn't care his client has been blocked from seeing his children and talking to them. How sad! Karma one day. I hope he never has his new child yanked away from him like Joe has been from his. It's a horrible thing. Todd Martin, since you are reading this, if you would like to discuss this, you can contact me directly, not through Joe. I will not stop until my name and the paragraphs about me are REMOVED from the papers you so gladly allowed. How does an attorney allow someone's First Amendment Rights to be shut down through a set of child custody papers?? I have NO criminal record, no record of any kind actually, and somehow, such insane provisions got added regarding me??? I had NOTHING to do with that and why my name is in those papers that YOU signed off on, is mind blowing. Joe WILL FOLLOW THROUGH WITH FORM BEING SENT IN. Todd Martin needs to be stopped. We have teamed up with other fellow people who have been screwed over by him and are seeking further legal action against this firm. I am sick to my stomach at what he has allowed. He could make it right by fighting for his client but he is too worried about his reviews.

Every year my children's mother takes me to court for either more money or some ridiculous reason. Since retaining Paul Kidd Jr. last year, he has made those visits to court quite painless. It's as easy as sending Paul your paperwork and feel confident he and his staff have got it all taken care of. Previous attorneys I've had I always felt I had to stay on top of them. I can assure you that isn't the case here. Hope this help you with your decision.

Most people think all you have to do is file a piece of paper and you are done with your case. It takes hours upon hours to file a case, study it, and get the client to understand what's involved with their case. even if it's uncontested. The biggest issue in most cases whether it's criminal or civil a that the client doesn't follow the advice of their attorney. This prolongs their case and increases costs and time to resolve. If you want to hire an attorney who will help you with your divorce or custody issues, she is the one.

She took $2500 from me on 10/13/2021... and only did the divorce - not the property. Then she allowed the 45 day time frame to file on community property pass... and blamed me. Saying she needed more money. Yet, never told me how much, billed, invoiced or even asked me for it. She's a liar and a cheat. I'm sure she will comment saying "confidential" whatever, but she is terrible. I can provide recordings of meetings with promises not delivered on, documentation of MONTHS with no contact, months without answering me, etc... I encourage all of you to file with the LADB against her... https://www.ladb.org/docs/Forms/Complaint.pdf She cannot be allowed to continue to do this to struggling people. Tbh, I only have one star so I could review her. -10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!
