Vivian L. Martin, Attorney at Law

Mrs. Martin served as a GAL for my daughter. She was incredibly professional, thorough, and most importantly, fought for my daughter’s wants and best interests.
My only regret moving forward is that she can’t be my attorney in Family Court. She’s one fantastic lawyer. Highly recommend you hire her if in need.

Following a long since passed divorce, I had some lose ends that needed to be tied up that relate to some left over real estate. I reached out to Vivian. She was prompt, fair and very professional. Hopefully I never need her again, though it is comforting that I know someone locally that I can trust.

Vivian is the hardest-working attorney in the area, and she will fight for any client she takes on. She knows the court system and the tendencies of each of the judges, knowledge which she uses to advantage for her clients. Her youth, which has been mentioned as a criticism in a few reviews, is actually a strength. She is in touch with modern changes in family law, such as the court's desire for every divorce to end up with a shared parenting decree. Clients can no longer expect to be awarded full custody just because of their gender, so they must now be willing to compromise. She also has much more energy than older attorneys, energy which no doubt benefits her clients. Her services are in demand in three counties, as evidenced by her having turned down nearly all court-appointed work over the last several months.

Vivian is a well grounded lawyer with a level head that will provide the advice and representation you need.

Attorney Martin was professional and helpful. I would go to her again if the need arises.

Valerie is very knowledgeable and helpful! I greatly appreciated her help with Estate Services and would highly recommend her.

Vivian Martin is a wonderful law advisor to my business. She has been nothing but professional and respectful in our interactions. She has wisdom beyond her years!

Vivian was fantastic. She took care of everything we needed when we updated our essential documents. She was so knowledgeable. I have recommended her already and will continue.

Vivian Poe and her colleagues have been fantastic to my son, and I. Vivian helped me through some of the worst years of my life. She heard the cries of a mother pleading for help in more ways than one. I am forever grateful for her attentiveness, professionalism, and knowledge of the law, which was conveyed in the courtroom time and time again. If I could give his law office six stars, I would.

Vivian L. Martin was fantastic to work with. She is very attentive and communication is great. Look forward to working with her in the future!

Always helpful and gives you a realistic view of probate issues. Works with clients when setting up wills to avoid costly legal issues later. She provided great services and answered all of our questions.

Yup, take her into battle with you. She is a fighter.

She is personable and she is very understanding and she is always there to answer any questions! She made me feel at ease about what I'm about to go through and helped me understand the legality of my situation! I'm glad I have her to represent me!

Vivian is a hardworking lawyer. I HIGHLY recommend her.

Always answered and fight for you and very responsive when texting

As a GAL she drove up the price of my custody battle, she didn’t listen to my incredibly fair grounded mature almost 18 and 16 year old , who simply wanted to be heard and rebuild a relationship with Dad. Vivian was Incredibly biased, she actually caused more separation between my children and their father that I had been requesting them all to reunite. Unnecessary hearings all due to her request, and her lack of knowledge of Law. Simply driving up legal fees well past what was expected offering no communication of billing updates as is required of a GAL. I had to go above her head at the law firm that I wasn’t aware at the time that she was soon to be no longer employed with to get an actual invoice showing how she could possibly be more expensive as an appointed GAL than my well experienced attorney William Parker that was involved with our case 6 months before Vivian came into the case.

Vivian Poe Martin is By far the worst lawyer I’ve ever encountered! She has costed me tens of thousands of dollars with biased opinions that are completely baseless as a GAL. She ignored facts about one parent and automatically sides with the parent who is better off financially. She is Far Too young and inexperienced to serve as a GAL. DO NOT use her or anyone in this office. You’ll thank me later.

My girlfriend Trina lost primary custody of her kids from the start, paid thousands in retainers. Had to get a new attorney just to get a divorce and split custody of the kids which cost my another 5k for a new attorney to get results. Worst experience ever
