Recommended David to represent my mom in a divorce. He didn’t fight for her at all and upon his termination as her lawyer, didn’t send all the documents to her new lawyer. Waste of six months and way too much money.

David and Saleana did a great job at handling my legal issues. Not only did he help me at every turn, but he showed me how to minimize my costs near the end.

David and his team are amazing to work with. They are knowledgeable in all aspects of Family Law and treat their clients with such respect. I highly recommend them.

David Martin is one of the best!! His staff is wonderful and easy to work with.

We work with many attorneys but have been specifically and consistently impressed with this particular office. They do an excellent job at communicating with clients and providing result driven services.

David and his staff are always great to work with. Very knowledgeable and are great advocates for their clients.

We work closely with David Martin regularly. He is a great Attorney and his staff is very easy to work with. Highly recommend!!

David and Saleana are a great team and are very patient and reassuring through a most difficult process for people going through a divorce. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to make their divorce process smoother and bring some calm as they go through one of the toughest times.

David was really unbelievable in helping guide me through Custody and Divorce proceedings.
It is a very tough process with alot of emotion involved but he explained everything in detail and always was there when you needed him. I hold David in the highest regard, and I know he will continue to help as many people as he can. It's who he is as a person, it's not just a job to him. I would also like to thank his Paralegal, Saleana, who answered every phone call and email without hesitation. That helped me tremendously getting those answers. Thank you both.

I chose David when he was a brand new practice, he went above and beyond for me. He answered any questions I had and made sure every detail was covered in my agreement.
I highly recommend David!

"0" stars is not an option or that is what I'd select. Wish I would have read AVVO reviews before retaining this attorney. There was a client who had a negative outcome who describes my very experience. Basic questions are ignored and forget about legal advice. The worse thing is his spinning the situation as though the client is at fault while not accepting responsibility as the professional. Not interested is timely moving of the case forward and interested in padding the bill. Enters into agreements with opposing counsel J. Creighton Hayes but doesn't even share any information with this client until there's a motion filed claiming a never disclosed agreement is violated-why? My mailed package to FL home ended up in the possession of opposing counsel's SC office and Mr. Martin did nothing to assist-why? Now interestingly the finger is being pointed to Mr. Martin by opposing counsel who had a duty to return my package to me. The Court had to direct him to do so. Not sure what their situation is but my marriage has enough drama without these additional incidence from these attorneys. It's shameful. I discovered conflict of interests that prevented Judges Guyton from hearing my case due to his association as former law partner with Creighton Hayes' father (Robert Wesley Hayes) but Mr. Martin didn't catch that-why?. Discovered fraud upon the court committed by spouse hiding rental income but he did nothing about it after brought to his attention-why? Hired forensic accountant and myself begging his for assistance and he says he had to research how to subpoena the out of state bank-why?....and the list of failings goes on.

In sourcing for another attorney, the criticism of his work or lack thereof has been quite telling.

Save your money and look elsewhere. Watch your case and stay involved. The most attention I got from this attorney occurred when I terminated his service. Then he claimed in his motion to be relieved that I don't communicate with him. How many times should a client e-mail, text or call about a situation (while being billed for each)? If the bills says that there's communication with opposing counsel, the client has a right to be copied. Meetings with the client's contracted forensic accountant should not be occurring without the client's knowledge. Who would pay for something billed for which there is no evidence? I have months of ignored questions to which I got answers after he was relieved from representing me. Imagine as a separated spouse I asked about changing my Will and got no response. I've learned yes...change your will at the onset and again after final hearing. I didn't get copies of temporary order and submitted affidavits without requesting them. My own affidavit was provided to me in January 2019 after it was submitted to the Court October 2018-why? This is inexcusable - it's an e-mail that was needed. Don't let anyone tell you how great a job they are doing for you when your eyes, ears and gut tell you otherwise.

Report attorneys to the Commission on Lawyer Conduct.

Know that if it is evident that you as the petitioner are being placed on the defensive while an attorney does nothing to assist you then it's time to cut your losses. Some damages cannot be repaired. It's your life that is being affected and the outcome of which you have to contend with long after the divorce is over. I would not recommend this attorney.

David Martin went above and beyond for me and my case. I put all my trust in him and he certainly delivered. I highly recommend him for all your family law needs. Also his paralegal, Saleana, is the sweetest, most productive and efficient person I know. She definitely kept everything I needed in order and had it ready at a moments notice. 5 Star for both and A+++. Thank you both for all you did for me. I truly am honored to have worked with such great people

I highly recommend David for your legal needs. He was always very professional and put me at ease as I was going through a very stressful situation in life. I was ultimately totally satisfied with the outcome of my case. Saleana was great too always getting back to me in a timely manner and providing useful information as well.

David Martin was an excellent attorney that I would highly recommend. This is the second time that he has helped me. Both times he was easy to get in touch with, responded to calls/emails/texts quickly. He provided me with all the answers to my questions as well as great advice. He worked tirelessly on my case and got better results than I could ask for. He was a great help through a difficult time. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

Great person to work with.

David handled my divorce while he was at his previous firm. Very easy process and made it virtually painless! Could not have asked for a better Lawyer!

David Martin was an excellent attorney that was easy to get in touch with. He treated me as if I was his only client. He answered all text, e-mails and phone calls promptly. I would recommend him to all my friends or anybody who asked for a professional attorney.

I was extremely pleased with David and his paralegal Selena. Between being a single parent and running a company, I had no free time to even think about what needed to be done and David recognized that and handled everything in such a timely, professional manner. Selena was always quick to answer any questions that I had (even if it was a call from me at closing hours) she never made me feel rushed. I highly suggest David to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.

David is an excellent attorney and advocate-- knowledgeable, dedicated, thorough and kind. He listens to you. With David, no question is a stupid question, and he's going to give you all of the time and resources that you need. Most important for me, was David's ability to empathize and to help me navigate the Family Court system. He does his research. Good, bad or indifferent, David will offer an array of options available to you. He will give you his recommendation, but will encourage you to determine the resolution that works best for you and your family. David made a deeply emotional situation palatable. I came away from this experience empowered, emboldened and so very, very grateful. In the event it's not obvious, I highly recommend David W. Martin. Thank you, David!

Working with David and his team was excellent! Flawless execution, courteous, and prompt. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend David Martin for an Attorney. He did an amazing job. He was very thorough and if i had any questions, himself or his paralegal Saleana were quick to respond. If i ever need a family law attorney again, David is my guy! Thank you David!

David Martin was my knight in shining armor! He got me through a nasty divorce with ease and a very nice settlement for me. If you need an attorney for divorce or any issue I recommend him highly! I could not hold him in any higher regard, number 1 in my book!!!

He was quick to respond to my calls or emails and his paralegal was also extremely helpful and quick to respond. He was upfront and very knowledgeable and kept me informed of what to expect, made me feel comfortable and at ease with the process.

Excellent attorney, available when any questions arise along with being a genuine person who cares about his clients. Additionally, Saleana his paralegal is efficient and extremely personable. Thank you for representing me so well.

David was informative, responsive and helpful during my divorce. He made a stressful situation easier to get through and produced results that were beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend David to anyone with legal needs.

I can not even describe the amount of respect I have for the guy. He is not only a good lawyer, but more importantly a good friend. He has been there from day one! His legal advice has helped me in many ways. His charisma, dedication, and trust has brought me to believe that there are actually good, caring attorneys out there. I highly recommend David to anyone. He is very professional, helping, and kind. He isn’t afraid to tell you what you don’t want to hear, but also is respectful in how he tells you. Whenever you are in a pickle that you don’t know how to handle, whether it be a custody battle, divorce matter, or even a child support case - I highly recommend David.

I first contacted David in the summer of 2017 when my wife had a job opportunity out of state and my children wanted to move with us. He was upfront and honest about the challenges and developed a way forward that balanced my desire to maintain an amicable relationship with the children’s mother and still allow us to move and take advantage of the many opportunities for the kids. Within several weeks of retaining David, he negotiated a temporary custody agreement that allowed me to move with my children and start a new life.

I could not have asked for a more supportive and understanding lawyer to represent me. At every stage of the negotiation, David replied to my many inquiries and stressed out calls in a timely manner, re-assuring me that the best interest of the children were always foremost in our negotiation. There were many complicated issues with the move and opposing counsel but David was able to handle each challenge very skillfully.

A year later, the children are thriving in our new home both in school and extracurricular activities. David negotiated the final custody and support agreement as the school year wound down only to face numerous challenges including working with the courts to serve notices, guiding me through a difficult mediation, and ultimately negotiating a settlement without having to take the issue to a full trial.

Words cannot begin to express my gratitude David’s professionalism and dedication. Rob and family.

The most important thing about using a lawyer is being sure they review everything, you can trust them, and that communication will be there. David excelled in all three. Highly recommend him for any situation he specializes in.

I was in an unreasonable emergency situation where my divorce attorney was unable to represent me at that time and he recommended David Martin. David from the very beginning worked tirelessly and dilegently in an atypical situation defending myself, but more importantly advocating tirelessly on behalf of my two children. He went above and beyond not only in the initial emergent situation, but throughout the duration: multiple mediations, other inquiries, other agencies, and then finally within the courtroom. His knowledge, effectiveness, thoroughness, and overall kindness was the support that was needed for my family and myself at a time when options were limited and a positive outcome seemed unlikely. He was able to defend myself from an unjust accusation that resulted ultimately in a positive outcome. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I highly recommend Mr. Martin without reservation. A respectful bulldog and champion of an attorney that you want on your side.

David, I want to thank you for all the hard work and effort you and your firm put into my case and helping me step by step through the entire process. You're a stand up, respectable man.

David has given me great sound legal advice on many different occasions! Would highly recommend

David Martin is the absolute best. He is knowledgeable, professional and thorough. He did an awesome job with negotiating terms to suit my favor today. I am extremely blessed to have been represented by him. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

David is professional, caring and always follows up with his clients. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend David Martin for any family law needs. He is extremely knowledgeable and frankly just knows how to get the results you need. I was very pleased with how fast he responds whenever I had a question. I never had a situation where David didn't respond within the hour. While thinking over my case, David Martin made every decision the way it needed to happen to get us a best case verdict in our favor.

I strongly recommend David Martin as a Attorney. He helped me with my family court case I almost lost my mind and didn't know what to do until I found David. Me and my children are happy,satisfied and back to living our normal life & I don't believe I could've done it without him. I walked in confused & lost because I of issues I was having with child custody. I walked out with exactly what I needed not only am I a Full time Dad Again I've also gained a friend/family in David Martin. He's amazing at what he does very compassionate and loving. He's going to be completely honest and upfront nothing was sugar coated and that's what I loved most. If your looking for somebody who is down to earth and will have your back that does not play. You better call David . Anyone I've referred will give tell you the same that this is and good choice if you want to win... Love ya David you'll always be apart of the Morrison Family.

I would recommend David to anyone who is going through a family crisis! He is such a caring person and a great lawyer! I could never thank him enough for helping me through my darkest hour. David gave me strength to keep going when I felt like I was about to collapse He will always have a special place in my heart. David has called me several times just to check on me, since my court case is final and closed. He is a great friend as much as a great lawyer. If I ever need a lawyer in the future, I would definitely call David Martin

Skidmore Investigations highly recommends David W. Martin, Attorney at Law. David is easy to work with and always ensures his client's that they are priority. If you were to contact David W. Martin at any time of day, he is readily available and easy to get in touch with. If you are ever in question of which attorney to choose, go with David W. Martin for not only a comfortable experience, but a reliable and organized one as well!

David did a fantastic job for me. He was easy to work with and always one step ahead. He was very organized and thorough through the entire process. He is well respected and made my case a priority. I highly recommend David Martin!

I've struggled with whether to write a review or not. I don't like writing negative reviews but I think this is fair and accurate. I found Mr Martin via his positive google reviews in late 2018, and used his services for a difficult custody situation with my ex. In the beginning things seemed good; personally I liked him and we had some things in common. He was very responsive to my questions. As time went on, I got the feeling that he was playing "defense"; not pursuing things I thought should be pursued. But in my eyes he was the expert, so I relented and followed his lead. My ex and I would up in mediation and I wound up signing an agreement that I NEVER should have signed. In fairness to Mr Martin, I was ultimately the one who approved the agreement (after a long, emotional, tiring, and expensive day of negotiation). Based on my frustrations Mr Martin suggested I do something I NEVER should have done. The following day, I told him I didn't like the agreement but he said it would be "virtually impossible" to change. The day of court, I asked what would happen if I said I didn't agree to the agreement. Mt Martin said I'd likely be thrown out of court and have to pay my Ex's attorney fees...so I stood there and painfully stated that I agreed to everything in this agreement - which I did not...but I felt I had no choice. Since then, I've regretted not speaking out every day of my life. I have been told by two attorneys that the agreement is the worst they've seen. Now I am paying another attorney to "undo" what this agreement did. I want to be fair to Mr Martin - I take full responsibility for agreeing to the agreement, but I feel my best interests were not important we ironically "lost" the case, which I felt he was simply "trying not to lose". I would recommend if you have a difficult child custody situation, you explore all options available. Most importantly, understand YOU are your best advocate. Don't ever agree to anything you're not positive is in your best interest. If you don't feel good about how mediation is going, and don't think you can come to a fair agreement, you can leave.

I consider myself fortunate to have had David and Saleana represent me in my legal matters. Their consideration and expertise made a stressful time much less upsetting. They conduct themselves with the highest level of integrity and professional decorum. I highly recommend them.

David and Saleana were great. Easy to work with, willing to explore all options and help anyway possible. I would highly recommend if you ever find yourself in need of an attorney.

I always enjoy working with local business! Friendly and efficient staff!

Great group of people.

In my mind David Martin is SC’s SuperMan. David is the best Divorce attorney out there. He and his paralegal, Saleana Harris are not just professional, experienced, hard working and detailed from beginning to end but they treat their clients like human beings.

After seeking advise from several divorce attorneys and being told I would have to schedule a consultation several weeks out before receiving any advise at all I called a firm that David Martin had practiced in prior to opening his own firm. His former colleague assured me that David would be able to handle my case and represent me well and that I should call right away. I called David and the first thing he asked me was if I was okay and to share a little bit about my story. I immediately knew that I found the right attorney and finally felt my panic decrease. I didn’t loose my mind after all either!

David was the only attorney (I called about 10 different firms) who asked me what my story was and showed concern for my well being before bringing up appointments and fees etc. He told me what I needed to do to stay safe, what my rights were, and what the plan would be in order to place my children and myself in the best situation possible. I was able to breath a little more before our first appointment. He and his paralegal were patient and always available to answer questions and address concerns. During the most stressful time in my life David Martin and Saleana Harris made me feel like I was protected and had hope.

As a mother of two who was married for 15 years and had no prior divorce experience this was extremely stressful. I was living in fear for months prior to making a decision to call an attorney. The way David Martin addressed my case gave me the strength I needed to not give up. David and Saleana are down to earth, treated me like a friend, and made me feel like there was light at the end of the tunnel.

I have a parenting schedule that I am happy with, the main custodian of our children and have peace in our home. I’m back on my feet and we are safe. My children are happy and doing extremely well in school and I owe this to the legal team I was blessed with.

I always talk about David and Saleana and I will not recommend anyone else to represent my friends or family if needing a divorce. I would even suggest that they call David for a referral before sending them to someone in an area outside of David’s jurisdiction. I just do not trust any other attorney. Period. I hope someone who is in need of an attorney reads my review and feels hopeful knowing that there is an aggressive, professional, no games attorney out here who is also compassionate and truly seeks the best for his clients, who I believe wears an invisible superhero cape, and I hope you choose David Martin aka- Superman!

David and Saleana are nothing but outstanding! From the beginning to the end the entire process is very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend!!

David W. Martin is a great attorney. Very professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him. I also enjoyed working with his Paralegal, Saleana Harris.

I can’t express enough gratitude and appreciation towards David and Saleana. I met with a couple of lawyers before choosing David and was beyond impressed with David and his fabulous paralegal, Saleana.

Saleana is extremely personable, organized, and efficient. She is up to date with knowledge about your case and consults with David if she does not know the answers. I would ask her about a certain situation or issue with my case and she always knew exactly what I was referring too. That is impressive! She is always available, always responds and follows through when she says she will. I appreciate Saleana’s genuine kindness and how she would always check with me to see if I needed anything.

From our first meeting, David was compassionate about my situation and wanted to know what my goals were. Divorce isn’t easy, especially with children. As a parent you want the best for your children. David understands this and went above and beyond to keep my children happy and as normal as possible in their living environment.

David knew my case to the detail. I truly appreciated that he invested himself into every detail and every outcome of my case. I trusted the advice he gave me and it has been beneficial. He did not make outlandish promises that he could not keep. David listened to what I wanted and what was important to me. He did accomplish more than we expected in our case. In other words, he cares and is willing to do what is right. He has integrity and is open to suggestions but always follows what is legal. David is an honorable trustworthy attorney and human being. There is no one else I respect more to represent me (and my children) than David W. Martin, Attorney at Law, LLC.

Saleana, David’s paralegal, is extremely kind, efficient, and prompt. Every time we have contacted the office, Saleana has returned our calls and emails the same day unless they were out of the office. My daughter had a difficult divorce and Saleana was a great comfort to her. Her knowledge as a paralegal makes her an excellent assistant and go-to person in their office.

We asked and interviewed many different people before hiring David as my daughter’s attorney. He expressed interest in her case and was honest in what we could expect in court according to tradition and according to South Carolina laws. Being a parent from another state, I was worried about many things. David took the time to explain differences to me. Two important events impressed me about David. After explaining what was traditional to ask for in a divorce, I asked him to go against his experience and make requests that I felt were better. He agreed to do so. Some worked out and some did not. In other words, he is pliable in his job. Second, during mediation, he called me to explain how negotiations were progressing and why the mediator settled compromises contrary to our hopes. I was so impressed that he would support my daughter in this terrible time and enlist my support by increasing my understanding of the decisions made.

My daughter collected copious amounts of evidence and sent them to Saleana. I never imagined David would familiarize himself with all this information before going to court, but he was well informed and prepared. I can’t say enough good things about David and Saleana. They treated us with respect and concern and I would definitely hire them again and again!

My experience with David Martin and Saleana Harris through the entire process of my custody battle was nothing short of "OUTSTANDING"! I would recommend David W. Martin to anyone needing a true professional attorney who will always be totally upfront with you with good news and bad. David has shown to be more than capable with Family Law and he has a great personality that shows complete respect and professionalism for his clients. I promise you that he will ALWAYS lookout for your best interests through the entire process.

Look no further for an attorney who will get you the results you’re looking for! Sound legal counsel you can trust and top notch quality legal representation are both reasons I recommend the services of David W. Martin, Attorney at Law. David and his team made an otherwise mundane and daunting legal process a breeze and success!! If you need relief, retain David as your attorney and take a load off of yourself, you’ll be happy you did! I know I am!! If I ever need legal counsel again in the future I’ll be calling David W. Martin, Attorney at Law.

David did such a good job. He was organized, diplomatic, helpful, fair, and gave great advice. He aided me and my child's mother in coming to an agreement outside of the court room and truly made the lives of all parties involved better under his direction, guidance, work, and intelligent course of action.

Awesome attorney, very thorough

David was so much more than an attorney! He went well and beyond to ensure the best interest of my daughter was his top priority. I highly recommend him and can tell you from personal experience that you will be in good hands.

David has represented me multiple times. He is a fair, consistent, and well respected attorney. His willingness to go above and beyond for his client astounded me and put me at ease in difficult cases. If I ever need a family law attorney again, David will be my first choice.
