Prior to this, Mr. Martinez attended the Florida State University, where he obtained his B.A.
During his legal career, he has gained considerable experience working in several different areas.

After that, he spent two years at the Harris County District's Office as a Court Chief Prosecutor where he gained considerable insight into the criminal system.
In 1999, Mr. Martinez changed his focus from prosecution to defense. He co-founded Madrid Martinez & Associates and worked there for over a decade, devoting himself to providing Houston residents with the high-quality and aggressive legal defense that they truly deserve. Then, in 2011, he split off to open up his own law firm, the Martinez Law Firm. He has since remained committed to helping defend the accused.

“I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation regarding your handling of my DWI case. I didn't know you from Adam and called you only because a friend recommended you. I cannot fathom what you did above and beyond the call of duty to facilitate this conclusion of my case. Thanks again for all you did.”
“I really wanted to thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your savvy advice and wanted to let you know that I have taken the whole thing to heart. Your kindness and attitude will be remembered.”
“Thank you so much, Herman, for your help in getting the bail amount down - that exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy to have you and Mario representing me, even more so after seeing and hearing some of these other (seemingly less professional) lawyers around the courts.”
