I went to this lawyer to do an expungement and I had consulted 2 attorneys by phone and online that would charge 400-500 dls for their fees and filing fees, Martin Arteaga stated that He would charge 600.00dls for everything(his fee and filing fee) until the case was resolved, I went to this firm because his partner Kevin Garcia had handled a case for me before but Kevin was on vacation, I did not think highly of Martin Arteaga but needed to do this asap, He made me pay in advance, I was stupid and did, I paid 1200.00 for 2 expungements, after a while He told me I owed him 600 more for his fees, I explained to him our agreement and He blatantly lied, said He never agreed to that and stopped working on my cases, this guy is the greediest, He is one reason why lawyers are hated, greedy, dishonest, takes advantage of people who have problems and makes them worse, in the same field as scammers, reminds me of people like Bernie Madoff, This guy makes the word Lawyer synonimous of Liar. Don't hire this office, save your money.

I would like to Retract and at the same time apologize about the statements I made about Mr. Martin Arteaga's moral character when I called him greedy and dishonest and that he takes advantage of people and compared him to scammers and people like Bernie Madoff and when I said that he is a synonymous of liar, even though there was  a misunderstanding of the perception each of us had regarding the services rendered, It was wrong from my part to question his moral character. He is not any of the previous portrayals I made.  Once again I offer my apology to Mr. Martin Arteaga.
