Another unhappy "client" here. I was in an accident at the end of January and spoke with Martinkus. He seemed to care about my case and assured me that he would help me. Fast forward to SEPTEMBER and I still have no information. I have never had any kind of legal dealings, so I was unsure what to expect with time frames. I have had to email or call multiple times for anyone to even get back to me. Should have been a quick case...I was hit by a drunk driver with insurance. This has just been an absolute nightmare. I wish I would have spoken to another law firm, but I feel it is too late at this point. 😞

Simple case they never called back even to tell us they did not want to take case. It was over a month. Very poor service. I would not trust this firm at all.

We sent a check for over $20000 to to the office of Attorney James Martinkus. After the check was cashed we were told that they could not provide the services that we had requested. I will be contacting the ARDC.
I wish I had read the other Google reviews before I dealt with their office.

I called to set up an appointment and consultation several times. I Was informed by Jim Martinkus assistant that someone would be contacting me soon, but not body contact me. Last time I spoke with his asistance I told her about not receiving a call back from his office and her response was "OK". 4 months later no call back.
I gave 1 star because 0 is not an option
I've worked with Rick & Tracey for several years - personally & in business. They are very professional and take the time to answer all questions. I highly recommend EMC to others.

I'd give zero stars for Mike McCormick and his so-called assistant, Dawn. Absolutely worthless. Over a YEAR later and I STILL don't have a last will and testament. A YEAR. And now they have just ghosted me. Worthless.
1/16/26 update - Finally, finally heard back from the assistant, Dawn. She now tells me that the "new" version of my will needs to be not only notarized but also signed by 3 witnesses and this needs to be done on a weekday before 4pm. I'm an RN and can't get off work before 5pm. So I asked for my original will to be sent back to me. It is the only copy I had. She's holding it hostage now. Who are these people?!
