It is rare for a client of the Martens Law Office to spend a day in jail as a result of a simple drug possession charge. A skilled criminal defense lawyer, Mr. Martens has successfully employed a number of strategies in defense of clients accused of drug possession. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the charges, he may consider challenging the district attorney's case, citing illegal search and seizure, lack of reasonable cause for a traffic stop or another breach of law enforcement procedures.
