Your Dedicated Criminal Defense Attorney in Southern California

Ty Martinez is not just an experienced criminal defense attorney; he is a steadfast advocate for the rights of his clients. Awarded a full tuition scholarship, Ty attended the prestigious Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, where he honed his legal skills and developed a profound understanding of the law. After graduating and passing the California Bar in 1999, he began his career at the renowned Los Angeles firm Haight, Brown, & Bonesteel.

However, Ty quickly realized that civil law did not align with his passion for justice and advocacy. This epiphany led him to serve as a Public Defender, a role he embraced for three years. During this time, Ty was deeply involved in the criminal justice system, gaining invaluable experience and insight into its complexities and the often harsh realities faced by individuals within the system. His tenure as a Public Defender was transformative, exposing him to the brutal and sometimes unjust nature of legal proceedings, especially for those without adequate representation.

Driven by a desire to provide more personalized and thorough representation, Ty established his own practice in 2004. At his firm, clients work directly with an attorney who knows their case. Ty takes pride in his ability to navigate the complexities of criminal law, ensuring that each client receives the dedicated attention and vigorous defense they deserve.

As the founder and lead attorney at The Law Offices of Ty Martinez, Ty is committed to upholding the rights of his clients across Southern California, including Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange County, and San Bernardino. His practice focuses on defending people accused of crimes, from misdemeanors to serious felonies, and he brings more than two decades of criminal court experience to every case.

Ty Martinez's approach to criminal defense is not just about legal representation; it's about ensuring justice and fairness for each client. He believes that everyone deserves a second chance, and he fights to protect his clients' rights at every stage of their case.

I truly can’t recommend Ty Martinez enough. He helped me through my DUI and hit-and-run case during one of the most stressful and overwhelming times in my life, and I’m incredibly grateful that I had him representing me. From the beginning, Ty made me feel like I had someone genuinely fighting for me and looking out for my best interest. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and made sure I understood what was happening throughout the entire process. Having someone I could trust made such a huge difference. Ty helped me more than I could have ever expected, and I’m extremely grateful for everything he did for me and for the outcome of my case. He made a situation that felt terrifying and uncertain so much easier to get through. If you’re going through a difficult legal situation and need someone you can trust to have your back, I highly recommend Ty Martinez. I genuinely cannot thank him enough for all of his help and everything he did for me 🙌🏻🙏🏼

Was grateful Ty took my case. I also made him work extra by picking up another charge instead of losing his cool he stayed professional and used every avenue to keep me from facing prison time. In all was confusing picking a lawyer and I hope this review can help anyone who was in my position feel confident picking there next defense lawyer.
NapoleonGoogle review · Jul 2026
I found my self in a situation that I never thought I would. I found Ty and reached out. Saw the reviews and awards so I figured I’d do a consultation. Ty listened intently, asked questions, and was very straightforward. Didn’t sugarcoat anything. Gave me my options and I felt comfortable. Ty always got back to me. Even if he was busy, he’d let me know when to expect a callback. He fought like hell for me and I was able to resolve my issue. I won’t ever need this type of help again but if you do need help, I recommend reaching out to Ty.
TimothyGoogle review · Jul 2026
My husband and I contacted Ty’s office to ask a few questions, not sure if they could help us. Ty went above and beyond to not only answer those questions but give us information, even though we ended up not needing his services. His number will always be with us in case we need anything. Can’t recommend enough.

Ty Martinez delivered an excellent result in my case. His attention to detail, clear communication, and understanding of the law made a stressful situation much easier to manage. He explained every step clearly and worked hard to protect my future. I couldn’t have asked for better representation and would confidently recommend him to anyone in need of legal defense.

NelsonGoogle review · Dec 2025
Mr. Martinez was recommended by a friend. He not only took on my case and handled everything with careful tact and professionalism but he also cares. He explained every part of the legal process and exactly what would happen at each step. What sets Mr. Martinez apart from other lawyers is that to he genuinely cares about his clients. I knew this from our first conversation where he carefully advised me on options before ever being retained.
