Professional Development
Upon graduating from Boston University with a law degree and a masters degree, Mr. Martinez accepted a position at the Maricopa County Attorney's Office as a criminal prosecutor.

- Q. My bf was p/o doing 28 in a 25.they arrested him & charged w/burg in 3 degree,burg tool,poss of stolen prop, prohb possr
- A: The fact that the prosecutor has brought charges does not necessarily mean that they will stick. Truth is, you can be charged for anything. Whether those charges ultimately get dismissed is a different question. Because your boyfriend was speeding, the State will argue that the police had reasonable suspicion to pull him over. If so, the burglary tools and subsequent burglary will be relevant. If, however, your attorney is able to show that the police did not have reasonable suspicion to pull him over or search his vehicle, the attorney may be able to get the evidence suppressed and potentially have the case thrown out.

- Q. My husband grabbed me and threw me down. Will the police do anything?
- A: Arizona treats victims of domestic violence very carefully. The police are required to file a report and submit for charges if they believe a domestic violence assault has occurred. In addition, the police generally will arrest the suspect of the domestic violence assault and remove them from the property.
- Q. Do kids that are ages 12 and 11 that were subpoenad for trial have to attend? its a dc/dv case...
- A: Generally speaking, if a person is served in person with a subpoena, they are required to come to the trial. If they are not personally served, the court would have no recourse if they did not attend the trial because they cannot be certain that they received the subpoena. That being said, I could never imagine a situation where a court would punish a child for not appearing to court. I cannot even fathom any judge citing a child for contempt of court.
