Ricardo S. Martinez

The previous reviews show a trend that I agree with. This system is clever way to venture beyond tax collection; it about about public humiliation for anyone who questions due process. Isn't retaliation unlawful? And why are attorneys being taxed beyond their means to defend a plaintiff who presented a meritorius claim. I recommend doing Google searches of the plaintiffs named and interviewing them without revwaling their identity before they "disapear". The threat is real.

Ricardo Martinez received a political appointment as a token under the Bush Administration after his administrator was caught firing qualified federal lawyers. He is not qualified to practicing law with no judicial experience prior to his token appointment. He thumbs his nose as the rule of law. In my case I received public records ( Snohomish County’s phone records) that document beyond any doubt that Ricardo Martinez [Redacted by Ed.] . He has since refused to disclose what his phone conversations were about as though he is above the law. I have watched as Martinez [redacted] against anyone who challenges a government agency. He has zero judicial knowledge and zero respect for Our Constitution.

I just posted my evaluation of Ricardo Martinez. I have a correction to make. I was a "litigant" in the civil rights case before Martinez. I am Not a "criminal defense lawyer". However, I am a civil rights lawyer. Therefore, I am qualified to opine that Judge Martinez' legal rulings in my case were acts of judicial misconduct and abuse of his office.

RICARDO MARTINEZ VIOLATES DEMOCRATIC NORMS WITH IMPUNITY. This judge places no value on, and does not respect, Constitutional guarantees of due process and equal protection before the law for all citizens. Nor does he believe in the First Amendment right to free speech and to petition the government for redress. Ricardo Martinez has a lifetime appointment to his position, regardless of his performance. Sweet! He has decided he is a king, not a public servant. Accordingly, he decides who will be the winners and who will be the losers in the cases and controversies before him and then he does whatever is necessary to bring about HIS desired outcome. My heart truly goes out to anyone whose freedom might be at stake before this judge. I had a lot at stake, but not my physical freedom. I know that this judge, if he had his way, would imprison me for these statements I am making right now, about him. Well, he is a public figure, and as far as I know, my speech is protected. So, I am letting the public know, this judge has no respect for the central values of a Democracy, which this country aspires to be. He spits on these democratic norms, and then he laughs all the way to the bank. In my case, I brought a civil rights action because I was being retaliated against by the Washington State Bar Association for opposed the criminal conduct of a white male lawyer. This lawyer's pattern of fraud injured me, three of my clients, and other clients of his. This lawyer's fraud entailed committing repeated fraud upon the courts so he could cheat his clients. I had the evidence and I intended to put the evidence before a jury. The Washington State Bar Association is a special interest group which pretends to represent the interests of the legal profession. This special interest group is empowered to perform state governmental functions without any oversight by a governmental agency and without any of the normal constraints placed upon governmental agencies. This has led to corruptio

It is imperative that we hold Federal Judges to the highest Standard of the Law. All Judges should lead morally and ethically or step down. More importantly, Hon. Ricardo S. Martine, should have been been held accountable and transparent in ever case he oversees. Judge Ricardo S. Martinez - committed a constitutional crisis, and an miscarriage' of justice, when he sentenced our adult son to nine years in prison on the testimony's of two jail house snitches who were caught with the drugs by a corrupt Ice Agent and overzealous prosecutor. "No Lie Lives Forever" God is the JUDGE!

Comments: Judge Ricardo Salazar Martinez, United States Federal Judge was the 13th Jurors. Judge Ricardo Martinez’s gave the Jury's Instructions on 2/18/11 just before noon. In his closing remarks before the jury deliberated the Judge erred in open Court when he unethically stated," Monday 2/21/11 is a Holiday and some of you came along way. If you can reach a verdict today you won't have to make that long drive back on Tuesday." The Judges remarks were egregious and unconscionable. It took two hours for an all white Jury (not of his peers) to come back with a Guilty Verdict on all four counts. Holds a Kangroo Court an unfair, biased, or hasty judicial proceeding that ends in a harsh punishment; an unauthorized trial conducted by individuals of the ?cout. The family paid $970.00 for portions of the Trial Transcript including the Judge’s flagrant remarks were unconscionable . After we got over the shock of the Conviction we made an agreement with the District Court Clerk Nancy Bauer one week after Trial on 2/27/11. The money was accepted and I was to receive the Trial Transcript on week later. I will attach the receipts. This Judge and the Prosecutors violated, judicial rules, laws and ethics on March 11, 2011, when the Prosecutor and Judge Martinez decided to Seal the Trial Transcript that was done in open court. Sealed Trial Transcript to cover up the errors. Judge Martinez our son to sentenced nine years and he has NOT been ALLOWED to see his OWN TRIAL TRANSCRIPT for his own APPEAL defense Pro Se'.

His legal staff and the social "Just" Us protesters are embarrassing his ability to execute sound judgment. He caved into the fallacy bandwagon.

Refused to disqualify himself in a case where he was a party. Ignores case law, prejudges the cases, does not follow the constitution's bill of rights, unethical, and is worn his welcome on the bench. Time for him to retire.

Extremely pro-plaintiff. Had a multi-week jury trial before him and 90% of the rulings on admission of evidence went for the plaintiff, as did his crafting of the jury charges. He also didn't understand the law and didn't care to learn it either.

A poor grasp of the law and a real hazard in a jury trial. Often prejudges motions and then complains because he has to reconsider and reverse himself.

You would think that judges in the hotbed of internet and computer technology would have some idea of the Lanham Act as well as general internet rulings by the ninth circuit not to mention general rules of lawyer advertising. In Davis vs. Avvo rather than applying obvious federal law as well as case law he simply reiterated the position of another dimwit on the bench out there. Seems these people (N.W.O. elitest) would rather have people settle their disputes in the street.

Had an interesting day not too long ago. I sat in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and listened to multiple Martinez CIVIL cases that were up on appeal. He was reversed each time. People need to understand that Martinez may be a fine criminal judge, especially when locking up defendants, but that isn't the entire job. To say otherwise would be akin to arguing that anyone who can dunk should be in the NBA! As the below comments aptly suggest, he is a fish out of water when it comes to dealing with COMPLEX CIVIL MATTERS. He just doesn't do his homework. Most or all of these comments can coexist, and those Ninth Circuit hearings only strengthened the positions of those who say he is unqualified. In each case, the outcomes should have been so obvious at the district level. His rulings seem to contradict prevailing and widely recognized case law, which means his actions tend to border on abuse of authority. If you can't do the entire job, you aren't qualified to do the job at all.

I have handled several settlement conferences presided over by Judge Martinez. He has an uncanny ability to cut through all the BS and posturing and get to the crux of the matter. Truly excellent people skills and an innate sense of justice. I would take him over any other in this district.

One of the best judges for criminal trials in the district! I have practiced in two other districts and this judge is one of the bet that I have seen. He's fair, even tempered and runs a tight ship but makes excellent rulings, an excellent record and truly concerned with obtaining justice.

Took a difficult case to trial, Judge Martinez was as good as could be. Made tough but fair rulings and the jury rewarded my efforts by returning a six figure award. I have no clue what those prior comments are about but I saw nothing but an excellent trial judge at the top of his game.

Awful. Not the brightest bulb on the tree. Should be removed.

Should go be a corporate defense attorney.

He's in over his head and far from qualified to be a judge. He is extremely uneven in his rulings.

He does not read briefs and shows himself to be extremely biased against pro se litigants. Fails to research relevant and current case law, but has a strong propensity towards favoring corporate defendants. Has extremely poor comprehension, reasoning and writing skills. Fails to adhere to summary judgment standard, construing inferences in favor of movants when convenient (i.e., government or corporate litigants). Allows corporate defendants to commit fraud upon the court and perjury.
