Your Martinez Neighbor for Estate Planning, Family Law, and More

Living along the Washington Road corridor puts you at the heart of Columbia County — and close to an attorney who practices on both sides of the county line.

Legal Help Built for Martinez Residents

Martinez is one of Columbia County's most established communities, and the families here have real legal needs: wills that actually hold up, trusts that keep assets out of probate, family law matters handled with care, and landlord-tenant disputes resolved without unnecessary drama. I'm Michael Towns, a Grovetown-based attorney serving Martinez and the surrounding area. My office is minutes away, and I handle every client matter personally — no assistants, no handoffs, no gatekeepers.

Estate Planning for Established Homeowners

If you own a home, have children, or have built up any assets over the years, a basic estate plan is not optional — it is the difference between your family having clear direction and spending months in probate court sorting out what you meant to do. I help Martinez residents put wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives in place so that decisions you make today are honored when it matters most. A free initial consultation is the only required first step.

Landlord-Tenant and Business Legal Support

The Washington Road corridor has active rental and commercial activity. If you are a landlord dealing with a problem tenant or a tenant facing eviction or a security deposit dispute, I handle both sides of those cases. I also assist small business owners with formation, contracts, and the legal groundwork that keeps operations on solid footing.

Questions Martinez Residents Ask

  • Do I need a local attorney for estate planning, or can I use anyone licensed in Georgia?

    Any Georgia-licensed attorney can draft estate planning documents, but working with someone who knows Columbia County's courts and local probate procedures makes the process smoother. I am based in Grovetown, minutes from Martinez, and I handle estate planning matters in this county regularly.

  • I live near the Augusta-Columbia County line. Which court would handle my legal matter?

    It depends on the type of case and where key facts occurred. I practice in both Columbia County and Richmond County courts and walk every client through the venue question before any paperwork is filed. You do not need to figure that out on your own.

  • How do I get started if I have never worked with an attorney before?

    Call or text me at 803-426-9133, or use the contact form to request a free consultation. There is no obligation, no retainer required upfront, and no pressure. We talk through your situation and I tell you honestly what your options are.

  • Does Towns Law Firm handle family law matters for Martinez residents?

    Yes. I handle adoption and protective orders for clients throughout Columbia County, including Martinez. If your matter involves Richmond County courts, I can advise on that as well.
