Adrian R. Martinez

Adrian Martinez_attorney_Z Reyna Law_attorney near me_rio grande valley


Adrian R. Martinez was born and raised in both Houston, Texas and Mexico, an experience that shaped his dedication to justice and advocacy for underserved communities. With over 30 plus years of trying cases he focuses his practice on personal injury, mass tort, and complex commercial litigation. Adrian is deeply committed to representing individuals who have been harmed, with a passion for giving a voice to those who often go unheard.

With a strong belief in the role attorneys play in shaping society, Adrian views the legal profession as a powerful platform for meaningful impact. He has previously been involved with local bar associations and is currently active in various trial lawyer organizations. He also provides pro bono legal services to individuals who cannot afford representation, reflecting his ongoing commitment to access to justice.

Outside of the office, Adrian is an avid reader with a particular interest in politics and psychology. He also enjoys playing tennis and golf. He and his wife share a blended family of six adult children and three granddaughters, and he takes great pride in their family.

He is guided by a quote from Viktor E. Frankl:
“Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life.”
