He was promoted to Felony Supervisor for all criminal matters in a short time. A few years later, he was offered Assistant Chief Defense Attorney to the Placer County Public Defender Office.
Martin Jones is one of the most experienced trial attorneys in Placer County. He handled more than 60 high-profile trials, represented hundreds of clients, and worked on hundreds of DUI cases and suppression motions, including sex crimes, homicide, death penalties, arson, domestic violence, fraud, theft, and a large volume of drug crimes.
He is highly experienced in handling the most complex and challenging matters, such as the death penalty, where the jury completely dismissed the allegations in most of the cases.
