Biography

Hon. Maureen M. Martinez is a judge for the Racine County Circuit Court in the Second Judicial District of Wisconsin. She was appointed to the bench by former Governor Scott Walker in 2018, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Emily Mueller (Ret.).

Prior to her appointment, Martinez specialized in felonies involving the sexual assault of children and adults, homicides, child abuse, and neglect as a deputy district attorney with the Racine County District Attorney’s Office (2017 to 2018). After joining there as assistant district attorney in 1997, she worked to raise awareness of the effects of drug use and abuse among children as a member of the statewide Drug Endangered Child Committee. Martinez also served on the Child Death Review, the Multidisciplinary Team, the Sexual Assault Response Team, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative, the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Committee, and the Juvenile Alternative to Detention Initiative.

She received a bachelor’s degree from St. Mary’s College and a master’s degree from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. Martinez went on to complete a J.D. at Marquette University Law School.

Her memberships have included the Racine County Bar Association. Martinez was also involved with the YWCA in Racine Board (past president), the All Saints Health Care Systems (Physicians Committee), and the Racine County Family Violence Community Coalition (past co-chair).

At the time of her appointment, she resided in Racine with her husband, Michael.
