About Martin
Biography
Although we still litigate, the bulk of our practice is now crisis management and representation of investigative journalists. We believe that success means that no one knows about a problem or, if it is already public, that we enlist all of Washington's resources to solve the problem. When we represented Westinghouse we broke the Uranium Cartel which threatened to bankrupt Westinghouse.
