Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Martin represented me in a difficult probate litigation case. He kept me advised at all stages of the litigation and obtained an excellent result.

Mr. Martin was hired to defend me by FLMIC in an attorney malpractice clam. Mr. Martin worked quickly to get the claim resolved, and always kept me well informed of the progress in the case. I would highly recommend Mr. Martin.

Review for Bill Martin

Bill Martin was retained by FLMIC to represent me in a malpractice claim in2008. He worked closely with me to develop the case. The issues were complex and required much time devoted to the issues and the applicable law. His guidance at deposition was invaluable. I was impressed with his work and ...understanding. In fact after the first day of trial I spoke with my insurance agent assigned and told him that win lose or draw, Bill Martin "had it". He understood the case and presented the facts and issues as clearly as I could have ever wanted. After a three day trial, in which Bill Martin demonstrated my confidence was well justified, the jury came back in approximately 20 minutes with a complete verdict for us on all counts. I highly recommend Bill Martin without reservation.

Review for Attorney Bill Martin

I hired Mr. Martin for an insurance claim and he did an excellent job. He finalized my claim in a very timely manner. I was also informed by an e-mail or telephone call with updates about the case weekly or more often if necessary. I would positively use him again if a situation arose that I would... need his expertise.
