Mr.

Clarence Darrow has nothing on this guy! He was such an amazing advocate for us. His analysis of the case, preparation, communication and negotiation skills served us really well. I also really appreciated his open and frank manner, along with his sense of humor. The hell with Morgan and Morgan. ... Call Bill!

Slip and fall in shower

Bill Martin was hired by Florida Family Insurance on my behalf for a slip and fall in a shower. He was always responsive to any and all questions I had in this case in a timely manner and kept us informed of the depositions being taken, the motions being filed, and ultimately the resolutions of this... case through mediation. Mr. Martin is a credit to his profession and we would highly recommend his services to anyone in the future.

Professional

William represented our firm in a truck lawsuit. He was professional and detailed. He keeps us informed throughout the process and prepared our employees well. He's experience was demonstrated as he was well prepared for our case. I highly recommend his services.

Condominium Sues Homeowner - Insurance Defense

I was sued by my condominium association for negligence during a fire which occurred in my building. I had nothing to do with the fire, and was being sued by the association in an effort to collect much needed monies to pay for outstanding bills. The law firm of Peterson & Bernard was hired by my i...nsurance company to represent me. Mr. Martin is an attorney with this firm and was assigned my case. Mr. Martin was very on top of everything during my entire case. He was very good at keeping all parties informed. I am also an attorney, and Mr. Martin allowed me to work with him to strategize our defense, which I really appreciated since my expertise was also in defense litigation. In a very short period of time, we were able to settle this case. I am please with the outcome and would recommend Mr. Martin.
