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!

Outstanding representation

Mr. Martin has represented me in an ongoing litigation matter. He is extremely knowledgeable as to the law and the needed procedures to be followed. He always keeps me fully informed as to the current status of the litigation and explains what is happening in an understandable manner. A lawsuit is... an unpleasant experience and he is the best to have on your side.

William M. Martin

Bill Martin was retained by my insurance company to represent me. He did a great job of prepping me for depositions and a fantastic job in the courtroom. He worked closely with me and explained each step of the legal process as we went along. He kept me informed of all updates and options. My insu...rance agent and the other attorneys on the case were all impressed with his expertise. 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.
