William M. Martin

My law firm and I were named as defendants in a civil case eight years ago. It was a nightmare for me, but Bill was, throughout a process that ended in a week-long jury trial just last week, calm, levelheaded, smart, and very skilled as a trial lawyer. He kept me calm and reassured me, which I urgent...ly needed. He walks into a courtroom comfortable and controlled, and he knows how to handle the unexpected events that inevitably arise in a trial. Bill helped me through one of the most challenging, difficult episodes of my life, and guided us to a verdict in favor of me and my firm. I cannot thank him enough for his knowledge, demeanor, and skill. Bill, it's hard for me to put into words how grateful I am to you, but let me just say: thank you. I am honored to be your client.

I was named in a legal malpractice claim in a complex business lawsuit where I had been appointed "Receiver" of a corporation by the Judge in the case. Bill was appointed to represent me by my legal liability insurer. He did an outstanding job and got me dismissed from the lawsuit. This was a very st...ressful situation for me and Bill made it tolerable. Speaking as another Trial Lawyer, I highly recommend Bill Martin for any litigation you may have in Florida.

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.

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.
