Disabled Veteran

I reached out to Martin during a really rough time. I had just been laid off due to illness and it seemed like no matter how hard I fought my case with job, they didn't believe my chronic illness was a reason to miss work. Well after talking to him and getting his help with building my ssi case, I've... never been more at peace about a disease I have absolutely have no control over. I told him everything from when the illness first started and how jobs treated me over the years and he said don't worry, I'll help you. And that's exactly what he did and I don't regret it not one bit. So thank you Martin, thank you! For everything!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
