also known as Alexis D. Martin
Work is not only our method of survival, but also a cornerstone of our identities. I practice employment law with the goal of pursuing action to assert workplace balance because, although life is often not fair, with the right advocate, you may still get what you deserve. I predominantly represent plaintiffs in litigation of employment claims. My practice includes wage and hour claims for classes and individuals, family and medical leave violations, unlawful retaliation, discrimination and harassment, violation of non-compete agreements, privacy violations, and whistleblower claims. Prior to entering litigation, I assist clients – both plaintiff and defense – in navigating the processes of various administrative agencies, including the EEOC, IDHR, and OSHA. I also work pre-litigation to negotiate severance and separation agreements. No matter the forum or size of the claim, my goal is always to obtain the best possible result for my clients.

"I endorse this lawyer. Alexis is an exceptionally capable lawyer that truly cares about her clients. She goes the distance to help those in need."
"Attorney Alexis D. Martin is an exceptional immigration attorney. She has everything that you want in an immigration attorney. As a native Spanish speaker, I can tell you that her Spanish is great. Many attorneys today claim that they can speak Spanish, but they cannot. Alexis truly can, which makes her an asset to her clients. Most importantly, her knowledge of immigration law is amazing. Practicing immigration, I can tell you that I routinely call Attorney Martin for immigration advice. That is because she is knowledgable and loves to help people. With that said, she is always available to her clients, whether it is by phone or email. Yet she still makes every client feel like they are her only client. I fully endorse Attorney Martin for any immigration matters you may have as an individual or as a corporation looking for immigration assistance."
"I have personally witnessed Alexis litigate various issues in court. She is a worthy adversary and has a firm grasp of courtroom etiquette and procedure. I strongly endorse this attorney."
"Alexis is an upstanding attorney with a relentless passion for employee's rights and it shows. She not only displays exceptional knowledge in the field of employment litigation (as well as immigration) but also zealous commitment to the interests of her clients and a genuine concern for the well-being of the people she represents. In fact, were I to have an employment or immigration issue, I would approach her first without hesitation."
"Fortunately I have had the opportunity to refer Alexis clients and and had the opportunity to work with Alexis. She is a consummate professional and her understanding of the law is exceptional as well as her passion for the law.. I have seen her in court and she controls the room. If she takes your case then you know you are in good hands."
"Alexis is a professional with a personality. Having worked with her on different projects in law school and as a practicing lawyer, I can honestly say that, as an attorney, I would choose Alexis to lead my team in any legal matter. She is patient and intelligent, but she is certainly not afraid to roll up her sleeves and fight for her clients, which is a must for any immigration and litigation attorney."
