Great attorney!

I've used Martin Haxel a couple times over the years and I have fond that each time he is very prompt about responding to my inquiry and is able to talk to me in terms that I can understand!

Workmans Comp Claim

Marty Haxel took over my case after having 2 attorneys who did not appear to care enough to move the case along. Marty dug in and was able to get a verbal settlement within 2 to 3 weeks after taking my case. He communicated every action/communication immediately - which was in great contrast to the previous attorneys who infrequently returned my calls. I was very impressed with both his tenacity and communication skills.

Some one you can trust

Marty has always given me sound, pragmatic advice. Straight forward and honest opinions whether on a consult or a hire. Always puts the client first.

work compensation claim

Marty, and I will say Marty because he gave me the comfort when we first meet that it was okay to address him this way. He fought with and for me from the time I called about the accident until the day I received my compensation. He was thorough and did not allow me to be taken advantage of by the employer's insurance company. My workmen's comp checks started right away and the company paid all my medical bills for spinal fusion and therapy afterwards , he also sought Medicare-Set-Aside and it was awarded. I trusted Marty and he knew I was counting on him to enforce the laws to protect me in my accident and he did just that !

Professional Excellence

Martin helped me with a car accident I was involved in but wasn't at fault. He provided excellent advice numerous times along with contacting the insurance companies and reviewing all the various reports. His professionalism, knowledge, and compassion helped me through this difficult situation and I know he will go to bat for me if I need him to do more in the future. Martin comes highly recommended.

Professional Excellence

We hired Marty when our previous attorney became a judge. We needed our will updated and several other legal issues addressed during a move and real estate sale. Marty was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and more than helpful in addressing our legal issues and any questions we had. We highly recommend Marty for his professional excellence.
