Hire Marty if you want solid, practical advice

Almost any attorney can give you a correct legal answer. What I want is somebody who can weigh and balance the correct legal answers with my business needs and help me find the best practical solution. Marty delivers! If you are looking for somebody that can help your business needs, as well as legal... needs, I strongly recommend you hire Marty.

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.
