Amazing Real Estate Lawyer!

Marta worked on Spring Creek Group’s lease acquisition and it was an amazing and painless process. She is beyond professional, very helpful makes the “law” easy for non lawyers to understand and doing the lease with Marta and Summit Law was an absolute pleasure. Best of all; she was able to get us EV...ERYTHING we asked for... she is that good!

CFO review of Marta Lowe working as a securities associate

I worked with Marta Lowe early in our respective careers - she as a securities law associate, I as the CFO of an internet company doing multiple financings including an IPO. Marta was professional, courteous, responsive and sincerely interested in her client. The relationship partner relied on Marta..., as did my company, for a very substantial amount of the legal work related to securities offerings by a company with a very complex capital structure. She was always a pleasure to deal with.

Super responsive down to earth attorney. She's a refreshing change!

Marta was referred to me by another Summitt attorney that I have used for many years. I didn't know that I could be any happier than I was until I started working with Marta. She immediately became knowledgeable about all aspects of my company, the business I am in, and as a result I felt totally t...aken care of and that my attorney was invested in my success. Marta is fair and reasonable as well as being totally on top of things and very responsive.

Review of Marta's time at B.F. Saul Co.

I worked closely with Marta at B.F. Saul Co. when she was in-house in our legal department. From the moment she arrived Marta quickly become one of the shining stars of our legal staff. Marta is smart, capable, dedicated, thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. But that is only part of the st...ory. Real Estate depends significantly on relationship management. And, having done all kinds of deals over the past 10 plus years, I know that outside counsel can facilitate, or sour, the relationship between the business people. Marta is definately in the "facilitating" category! She is engaging and charming, and does a fabulous job of developing and maintaining positive professional relationships with other counsel and with the parties to the transaction. She has mastered the ability to avocate for her clients interest without acting like a bull in a tea shop and without losing sight of the bigger picture. A truly great person to have on your team!

Recommendation of Marta Lowe

Marta is a superb lawyer. She has worked for me on both real estate and corporate projects, as well as general business contracts. She is exceptionally good analytically, a good advocate for her clients and has extraordinary people skills. Marta thinks things through thoroughly, and at the same ti...me is very responsive. She thinks about how things actually work, not just about legal principles, which makes her a great choice as a business lawyer. I could not give her a higher recommendation. If you have a chance to use her, take it!
