YOU SHOULD NOT BE DENIED MEDICAL AND MONETARY WORKERS COMP BENEFITS TO WHICH YOU ARE ENTITLED.

I have spent my entire legal career representing injured workers. I enjoy it because I get to help people with real injuries get the medical and other benefits they are entitled to under Washington law. I handle workers' compensation claims while they are being administered by the Department of Labor and Industries (DLI) or by a self insured employer. I also routinely represent injured workers in appeals before the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals (BIIA) and higher Washington courts. I have two daughters.

Well versed in his field
I had a phone consultation with Mr. Martin, and was very pleased with the expert advice he offered. I applied his advice where it worked to my advantage. Although, I didn't hire Mr. Martin, my experience with him during my consultation left me reassured in the event if my Labor and Industries claims was not settled to my satisfaction he would be very happy to take my case. I highly recommend him. Thank you Mr. Martin

Highly reccomend
He is very respectful, understanding, and caring. He answers questions in a timely manner. When I went through financial hardship he did not take any money for four months. Even though he is not my attorney anymore he allows me to contact him with questions. It is very hard to find an attorney as understanding and caring as him.

My L&I Case
Want/Need a no nonsense lawyer Grady Martin is for you-at first I was not sure how much I liked him as he is a GET TO THE POINT type person-However the longer I was with him the more I realized that this was me being dumb Grady's approach was actually the best for anyone's case! It was me trying to joke & kid around that was the problem !! ALL GRADY DOES IS TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.He will tell you in no uncertain terms what is going on & what is BEST for you & YOUR case he truly is not the golf playing or I can not be reached till who knows when type-I would truthfully say EVERY time I had a question/problem that I had Grady's ear and attention.Never a problem with a callback if he was in court or something promptly I was in touch as soon as he had time NOT NEXT WEEK !!! He was my lawyer a long time as my L&I case lasted 9 years not because of Mr.Martin but the Bozo doctors the state has you deal with ,the states taking their time and truly just because it is the "government" I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Grady Martin and no I am NOT related to him-he is good simple as that.Thank you Grady for getting me my pension and for teaching me that there is a time to joke but all his time is time you are using and he wants it to be used wisely.

Would highly recommend Grady for L&I or SSDi
I have had the pleasure of knowing Grady Martin for close to 9 yrs and he is the most honest and fair attorney I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.He has encouraged me to keep going when I felt like giving up.In the beginning of this I was a very scared person that lost a lot and had no where to turn.What Grady has done for me is way more that what I pay him.He has releaved my stress so I could have my life back.And there is no amount of money that can buy that.I have always been able to talk directly to him and he has always kept me informed of what to expect and what to do "ALWAYS" I hired him close to 9 yrs ago and wouldn't recommend anyone looking any farther!! Thank you Grady Martin!!

Workers compensation Attorney | May 09
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"In the legal community successful lawyers often fall into one of two categories: 1) exceptional legal researchers, meticulous and creative in their analysis and approach to legal issues or 2) trial lawyers, lawyers that excel at oral advocacy and hearing/trial strategy. Grady is an exception to that rule. He excels in both categories--wherever a case may lead from negotiations to trial, Grady has the talent and experience to get results and a track record of success to back it up. I refer all my workers compensation cases to Grady without hesitation."
