Martin’s Practice Areas

Martin focuses his practice on class action litigation, bringing his analytical background in accounting and finance to complex cases that affect large groups of people harmed by corporate wrongdoing.

Class Action Litigation

Class action lawsuits allow individuals who have been similarly harmed by a corporation’s actions to band together and seek justice collectively. Martin’s 34 years of experience and background in accounting and finance make him particularly effective at analyzing complex financial wrongdoing and building cases that hold corporations accountable for widespread harm.

Consumer Protection

When companies engage in deceptive practices, hidden fees, or unfair business conduct that affects consumers, class action litigation provides a mechanism for accountability. Martin works to protect consumers from corporate practices that prioritize profits over fair dealing.

Complex Commercial Litigation

Martin’s dual degrees in accounting and finance provide a strong foundation for understanding complex commercial disputes, financial fraud, and business litigation matters that require careful analysis of financial records and business practices.
