Martin’s passion and drive for justice began in criminal court where he gained a considerable appreciation for the power and compassion of trial attorneys working at the Kansas City Public Defender’s Office during law school. Meeting and working on behalf of accused inmates facing life in prison impressed upon Martin the importance of the profession and the need for aggressive advocacy. Martin has taken that same mentality and fight to his own civil cases where he has flourished as a trial attorney.
In addition to his work on behalf of the injured, Martin’s service extends into the community through numerous pro bono and volunteering opportunities. His active participation in our city include helping Spanish speaking domestic violence victims obtain temporary restringing orders against their abusers at the Domestic Violence Project.
