Martin Law Group, P.C.

While we practice in most areas of law, we focus on five specific areas of law, including one subtype (short sales). Read more below to get a general idea of each area or click on one of the links on the left for a more detailed overview.

Wills & Estates are an important part of our lives. For many people, a simple will together with a living will and a healthcare proxy will cover their needs. For others, a more complex estate plan, including one or more trusts together with medicaid planning, is needed to ensure that their wishes are met. Regardless of your needs, we are happy to help you. Click on the Wills & Estates link on the left for more information.

Real Estate law encompasses the entire process of buying, selling, leasing, or renting real property. We handle all types of transactions, including single & multi-family homes, condominiums, coops, apartments, and commercial property. We represent buyers, sellers, banks, lessors, lessees, landlords, tenants, and all other conceivable parties to a real estate deal. Click on the Real Estate link on the left for more information.

Short Sales are a specific type of Real Estate transaction. Short sales are an important tool for people who, for whatever reason, find themselves unable to continue making payments on their mortgage. Many times you are unable to sell your property through a normal transaction because the mortgage amount is more than the current market value of your property. Instead of going through a foreclosure sale and finding your credit ruined, many times you can work with an attorney to reach an agreement with your mortgage holder. Your mortgage holder, who is just as interested in avoiding a foreclosure as you are, will often be willing to accept a smaller payoff amount provided that your property is sold for its fair market value and certain other obligations and requirements are met. Provided that your mortgage holder agrees to this deal (called a "short sale"), you will walk away from the transaction free and clear of your mortgage debt.

Litigation is difficult and potentially very expensive. Sometimes, though, it is necessary or even unavoidable. We have experience in matters such as small claims, landlord-tenant disputes, mechanic's liens, contract disputes, personal injury, wrongful death, and lawsuits against the government. Regardless of your problem, we invite you to stop in or give us a call to setup a free initial consultation. We also encourage you to get price quotes from more than one law firm. While it is not always possible to get a fixed price quote, attorneys should always be able to tell you their hourly rate and give you an idea as to how much they expect your problem to cost. Just as you would shop around for a home or a car, you should feel confident in shopping around for an attorney. It is important to find a lawyer you like who you can also afford.

Criminal Law is something we'd all like to avoid. Unfortunately, things happen and many of us will benefit from the help of a knowledgable attorney who we like and trust. From traffic infractions to misdemeanors to first degree murder, we have helped clients obtain justice in the entire realm of criminal and vehicle & traffic law. If you have a problem, or know someone who does, contact us and schedule a meeting to see what your options are and how we can help you.

Appeals are something that not many attorneys are experienced with or willing to handle. When you are unhappy with the result of litigation, it is important to consider an appeal quickly. The timeframe in which you can appeal a matter is small. If you think you may wish to appeal a matter and your attorney does not handle appeals, consider contacting us as soon as possible. We will discuss the matter with you, look over the relevant documents, and prepare an appeal as quickly as possible. It is critical to file the preliminary papers in an appeal within a few weeks or you can lose your right to appeal entirely. Whether you wish to appeal a state or a federal matter, we can help.
