Our Expertise

Personal Injury

Personal injury” covers many areas. Car crashes, dog bites, medical malpractice, defective products, slip-and-fall (or trip-and-fall), and wrongful death are some of the more-common types. Listing every type of personal injury case here would be a bit silly. One of our main practice areas is personal injury law. Andy has been taking on negligent people, corporations, and insurance companies and holding them accountable since he was a “newly hatched baby lawyer.”

Our Approach

We’re client centered. And that means we work with you every step of the way on your case. We involve you in most decisions and we make sure that we explain everything in terms that you don’t need a law degree to understand. When you hire Martin & Associates, you’re a key player in the process. We understand that each case is unique, and we give each and every case the individualized attention it deserves. We’re not an accident-settlement mill. If you know someone who’s worked with us in the past, we’d encourage you to speak with that person and get the low-down.

Many firms publish their verdicts and settlements, but we don’t. Why? Because no human being’s story is exactly the same. And we promise to give your case the personal attention it deserves. Nobody is a number here and we understand that.

So, if you’ve been injured by someone else’s negligence, give us a call. We don’t charge for initial consults in personal-injury cases and we don’t get paid unless you win your case.

Criminal Defense

We provide compassionate and comprehensive criminal defense services. If you’ve been accused of a crime or you’re being investigated, call us at (802) 479-0568. We have a proven record of success in the courtroom and we understand how terrifying it can be to be charged with a crime or accused of something you didn’t do. We prepare each case to go to trial and we thoroughly investigate your case so we’re not caught off guard.

Estate Planning

There are many end-of-life decisions that you will need to make and at Martin & Associates we can help you understand your choices. Beside wills and trusts, we can help draft: do not resuscitate (DNR) orders, advance directives, power of attorney (financial and/or healthcare), clinician orders for life-sustaining treatment (COLST), healthcare agent designations, and transfer on death (TOD) forms for vehicles. We can also work with you to ensure that all of your end-of-life plans work together to ensure your last wishes are carried out promptly and correctly.

Wills and Trusts

Wills –
At Martin & Associates, we understand that planning for when we are not here involves difficult decisions. We will work with you to effectuate your desires and ensure your final wishes are carried out. Many wills can be drafted in a few hours if need be. Besides drafting wills, we can also draft codicils (amendments to wills) and help you understand the probate process. Our firm can also act as the executor of your estate or aid your executor with the probate process from start to finish. At Martin & Associates, we can help you and your loved ones through all the challenges that end-of-life planning entails.

Trusts –
With complex estates or when trying to support children or parents with financial aid, a trust may be a viable option. Trusts are designed to disperse funds or items to individuals at designated times and can help avoid probate with when used in conjunction with wills. One area that trusts are beneficial is when individuals have out-of-state properties and do not wish to incur the expense of opening another estate. Trusts can also be used to help individuals qualify for Medicaid eligibility. Whatever your financial status, a trust may be a good thing to think about for you and your loved one’s futures.

Family Law

One of the more emotionally draining experiences in life is finding oneself involved in a family-law matter. “Family law” encompasses many different areas — divorce, separation, property settlement, alimony (spousal maintenance), custody (parental rights and responsibilities), child support, visitation (parent-child contact), stalking and abuse prevention, guardianship, enforcement of court orders (contempt), and state intervention in families. Most of these matters are handled in the Family Division of the Superior Court, but guardianship proceedings are normally handled by the Probate Division (which also handles wills and other probate matters).

We explain, guide and assist clients through both the legal perplexities and the emotional phases of family litigation. Elisabeth Kübler Ross outlined the five stages of grief in the order of what one experiences in the termination of a relationship:

DENIAL
ANGER
BARGAINING
DEPRESSION
ACCEPTANCE

These emotions are especially acute when dealing with children or the elderly. Normal advocacy sometimes is not the most appropriate way to resolve legal issues for the most vulnerable. That may require working with professionals to determine the best possible outcome for them.

Sometimes, clients can handle portions of family litigation themselves, but need professional legal support for some of the more complex issues that may arise. We also provide representation for certain facets for a case rather than doing for clients what they are able and choose to do for themselves — thereby keeping costs well within the means of our clients.

There are also incidents where the parties to a family matter have allowed those who know best — themselves — determine the fairest of outcomes. We also help identify issues overlooked by couples who want to conclude their relationships on friendly terms to assure that problems do not arise in the future because of language that omits a required resolution — such as removing a name from a mortgage that can have adverse consequences for a credit rating.

Finally, an order may need to be enforced. Support, be it for a spouse or child, is not being paid. Visitation with a child has been denied. A debt has not been paid off or property sold as ordered. Someone needs to be brought back to court to comply with an order. In that event, a court may order attorney’s fees and costs to be reimbursed to our clients who have to go to the expense of holding the offender in contempt of court.

These are but a few examples of our services to clients involved in family law issues. We care.
