Martin Law LLC

Focus and practice areas

Injured workers in Pennsylvania are the core clientele of this Philadelphia firm. Its work covers workers' compensation, Social Security disability, long-term disability, and veterans benefits. All four areas involve helping injured or disabled people claim benefits they are owed, which gives the firm's work a clear shape.

Workers' compensation is the center of the firm's work. In Pennsylvania, a work injury claim can involve wage-loss payments, coverage of medical bills, and benefits for a specific loss such as the use of a hand. These claims run through a system of workers' compensation judges, and a disputed matter can move up to the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board. Martin Law takes on the harder end of this, such as denied claims, where an injured worker has already been told no.

Denied claims and appeals

An appeal is a large part of workers' compensation work. A denied claim does not end the process. A worker can ask a judge to review the decision, present medical evidence, and testify about how the injury happened and what it now stops them from doing. Insurers and employers often contest those points, so the appeal turns on the record a claimant can build. Martin Law lists this appeal work among the things it handles.

Beyond the job site

The firm also represents people seeking Social Security disability benefits. Such a claim often starts with an application, then moves to reconsideration and a hearing before an administrative law judge when the first answer is a denial. That path can run many months, and the hearing is where legal help tends to count most, because a claimant has to prove how a condition limits daily work.

Long-term disability and veterans benefits sit alongside that work. A long-term disability claim usually turns on the wording of an insurance policy and the medical proof a claimant assembles. Veterans benefits run through the VA and carry their own appeal steps. A client whose injury reaches more than one of these systems can keep the whole matter with one firm. That single point of contact can ease a process that often runs across separate agencies.

Who the firm represents

Martin Law works only on the employee side of these cases. The firm states that it represents workers and stays with the claimant in a dispute. In my opinion, that single choice shapes how the firm works, because the work points toward the person filing the claim.

The site lists the kinds of jobs behind these claims. Construction, healthcare, factory and warehouse work, trucking, and public sector roles all appear. A warehouse worker may bring a repetitive strain claim. A construction worker may file after one serious accident. The firm says it handles claims in all of these fields, so its caseload likely holds both slow-building injuries and sudden ones.

How the team is built

Martin Law states that all of its partners are certified in Pennsylvania workers' compensation law. That certification is a formal credential in the state, granted to attorneys who meet set requirements and pass review in the field. As a reviewer, I read a full partner group holding it as a sign of a firm organized tightly around this one area of law.

The firm's site names two of its attorneys, Joseph Huttemann and Mark Davis. Both appear in client comments on the home page. The site names them but does not publish their bios or titles, so what the pages confirm is that both are firm attorneys. The certification claim, applied to the partners as a group, tells a reader more about the team than any single name does.

Where the firm works

The main office sits in Philadelphia. A second office near Harrisburg, in Camp Hill, runs by appointment. The firm's site also lists a presence in Bristol, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and Reading, which spreads its reach across the southeastern and central parts of the state. For a workers' compensation client, that spread can matter, since a hearing is tied to where a worker lives or was hurt.

Spanish-language service is available. That helps workers who follow a claim through a legal system in a second language, and access like that can decide whether someone files at all. The firm also keeps active social media profiles, a small sign of how it reaches the people it serves.

What the firm reports about its record

The home page reports two figures. Martin Law states that it has practiced for more than 40 years and reports more than $3 billion in settlements over that time. In workers' compensation, a settlement often ends a claim with a lump sum in place of ongoing checks, so a total like that reflects many resolved cases. Both come from the firm's own pages, so I present them as the firm's account of its history.

The site does not list a founding year and gives only ranges such as more than 40 years and nearly four decades. In my opinion the settlement figure is the more concrete of the two, because it points to a volume of resolved cases behind the firm. Its pages describe a firm centered on workers' compensation, with Social Security disability, long-term disability, and veterans benefits set alongside it.
