Client Experiences and Case Management
Shirley Lance, a client who retained Shauna M. Martin following two auto accidents, noted that her attorney managed depositions and difficult fact-finding while seven months pregnant, maintaining communication through the conclusion of the matter. Another client, Jeanine Wright, credited Jeffrey Martin with taking on an injury claim near the statutory filing deadline and guiding her through the legal process alongside Shauna Martin.
