Martin has more than 25 years of experience as a trial lawyer, having tried numerous cases in state and federal courts. Martin is co-chair of Cozen O'Connor's Personal Injury Group.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Martin graduated from St. Joseph’s University (B.A. magna cum laude, 1986), earned his law degree from Emory University School of Law (J.D., 1989), and his master of law degree in Trial Advocacy from Temple University Beasley School of Law (LL.M., 2010).
