Manuel A. Martinez Law provides sophisticated litigation for public and private corporations, financial institutions, accountants, commercial landlords, real estate developers, lawyers and others in state and federal courts.
I graduated from Yale College and Yale Law School and have been licensed to practice law in California since 1984. I have over 35 years of experience as a business litigator and trial attorney. I am admitted to practice before all California State Courts, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Central, and Southern Districts in California, and before the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 8th and 9th Circuits. I am well-respected by my legal peers for my legal abilities and professionalism. Former clients appreciate my thorough analyses and advice, as well as my frequently positive outcomes, whether through negotiating a favorable settlement, prevailing on important court motions, trials, or arbitrations.
SERVING CLIENTS THROUGHOUT SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA COUNTIES AND BEYOND FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS
I have successfully negotiated and litigated proceedings on behalf of domestic and foreign corporations, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, general partnerships, nonprofit corporations, and sole proprietorships. The scope of my practice includes disputes between companies, between companies and their shareholders, members, or partners, as well as representing officers and directors, and between individuals.
My commitment to excellence has been recognized by inclusion in California’s Super Lawyers list of top-rated attorneys 2018-2022. Less than 5% of the state’s business litigation attorneys are part of this list annually. I have also earned accolades such as selection by The Best Lawyers in America for commercial litigation three years in a row and Bay Area Lawyer Magazine’s vote for one of the “Top Lawyers in the Bay Area.” In 2017, TopVerdict.com included me for having obtained one of the Top 100 Settlements in California.

Having worked at a large law firm and a smaller boutique law firm, I know there are costs and benefits to having a team of attorneys working on your case. A major benefit to having a team is getting different ideas and perspectives about how to handle the case. And some cases need a team because they generate more work than a single attorney can realistically manage. A major cost is having multiple attorneys reviewing the same documents and case law. Clients often complain about costs when multiple attorneys appear to be billing for the same tasks. Working with just one attorney to resolve your legal dispute often results in leaner invoices. Without the staff and overhead costs of a large law firm, I can carve away unnecessary billing. Clients appreciate that about my law firm.
