About August V.
August V. Martens earned his Juris Doctor from Loyola University New Orleans. His time at Loyola exposed him to a mix of classroom doctrine and practical skills training. He left law school prepared for the varied demands of private practice.
Martens moved into private practice after completing his J.D. He has spent his career working in small firm settings and solo practice. Those environments asked him to handle a broad range of tasks. He has counseled clients, prepared filings, managed discovery, and taken contested matters through resolution. Working in firms of modest size gave him frequent client contact and responsibility for all phases of a matter.
Across his career, Martens has balanced advisory work and contested proceedings. He has written motions and positions for court, worked on settlement discussions, and handled client preparation for hearings. He approaches each matter by sorting issues into discrete steps and setting practical objectives. That method helps clients understand options and likely outcomes.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation. He tends to favor structured planning over last-minute efforts. He is comfortable both drafting transactional documents and addressing disputes that require formal advocacy. The day-to-day work often involves a mix of document drafting, client meetings, and courtroom appearances when necessary.
In 2026 he maintains a practice under The Martens Law Office, LLC. The firm serves individual and business clients and handles matters that range from counseling to contested proceedings. Martens manages client intake and case strategy, and he remains involved in every step of client representation. He places a premium on clear communication and timely responses so clients know where a matter stands.
Outside of direct client work he has engaged in continuing legal education to keep current on procedural developments. He also spends time reviewing recent decisions and practice guides that affect the types of matters the firm handles. That ongoing study informs the practical advice he gives clients.
He currently practices at The Martens Law Office, LLC, where he represents individual and business clients in both counsel work and litigation.
