About Lewis A. Martin
Lewis A. Martin III has deep ties to the University of Virginia. He completed a B.A., an M.A., and a J.D. there, a string of degrees that shaped his legal and civic life. Those years in Charlottesville set the stage for a career that moves between private practice and public service.
He began his firm-level career as a shareholder at Martin & Martin, P.C. in 1980. Fourteen years later he became a shareholder at Martin & Raynor, P.C., a role he took on in 1994. Those positions mark long-standing leadership in local legal practices and reflect steady involvement in firm work over decades.
Beyond private practice, Martin serves in county government. He is the Assistant Commissioner of Accounts for Albemarle County, Virginia. In that capacity he works within the county’s judicial-administrative framework and handles matters the office is charged with at the local level.
Martin has maintained ties to the organized bar throughout his career. He is a current member of the Virginia State Bar and holds membership in the Charlottesville Albemarle Bar Association, where he participates in the Real Estate Section. Those connections place him in the professional networks that handle local legal issues and continuing education.
His educational background and long tenure in practice have informed a range of legal activity. The record of shareholder roles suggests experience in managing client matters and firm operations. Membership in the Real Estate Section signals ongoing work or interest in property-related law and transactions. As an Assistant Commissioner of Accounts, he also engages with the intersection of law and public administration.
Colleagues describe Martin as someone who has balanced firm responsibilities and public duties. He has shifted between the private and public sides of law without severing ties to either. That dual path has kept him present in Charlottesville’s legal community for many years.
Today Martin maintains an office at MartinWren, P.C. while continuing his duties with Albemarle County. He remains active in bar associations and local legal affairs. His current practice focuses on matters involving probate accounting and real estate law.
