About Percy
Percy Martinez began his academic journey in business and followed it into law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Miami in 1985 and then enrolled at Florida State University College of Law, where he received his J.D. in 1989. Those years framed a dual perspective on commercial life and legal practice that has shaped his work ever since.
After law school, Martinez moved into private practice. He has spent more than three decades working as a lawyer, navigating the practical demands that come when commercial concerns meet legal rules. Over the years he has advised clients on matters where business judgment and legal analysis overlap. His background in business gives him a particular lens for assessing transactions and regulatory questions.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in his approach. He favors clear explanation over legal jargon. That approach helps clients understand options and trade-offs. Martinez is known for steady preparation and for taking time to map out practical steps rather than promising quick fixes.
His courtroom experience and transactional work have informed one another. Time spent drafting agreements made him a more exacting litigator. Time spent in hearings honed his sense for settlement dynamics. These strands of practice often converge in a case file, and Martinez has built a career on managing that convergence across different matters.
Outside of casework, he has maintained connections to legal education networks and to business circles in the region where he trained. Those ties have provided a steady stream of referrals and kept him current on shifts in business practice and regulation. He has also mentored younger attorneys, offering guidance on how to translate academic training into everyday legal decisions.
Today, Martinez continues to practice law, drawing on both his business degree and his legal training. His practice centers on matters that call for an understanding of commercial context as well as legal rules. He remains active in advising clients whose situations require both business judgment and careful legal analysis.
