About Robert Martin
Robert Martin Bennett has practiced law through his firm, Robert M. Bennett, A P.C., since 1991. He appears in both state and federal venues, maintaining admissions in California and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. His career has been steady and anchored in courtroom practice and client counseling.
Bennett’s public record shows a long tenure as a Lawyer and Counselor at Law at the named professional corporation. That role suggests a blend of litigation and advisory work, and his federal admission means he has taken matters beyond state court when cases have required it. He regularly navigates procedural differences that arise between state and federal systems.
He represents clients in disputes that implicate California law and in matters that proceed to federal appellate review. In those settings he files briefs, argues motions and appears in hearings. He also provides legal advice outside the courtroom, counseling clients about the practical consequences of litigation choices. His practice is informed by many years handling matters in both courts.
Over time Bennett has developed familiarity with the mechanics of appellate practice in the Ninth Circuit. That work involves preparing records on appeal, framing issues for review and managing deadlines on complex dockets. On the state side he handles filings and proceedings under California procedural rules. The combination of state and federal admissions enables him to coordinate cases that span jurisdictions.
Clients who come to his office encounter a lawyer who has sustained a private practice for decades. The firm name indicates a small principal-led practice rather than a large national operation. That arrangement typically allows for direct contact between attorney and client, and continuity through the life of a case. It also requires managing a broad range of tasks that arise in ongoing litigation.
Bennett’s record is a straightforward example of a career lawyer who has maintained active practice and court admissions over many years. He continues to practice as of 2026 through Robert M. Bennett, A P.C., handling matters in California courts and in proceedings before the Ninth Circuit.
