About Thomas F.
Thomas F. Martin built a career that began long before he ever entered a courtroom. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy with a B.S. in 1968, an experience that shaped his approach to discipline and public service. He later earned an MBA from Golden Gate University in 1979 and returned to school decades later to complete a J.D. at Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 2006. The sequence of degrees marks an unusual educational arc: military training, business management, and then law.
After law school, Martin moved into private practice and has since been a partner at Martin & Martin, LLP. He practices in Georgia, and his name is principal among the firm's leadership. He holds membership in the Georgia State Bar and is admitted to practice in multiple federal forums, including the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Middle and Southern Districts of Georgia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The list of admissions reflects steady expansion into federal litigation.
His professional life spans roles and responsibilities that draw on earlier leadership experience. Colleagues describe him as deliberate in litigation strategy and attentive to procedural detail. He has handled matters that required appearances in both state and federal venues. That practical courtroom experience, combined with his business training, informs how he prepares cases and advises clients about risk and process.
Martin's work at the firm involves supervising case teams and directing courtroom advocacy. He balances case management duties with courtroom appearances. Within the firm, he occupies a senior role that includes mentoring younger lawyers and consulting on complex procedural issues. His background in business and the military contributes to a methodical approach to discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation.
He remains an active member of the Georgia State Bar and maintains his admissions to federal courts in Georgia and the Eleventh Circuit. Those credentials allow him to represent clients in a range of civil matters that reach both trial and appellate levels. He keeps an office at Martin & Martin, LLP and continues to accept matters that require litigation in Georgia state and federal courts.
As of 2026 he remains a partner at Martin & Martin, LLP and practices in Georgia, representing clients in matters brought in state courts and in the Northern, Middle and Southern federal districts of Georgia, as well as the Eleventh Circuit.
