Maria J. Martinez

I began my career in personal injury law in 2013, serving as a Senior Case Manager and Office Manager at a Beverly Hills law firm. In this dual role, I managed a caseload of more than 400 matters from pre-litigation through litigation in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. This experience strengthened my ability to manage complex cases with precision and diligence while providing exceptional client service and effectively coordinating with insurance adjusters, medical providers, and other parties involved in the claims process.

While working full-time, I also attended school full-time, reflecting my commitment to professional development, discipline, and long-term growth. I later continued in similar leadership roles at a law firm in Encino, where I further expanded my experience in personal injury case management, office administration, and legal operations.

During law school, I participated in several internship programs, including an invaluable opportunity with the Appellate Division of the San Bernardino County Public Defender’s Office. There, I assisted in the preparation of appellate briefs on behalf of individuals seeking to challenge wrongful convictions, an experience that further developed my legal research, writing, and advocacy skills.

After graduating from law school and passing the California Bar, I advanced into my current role as a Pre-Litigation Attorney, where I oversee the firm’s entire pre-litigation department. In this capacity, I supervise case managers, develop case strategies, prepare and review demand packages, negotiate settlements, and advocate for favorable outcomes on behalf of injured clients. Drawing on more than a decade of experience in personal injury law, I bring a comprehensive understanding of the claims process—from initial client intake and case development through negotiation and resolution—along with a strong commitment to effective advocacy and client service.
