A Legal Career Built on Dedication and Results
Kathy Martin began her legal journey with a commitment to excellence. She graduated from Villanova University in 1989 and earned her law degree from Temple University School of Law in 1992. From the very beginning, she focused her career on criminal defense, where she quickly became recognized for her sharp intellect, attention to detail, and powerful cross-examination skills.
Throughout her three-decade career, Kathy has represented thousands of clients charged with serious offenses. She has successfully defended individuals accused of crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, arson, drug trafficking, DUI, and assault, among others. Her courtroom experience is extensive, and she has achieved acquittals in high-stakes jury trials across Pennsylvania.
While practicing in the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of Philadelphia, Kathy earned the nickname “The Pitbull in a Skirt.” This name stuck for a reason. She built her reputation on her tenacity, preparation, and refusal to back down when her clients’ futures were at stake.
From Prosecutor to Defender: Experience on Both Sides of the Law
After relocating to Northeast Pennsylvania, Kathy brought her expertise to the other side of the courtroom. She served as an Assistant District Attorney in Pike County and later as a Senior Deputy District Attorney in Wayne County. During this time, she prosecuted a wide range of criminal cases, from DUI and drug offenses to violent crimes such as aggravated assault and homicide.
This unique experience gives her an advantage that few defense attorneys have. Kathy knows exactly how prosecutors think, how they build their cases, and what strategies they use in court. She uses that knowledge to anticipate their moves and build stronger defenses for her clients.
When you hire Kathy Martin, you are not just hiring a defense attorney. You are hiring someone who understands both sides of the courtroom and who knows how to use that insight to protect your rights.
