We contacted The Martin Law Group and were connected with Clay Williams for our case that involved a long-term disability claim. Mr. Williams knew his stuff! He kept us informed every step of the way. Ours was not a big case, but he gave us his time and attention just as if we had a multi-million dollar case. He helped us reach a satisfactory resolution in just a few months. We would recommend the Martin Law Group and Clay Williams without hesitation.
