Martin L. Fineman

When representing defendants, Martin Fineman’s philosophy is to help you find the quickest “off-ramp.” Does someone owe you an indemnity? Can we end the case with a motion to dismiss? Can the case be settled sensibly and quickly? When representing plaintiffs, Martin’s goal is to maximize your recovery while minimizing your investment of time and money.

Martin has tried numerous cases for more than 35 years before judges, juries, and arbitrators in the areas of telecommunications, securities, intellectual property, contract, corporate, and international law, with an emphasis on class-action cases, and has argued appeals to the California Supreme Court, California Courts of Appeal, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Martin is also a commercial and securities arbitrator through the American Arbitration Association, a judge pro tem and a judicial arbitrator for the California Superior Court, and a mediator for the California Court of Appeal.
