Martin Ramey zealously represents plaintiffs in serious personal injury cases, trucking and motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death and other complex litigation. He is also a formidable and compassionate advocate for survivors of institutional childhood sexual abuse, having obtained a recent $140 million default judgement against a teacher for the sexual abuse of 14 students (after 4 years of litigation) and a related $5.75 million settlement against the 12th largest school district in the state; and a $3 million settlement against the 3rd largest school district in the state for the sex abuse of two students by a teacher’s assistant.
Born and raised in a “mill village” in north Georgia, he was the first in his family to ever attend college – working long hours during the day and attending class at night in Atlanta. During that time, Martin discovered his passion for helping others. He found a job working for a local food bank and later a national nonprofit anti-hunger organization, where he assisted in efforts to promote and pass a national Good Samaritan Law, under then-U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Dan Glickman. The legislation was designed to assist nonprofit, community feeding programs in collecting excess food from restaurants and caterers throughout the United States without the worry of liability from such donations.
Martin received a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from Arizona State University and his Juris Doctor from the University of San Diego School of Law. While at USD, Martin was a member and Executive Comments Editor/Symposium Coordinator of the San Diego Law Review. He also holds an LL.M., magna cum laude, in Health Law, Policy & Bioethics from the Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis.
Martin’s practice is exclusively devoted to litigation. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his spouse, their twins, and the family dog, Daisy.
