Hired Attorney Martin Schubert

We worked with Martin Schubert from 2022 through 2025, and I could not have asked for better representation. From the very first phone call to the final filing that dismissed our case, he treated me exactly as I had asked—like a friend who needed guidance. He kept a diligent eye on every date and filing deadline, making sure nothing was ever overlooked. What stood out most was how consistently he kept me informed. At each step of the process, he explained what was happening, what to expect next, and what action I needed to take. Whenever new paperwork or a summons arrived, he let me know right away how to handle it. His clear communication and steady guidance helped ease so much of the anxiety I had about not knowing what to do because he always did. He is trustworthy, detail-oriented, and deeply motivated to represent his clients. I’m grateful for his professionalism, compassion, and thoroughness, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal support.

Hired Attorney Martin Schubert

Our dog nipped a FedEx driver. The driver tried to take advantage of the situation and retained a plaintive lawyer firm. Fortunately, the driver described very different event than what happened. And, we had a video. Mr. Schubert worked with the plaintiff lawyer to show the false information provided by his client. The Plaintiff lawyer dropped his client. When a second plaintiff lawyer showed up, Mr. Schubert again managed the situation and that lawyer quickly disappeared. Mr. Schubert carefully explained points of the law to me.

I was so nervous to do my disposition and he literally! Held my hand and got me through it tears and all. He shut down the other lawyer when they were not asking appropriate questions. I didn’t lie and I stayed strong but if it wasn’t for him I don’t know what I would’ve done. He made me feel so much better and I knew I had someone on my side!! Thank you so much!!

Martin is professional, experienced, and has an assuring demeanor. He explains the process and keeps the client informed at important stages. He is always available to respond to questions. He handles the issues of the case well, and is very good at dealing with difficult personalities on the opposing side. I highly recommend him.

Hired Attorney Martin Schubert

Martin was retained by my insurance firm, USAA, to represent me in a personal injury claim. If USAA hadn't retained him on my behalf, then I would have hired him myself because both his reputation and his performance in the matter were exceptional. Throughout pre-trial motions and hearings, Martin was communicative and thorough. He prepared me for my deposition and proactively reached out to appraise me of the status of the case. I was most impressed with his ability to successfully balance his duty to represent me with his need to work through USAA on settlement terms and trial. He quickly earned my trust, and I always felt that his advice and recommendations were sound, transparent, and put my interest first. Despite several difficult dealings with the plantiff's attorney, he successfully navigated the case to settlement, below policy limits, and without any personal exposure to me. Because of him, I am able to move on with the rest of my life, and for that, I am grateful.

Hired Attorney Martin Schubert

My insurance company retained Martin Schubert as my counsel after a car accident; this was my first time going through something like this but Martin made the entire process a breeze. I've never been sued before and the whole thing was extremely stressful; however, I was highly satisfied with the service and advice received. I worked with Martin for about six months until the resolution of my case, he guided me through each step, made sure to keep in contact with me, and helped calm me down. I appreciated his real talk, he gave me his honest opinion which was appreciated. He was great to work with and I would highly recommend.

Martin was very responsive and got a settlement that was agreeable. He was able to guide us through the process and was always available to answer questions as needed. He was also great at asking us for help with industry terms/procedures relevant to our case, that I wouldn't except him to know. Would definitely hire him again.

Hired Attorney Gifford Hampshire

Mr. Hampshire was quite knowledgeable about Virginia Law and explained in layman's terms the details and possible outcomes of my case. He remained professional yet relatable to me and my witnesses. Mr. Hampshire and office provided timely responses to emails and calls. Mr. Hampshire won my case and offered assistance in the future if needed.

Martin spent a the last few years standing by my side and never gave up! He constantly gave me updates about my case without me having to reach out first. Martin is a very determined and compassionate lawyer!

Working with Martin was great. He walked me through my case from beginning to end and always kept me informed, but most importantly he always showed confidence and knowledge in our process. I would work with Martin again.
