Martin received additional distinction through her selection to both the Top 50 Upstate New York Super Lawyers list and the Top 25 Women Upstate New York Super Lawyers list.

The annual Super Lawyers designations honor just 5% of all attorneys in Upstate New York for demonstrating exceptional professional achievement while earning immense respect from their peers through a stringent peer review process. Further, the Top 50 Super Lawyers and the Top 25 Women Super Lawyers distinctions are reserved for the Upstate New York lawyers who receive the very highest point totals during the selection process.

With more than 25 years of experience defending complex, high-exposure litigation involving catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and property damage. Kathleen represents publicly traded and privately held corporations—from multinational manufacturers to family-owned businesses – in industries that produce appliances, heavy machinery, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. A significant portion of her work centers on fire-related litigation, typically involving multimillion-dollar exposures. Her knowledge of fire science and cause analysis has made Kathleen a go-to defense counsel in these technically demanding cases.
