Ethlena Martin

Ethlena Martin is an Attorney with LPJ Legal and a litigation advocate whose work is centered on clear, client-focused representation. She brings courtroom experience from public service and approaches disputes with an emphasis on careful analysis, practical communication, and advocacy. Her background includes state prosecution and federal litigation experience, giving her familiarity with evidence, case preparation, courtroom procedure, and the demands of complex contested matters.

Martin earned a Juris Doctor from Stetson University College of Law after completing a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at Georgia State University. During law school, she worked with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, where she developed experience in legal analysis and federal litigation. Her science background adds a disciplined analytical foundation that supports her review of complicated facts, evidence, and competing legal arguments.

Martin previously served for several years as a Florida State Prosecutor. In that role, she managed high-stakes and complex child-abuse dockets and developed substantial trial experience in emotionally difficult cases. Her prosecutorial work required preparation for hearings and trials, evaluation of evidence, witness-related issues, and clear presentation of facts to judges and juries. That experience now informs her approach to litigation and client counseling in private practice.

Ethlena Martin also maintains a strong commitment to public service. She provides pro bono legal representation to military personnel, their families, and community members who may otherwise have limited access to legal assistance. Her combination of prosecution experience, federal litigation exposure, scientific training, and community service supports a practice focused on understandable advice and thoughtful advocacy for clients navigating demanding legal disputes.
