George E. Martin III

George E. Martin III practices employment and workers’ compensation litigation, governmental litigation and relations, general civil litigation, and provides human resources training and counseling.

The core of his practice consists of representing employers facing legal challenges filed by employees. Specifically, George defends public and private employers facing administrative charges and lawsuits filed by employees alleging discrimination, breach of contract, retaliation, wage and hour violations, and workplace injuries. His broad experience enables him to defend employers facing multiple, diverse claims simultaneously filed by a single employee.

George has also successfully represented a number of the state’s public corporations, county governments, and municipalities against a variety of unique legal challenges, including First and Fourteenth Amendment lawsuits, taxpayer standing challenges, writs of mandamus, and claims premised upon federal and state statutes. He proactively advises public entities on intergovernmental relations, regulatory compliance, and statutory interpretation.

George’s litigation background enables him to assess the legal exposure created by workplace policies and procedures. He frequently speaks on employment-related issues to employers, trade groups, and professional organizations.

While attending law school, George served as a law clerk to the Honorable Judge Jeffre Cheuvront of Nebraska’s Lancaster County District Court.
