Martin is the founder and the managing partner of Quintana Law Group, LLC based in Chicago and Downers Grove. He focuses his practice on state and federal criminal defense along with personal injury, workers’ compensation, and medical malpractice.Prior to forming Quintana Law Group, LLC was a partner at a small boutique firm on Michigan Avenue that focused on personal injury, workers’ compensation, and medical malpractice. His strong presence as a highly successful trial lawyer and his prominence throughout Chicago has provided him the opportunity to develop a large and wide range of client base which affords him the ability to service a vast amount of clients. Martin’s continued service to the community and complete passion for the practice of law is one of the main reasons why he continues to serve as a member of multiple legal, ethnic, and professional organizations throughout the State of Illinois. It has been these qualities and experiences which have led him to be elected as President-Elect for HLAI, and which will guide him in taking HLAI to even greater heights.
