Martin (Marty) J. Lehman

We all started somewhere, and Marty started on an Iowa farm. While working with his parents and his 8 siblings raising corn, soybeans, hay, hogs and cattle (and while playing high school and college basketball), Marty had instilled in him a strong work ethic, perseverance, ambition and integrity. In 1982, after graduation from law school at the University Iowa, Marty moved to Dallas with all his worldly possessions (which fit easily into his ‘74 Volkswagen bug), with no job, but with plenty of drive and ambition. After knocking on many, many doors (this was before the internet), Marty got his start at Hunter, Vineyard, Drake & Miller (which years later evolved into Miller & Lehman). Marty is grateful to his early legal mentors (the late Bill Hunter, Tim Vineyard, David Miller, Barbara Staubus Miller, and Harry Martin), and credits them with helping him develop into the lawyer he is today. Since 2006, Marty has been with his present firm, Palmer Lehman Sandberg (formerly Palmer & Manuel). Legal problems come in all shapes and sizes, and often overlap into multiple areas of law. Marty has been helping clients address those problems since 1982, and as a result has a very wide breadth of experience. Throughout his career, Marty has guided individuals and companies in all areas of their business, from formation and expansion, to transactions, and to litigation and other forms of resolving disputes. Since early in his career, Marty has represented individuals, businesses and lenders in connection with lending, finance, real estate, commercial litigation and all aspects of commercial transactions, including corporate debt restructuring. He has extensive experience in out-of-court workouts and non-judicial foreclosures of liens on real and personal property. If out-of-court resolutions are not attainable, Marty serves as lead counsel in commercial litigation in state, federal and bankruptcy courts, including appeals, as well as in arbitrations. Marty has also developed a unique niche - he uses his experience from lending, real estate, business transactions, and litigation, to assist family law attorneys in structuring and documenting property divisions in divorce proceedings, and to enforce property divisions and payment obligations post-divorce.
