About
Work is not only our method of survival, but also a cornerstone of our identities. I practice employment law with the goal of pursuing action to assert workplace balance because, although life is often not fair, with the right advocate, you may still get what you deserve. I predominantly represent plaintiffs in litigation of employment claims. My practice includes wage and hour claims for classes and individuals, family and medical leave violations, unlawful retaliation, discrimination and harassment, violation of non-compete agreements, privacy violations, and whistleblower claims. Prior to entering litigation, I assist clients – both plaintiff and defense – in navigating the processes of various administrative agencies, including the EEOC, IDHR, and IDOL. In addition, I also work pre-litigation to negotiate severance and separation agreements. In light of the fact that I speak Spanish and have previous experience working in immigration law, I regularly represent clients who have immigrated to the U.S. Consequently, I am very familiar with navigating the various issues that may arise when litigating for a non-U.S. citizen, as well as representing clients who do not speak English. No matter the forum or size of the claim, my goal is always to obtain the best possible result for my clients.

Consulted with Attorney Martin in regards to a discrimination and retaliation claim against my employer. Ms. Martin was professional, caring, direct and to the point while listening to my entire complaint. Other attorneys I've spoke with were not near as professional, intelligent about the law, and informative as Alexis Martin.
I would strongly recommend Alexis to everyone facing immigration problem. I am sure that after 20 years when I ll look back I'd remember her as the person played one of the most crucial roles in shaping my life for better. I received my Masters in Biotech from Northwestern University and I got STEM OPT denied by USCIS for unpaid intern work like many others in fall 2013. After talking to many attorneys nationwide, none of the lawyers was ready to bet on my case till I talked to Alexis. She was very positive, professional and friendly. While rest of the people were going with Attorneys more than 20 years of experience, I went with Alexis for my life defining case. I even remember that couple of attorneys said that I should leave US as I290B success rate is 2%. We had just two weeks to file I290B when she started representing me. She had to learn all the technical aspects of my complex cancer research involving gold nanoparticles and cellular pathways, company profile, company history and all other technical details in that short time which is not easy. Apart from that Alexis went above and beyond and worked with other agencies and organization to best prepare my case within that short time frame. All her efforts worked out and I got my I290B approved right before Christmas and get my EAD today right before new year. I don't have words to express my deepest gratitude to Alexis for everything she has done for me. It wasn't about money, it wasn't about anything else; she genuinely went all out for me. To be honest I wasn't positive about the outcome and was packing my bags with heavy heart to join school in UK. I couldn't believe when I she called me to tell me that I got my STEM extended. I have no doubts in her abilities.. She is really a miracle worker... Amazing Lawyer..Amazing Professional.. Amazing Person..
