About

Over the past 30 years of law practice, I have earned millions of dollars for victims of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, employment discrimination, catastrophic personal injury, and medical malpractice. I have litigated cases and written and argued appeals in state and federal courts throughout the country. I learned how to fearlessly investigate wrongdoing as an undergraduate at Yale while working undercover for the Southern Poverty Law Center tracking the Ku Klux Klan. I learned how to write effective and persuasive legal briefs while clerking for The Honorable John T. Copenhaver, Jr., United States District Court Judge, after graduating from Georgetown Law School. I learned how to successfully represent plaintiffs while working as an associate for Melvin M. Belli, one of America's greatest trial lawyers. Before launching McBrayer Law, I co-tried and won a $95 million sexual harassment/retaliation verdict against a multi-million dollar corporation in federal court. My firm is dedicated to helping individuals obtain justice against the corporations and individuals who have unjustly caused them harm.

I feel so lucky that someone recommended Martha to me after my injury. From our first phone call on, I knew I was in great hands. She is an excellent communicator and very responsive-- I never felt in the dark about next steps or potential issues. She is extremely diligent and organized. Most of all, I trusted her wholeheartedly to represent my best interests. In the end we settled for more than double what I anticipated. Highly recommend!

Martha not only settled my case, she kept me calm while doing so. In an era where women's rights in the workplace are improving, it's still quite distressing and fear inducing when the time comes to stand up for yourself. Martha assured me, every step of the way, I was doing the right thing not only for myself but other women like me. She saved me from a toxic environment where I was not growing. She helped me get the funds I deserved in order to heal and start anew.

Martha McBrayer is the most professional, diligent attorney. Her compassion propelled her to persevere for my rights. Her work ethic resulted in a favorable settlement. I highly recommend Martha McBrayer.

I received Martha McBrayer's contact information via a close friend that is also an attorney. Initially I inquired to explore my options in regard to a potential harassment situation and through Martha's wisdom and guidance learned that a discrimination claim was viable to pursue. Throughout the process Martha was a knowledgeable and timely communicator, an advocate for my best interests at all times, and an excellent negotiator. Martha represented me during the pandemic and I truly believe that without Martha's experience and tenacity, the results would not have been nearly as positive. I have, and will continue, to recommend Martha to any in need of her guidance and expertise.

I had a frivolous lawsuit filed against me involving wrongful employment and breach of contract. Although the case was baseless, it had the potential of dragging on and costing a lot of time, money and aggravation. Martha McBrayer was able to resolve it in about two weeks. The suit was dropped, costing me only Ms. McBrayers very reasonable fee. I would definitely hire her again.

Martha is an incredible lawyer, and I feel very lucky to have had her recommended to me three years ago. She stuck with our case and dug in repeatedly, always patiently and promptly answering my questions and making herself available in spite of her busy schedule. She not only worked very hard to get results, but showed that she actually cared about our situation. I can't recommend her enough.

Few years ago, I was devastated by daily harassment and retaliation at work. I was refused by some lawyers as mine was difficult case, when I almost gave up, my friend told me to contact her. She clearly explained the situation, how she can help and what I should do. Her action was very quick and efficient. In three months while I was fighting the situation, I was very scared and nervous, so I might contact her too much more than I should, but she replied all my contact very patiently and quickly with advices and encouragements. Case closed nicely and because of her, I was able to let it go and moved forward. I was very lucky to see her, I definitely recommend her.

Martha is an excellent Lawyer. She is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. At what could easily be described as one of the most difficult times in my life - Martha was there fighting on my behalf and getting us to victory! She is was an excellent communicator and went above and beyond to ensure that I understood every aspect of my case and the benefits or consequences of each decision we made. We were truly a team. I have already recommended her to others.

As the daughter of two lawyers, plus the granddaughter and niece of lawyers (6 lawyers in my nuclear family), my expectations are relatively high. Of course, I took a recommendation from my family and that lead me to Martha. Every interaction that I had with her was a positive one. She is extremely responsive with phone calls/text/emails which I very much appreciate. She is very smart, that's obvious, but always took my questions seriously and explained anything that I didn't understand. I felt very protected and secure with her representation...something that is extremely important in a sexual harassment case. When I came to her, my statute was an issue, as I had debated going forward with the case for quite a long while. The federal statute had run out, but the state statute had not. I was still very very nervous about moving forward with the case for a million reasons. However, I am SO glad I proceeded b/c I got a settlement that has helped me repair the financial damage that was done when I was unable to work b/c of the mental stress the harassment put on me. From almost doing nothing I ended up with a six figure settlement! I cannot recommend Martha highly enough!

Martha is an absolutely exceptional attorney. She was not just adept and responsive, but always communicated with a great deal of compassion and understanding - which is a quality that you want from an attorney in a sexual harassment suit. She will respectfully fight on her client's behalf until the very end. I highly recommend retaining her.
