At Latham & Martin, we are proud to announce that Kelly Martin has been named one of the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers.

A Career of Recognition: From Top 40 Under 40 to Top 100 National
This is not Kelly’s first honor from The National Trial Lawyers. Earlier in his career, he was recognized as a “Top 40 Under 40” attorney in Virginia, a designation reserved for young attorneys who demonstrate exceptional skill and promise in trial advocacy.
Now, his recognition as one of the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers reflects not only his continued professional growth but also the respect he has earned across the legal community. Moving from a rising star in Virginia to being honored nationally shows the trajectory of a career built on skill, persistence, and dedication.

National Recognition Backed by Local Advocacy
Although this award is national in scope, Martin’s practice remains deeply rooted in Richmond. For his clients, this means they can access nationally respected trial talent right in their own community.
He has always believed that excellent representation must be both highly skilled and personally accessible. While his awards recognize his professional accomplishments, his day-to-day practice continues to center on the needs of local clients, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.

His strength as a trial lawyer comes from his ability to combine legal knowledge with storytelling and advocacy. He prepares every case thoroughly, presents persuasive arguments, and ensures that his clients’ voices are heard in court.
Judges and juries respond to his professionalism, clarity, and dedication. These qualities, along with a proven record of success, are what earned him recognition first as a Top 40 Under 40 attorney in Virginia and now as one of the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers.
A Richmond Attorney Committed to Justice
For Kelly, trial law is not about accolades—it’s about fighting for people whose lives have been disrupted by negligence or wrongdoing. His clients come to him during times of stress and uncertainty, and his role is to provide both legal advocacy and reassurance.
