John T. Martin
SENIOR TRIAL ATTORNEY
John T. Martin is a senior trial lawyer at Sullivan & Sullivan LLP whose practice focuses on complex construction, premises liability, and catastrophic injury cases. He is frequently retained by other law firms as co-counsel or trial consultant in matters involving OSHA standards, multi-employer jobsite liability, and code-based safety violations, as well as serious slip-and-fall cases on snow and ice.
John has secured multiple top jury verdicts in Massachusetts, including one of the four largest verdicts of 2018 for a construction worker permanently disabled by a defective asphalt sealer. In 2023, he obtained a Top-10 verdict on behalf of a lineman injured by a collapsing utility pole, followed by another Top-10 verdict in 2024 for a slip-and-fall on snow and ice. His cases often involve highly technical proof, forensic reconstruction, and advanced trial presentation.
Before focusing on catastrophic injury litigation, John built a national reputation through landmark employment and civil rights cases. His victory in Franchina v. City of Providence expanded LGBTQ protections under federal law, and his earlier criminal defense work helped expose the Annie Dookhan drug lab scandal — resulting in the first conviction overturned for forensic misconduct in Massachusetts. That foundation, rooted in uncovering systemic negligence and institutional failure, continues to inform his work holding corporations, property owners, and contractors accountable for unsafe conditions.
John is a frequent lecturer for other attorneys on jury persuasion, trial tactics, and negotiation strategy. A graduate of Suffolk University Law School (J.D., cum laude) and Nichols College (B.A., summa cum laude), he is admitted to practice before the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals, and has appeared pro hac vice in multiple jurisdictions nationwide. He serves on the Board of Governors of the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys and has been recognized among the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 and as a Super Lawyers Rising Star.
