SUSAN MARTIN, PE, MBA, JD

Ms. Martin was born in 1958 in Columbus, Ohio.  She is the youngest of three daughters and because she was born to German immigrants, she takes pride in being a “first generation” U.S. citizen. 

In 1980 Ms. Martin graduated summa cum laude from Ohio State University with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Civil Engineering.  From Ohio State, Ms. Martin was recruited and began her career as an Environmental Engineer with the Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) in San Francisco, California.  While working at PG&E, she enrolled in the University of California at Berkeley’s Masters in Business Administration (MBA) executive program and she obtained her California professional Engineer’s license (PE).  In 1983, upon receiving her MBA, Ms. Martin relocated to Houston Texas.

In Houston Ms. Martin worked as a Store Supervisor of company owned Exxon U.S.A. Car Care Centers.  She had bottom line responsibility for a territory that grossed 13 million dollars a year in revenues.  Also while in Houston, Ms. Martin became the proud wife of Mr. Greg Martin and the even prouder mother of Zachary and Travis Martin.

Mr. Martin’s employer, Harris Corporation, relocated the family to Atlanta, Georgia in 1988.  The family took up residency in Alpharetta in 1988 and has lived in Alpharetta ever since.  Zachary, at 22,  is a second year student in Mercer University’s Southern School of Pharmacy.  Travis, at 20, is a sophomore at Gainesville State College in Athens.

After being employed as an Environmental Engineer with the U.S. EPA Region 4 in downtown Atlanta for 7 years and becoming a Georgia PE, Ms. Martin enrolled in Georgia State University’s College of Law in 1999 where she became a registered neutral (mediator) in 2001 and a cum laude Juris Doctorate graduate in 2002.  Since then, she has become a registered patent attorney with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and she was admitted to the Georgia Bar in October 2003.

Currently Ms. Martin is Of-Counsel to The Law Office of Danny Coleman, PC where she handles Federal Court appearances in Bankruptcy cases, U.S. Trustee depositions, and general civil litigation.  Prior to her engagement with The Law Office of Danny Coleman, PC, Ms. Martin represented the Georgia Department of Transportation in real estate acquisition and eminent domain matters.  When Ms. Martin is not advocating for a client as a lawyer, she enjoys mediating a case.   During her six years as a registered neutral, she has developed specialties in landlord/tenant, eminent domain, and real estate matters.  She has a unique ability to reduce complex technical and/or emotional matters into resolvable solutions where parties realize the virtues of settling their case.  As a lawyer or a mediator, Ms. Martin is results oriented.
