Martin Shellist

Firm: Shellist Lazarz Slobin LLP
11 Greenway Plaza , Houston , Texas 77046
Practice Areas: Assault & Battery, Civil Rights, Constitutional , Discrimination, Drugs & Medical Devices, Employment & Labor , Labor , Legal Malpractice, Motor Vehicle Accidents, Personal Injury, Premises Liability, Products Liability, Professional Malpractice, Securities , Sexual Harassment, Toxic Substances, Wrongful Death, Employment & Labor
I am a trial lawyer dedicated to helping executives and others protect their rights. You worked hard for your position, salary, and benefits (stock, health insurance, etc.), and I'll work just as hard to protect them. Since 1994, our Firm has negotiated thousands of settlements, including severance packages, for executives, "c"-level officers, senior-level management, and others. You will want a seasoned trial lawyer handling your negotiations from the beginning so that you are fully protected in the event you find yourself in litigation -- which is typically an avenue of last resort. You will also want an attorney undaunted by the people trampling your rights. I have taken the depositions of CEOs, judges, mayors, police chiefs, company owners, chairmen of boards of directors, and others who oftentimes act like they are above the law. This experience is a reality check for many when they are called to task under oath and the truth is exposed. Since graduating from South Texas College of Law in 1993, I'd say that, other than negotiating settlements, the cross examination of witnesses (at trial and at deposition) is my favorite thing to do.Of equal import, our Firm has a great reputation among employment defense lawyers in Texas and across the United States. We have worked hard since establishing the Firm in 1994 to earn and protect our good name, so we know what's at stake when your employer attempts to take yours from you. Although some of our case successes are listed on this web site, feel free to call me to discuss our Firm's specific experience handling cases involving issues such as yours. For example, just recently I won a $3.2 million sexual harassment verdict against a former judge. For that victory, I was named "Litigator of the Week" by Texas Lawyer. I also have the honor of having handled a whistleblower lawsuit involving the City of Houston, Texas, which resulted in what I believe is the largest such jury verdict against the City. My client, Sam Levingston, was awarded in excess of $1.2 million, plus attorney's fees. I have also successfully handled multi-state class action claims against Starbucks and Brinker International. These are not meant to be fully inclusive, nor as guarantees of success, but are a reflection of the commitment I make to each case I accept. Whether your issue involves Sarbanes-Oxley, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, state-enacted whistleblower laws, discrimination, breach of employment contracts, or wage violations (including class actions), I will dedicate the Firm's resources to protect your rights.Although I was born in Chicago, the fine State of Texas has been my home since 1977. I am licensed to practice law in Texas, and in other federal jurisdictions. If a case involves people or issues in other states, we'll travel or retain local counsel to ensure we are on a level playing field. No matter what you decide, I want you to find counsel with whom you fit. You should select a law firm with deep, relevant experience. Please call or email me so that we can explore whether Shellist Lazarz Slobin, LLP can be of assistance.

Walter Clark Martin IV ("Clark") was born and raised in Houston, Texas.

While at Texas State, Clark was a member of Phi Eta Signa National Honor Society and an Associated Student Government Senator. Clark was also a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity, Student Foundation, and was the Vice Chair of Federal Communications for the Legislative Relations Agency.. Upon earning his B.A., Clark continued his education at Texas State and received his Master's Degree in Legal Studies, during which time he worked as a Graduate Assistant in the Legal Studies department. Clark subsequently attended the South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas, where he earned his Doctorate of Jurisprudence (law degree) and became a certified mediator.. While pursuing his studies, Clark gained experience in several industries. During his summer and winter breaks, Clark worked off-shore on pipe-lay vessels and overseas as a weld inspector. When he wasn't working offshore, Clark found himself working for the Honorable William Royal Ferguson (Federal Judge for the Western District of Texas), Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (United States Senator for the State of Texas), Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the Honorable Frank G. Evans, and Dr. Walter A. Wright.. Clark began his legal career serving as general counsel to Austin Social Planner (where he continues to serve as general counsel) and working for a large insurance defense firm in Houston, Texas.
