What Clients & Colleagues Are Saying

"Marta Stein represented our company in perhaps the most significant litigation matter that has arisen during my time as GROWMARK’s General Counsel, and she won several key victories for us in court that paved the way to a favorable business solution to a very sensitive situation.  Marta’s performance was exceptional, in terms of creativity, strategic thinking, thoroughness, preparation, written and verbal advocacy, and willingness to incorporate our business needs into her litigation strategies."

Brent Bostrom
General Counsel, GROWMARK, Inc. 


“A consummate professional:
unflappable, composed, quick thinking and focused on the results that she wants to achieve.”

Chambers USA


“...One of the sharpest litigator’s
minds I have ever encountered.”

McGuireWoods Partner

(Ret)/Fmr Asst. United States Attorney


She gives “wonderfully informed advice,” is “an excellent communicator and negotiator,” and is “very strategic and practical in her analysis and
recommendations.”

Chambers USA

"Working with Marta was the best decision we could have made. First and foremost, she delivered a successful outcome and turned a potentially messy process into an orderly one. Equally impressive, however, was the way she related to us as clients. Her straightforward, honest, but empathetic approach made it clear to us that we were in good hands."

Stuart Taylor
CEO, The Taylor Group


"Marta is an AMAZING attorney. I have known
her for 25 years and think the world of her,
the way she handles difficult situations and her
ability to determine non-confrontational ways
out (surprising for a litigation attorney). She is a
wonderful person and a pit bull when it comes to
negotiation - I would not want to be opposite her in the court room!"

Troy Henikoff

Managing Director, MATH Venture Partners,
Co-founder of Excelerate (TechStars Chicago), former
CEO of OneWed.com, president of Amacai and
co-founder and CEO of SurePayroll.com.


“Marta brings her drive and creativity to every engagement. She consistently solves issues for client satisfaction with successful outcomes. I strongly recommend engaging Marta if you are seeking an advisor who is totally committed to your success.”

Julie O’Connor

General Counsel, Chicago-based financial institution
