Orlick Martin H - San Francisco, California

Evy L.

I have known Marty Orlick for over 30-years; both as a colleague and an advisor. He is my go-to attorney for commercial real estate and litigation matters in California. We have brainstormed and worked together on the most challenging and complex real estate, ADA litigation and compliance matters.
Marty's integrity, legal experience and expertise always shines through. He takes pride in his work and when representing clients Marty is respectful, dedicated and has the highest ethical standards. Clients know that their best interest his highest priority.
I recently learned that Marty received distinction as one of the Top Lawyers in America and also the Prestigious Attorney Award for 2022 by Martindale-Hubble Judicial Edition both awards he clearly deserves.
I recommend Marty Orlick without reservation.

I’ve worked closely with Marty for years on challenging and complex ADA compliance and litigation defense matters. I know Marty to be an exceptional litigation attorney and a consummate professional. Marty is able to distill complex matters to work efficiently with clients while being mindful of costs and maintaining the highest of ethical standards. I would recommend Marty without reservation. Marty received the Prestigious Attorneys Award for 2022 given to a select group of nationally recognized attorneys who have earned “The highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards."

I have worked with Marty for a number of years, referring him to several clients for challenging and complex ADA lawsuits, and each time, he has looked for creative and cost-effective solutions for his clients to obtain the best outcome.

I was not surprised when he received the highest distinction as a Best Lawyers in America for 2022, or the AV Preeminent Award for 2022 for earning "the highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards” by his peers and judges.

I would not hesitate to refer Marty to anyone needing a professional, dedicated, and diligent attorney for ADA and Real Estate related matters.

Last summer we started getting lawyer letters at my family owned business in Oakland, pertaining to an ADA lawsuit. A couple weeks later we were served with the lawsuit. I attempted to answer the summons and soon realized i was in way over my head. A friend of mine highly recommended Marty to me, at this point I was pretty scared not understanding what we were up against, as soon as I called and spoke with Marty I was instantly put at ease. He took the time to explain exactly how ADA lawsuits generally go and how he and his team would take care of this matter. Step by step Marty and his team kept me informed. Every phone call or email was answered promptly. Everything Marty explained actually happened. He and his team resolved our case with virtually no exposure to my family. Marty and his team really know there stuff. My family and I were very pleased with the way our case turned out. Following their advice, we should never see another ADA lawsuit again. I highly recommend if you are ever in this position to definitely call Marty you won't be disappointed.

I met Marty Orlick over 22 years ago when I was a law student. After 17 years of practicing law myself, I joined a company that has a variety of real estate holdings with corresponding ADA obligations. When I had an ADA matter last year that needed a defense, I immediately thought of Marty as a lawyer I trusted and respected with experience in real estate litigation and ADA issues. I was happy to find that Marty was the same lawyer I remembered -- but with added practical experience. In addition, Marty has assembled a team that practices the same way he does. I worked with Stuart Tubis, who was great, but I could tell that anyone on this team would be solid.

There are many ways to handle a case, and rather than tell me what I wanted, Marty and Stu worked with me to develop a creative, cost-effective defense strategy that met our company goals. They carried out the strategy and got the case settled within the defense budget quickly, and for a reasonable amount. Marty and Stu are guys that practice with the highest degree of professional ethics. If I need a tough but practical lawyer to represent us again, I would hire him and his team again without reservation.

I’m a New York City real estate attorney and had a client facing some significant ADA/access claims. He needed some rescuing. I found Marty, and it did not matter that we were on opposite coasts. Marty took control of the matter and brought it to a quick, creative and easy conclusion. Marty has been my go-to ADA person ever since. I recommend him to clients all over the country. ADA/access claims can become expensive if not handled correctly at the outset. That’s why you need someone as experienced and well-versed in the field as Marty on your team from the start.

I have known Marty for more than 20 years professionally and personally.  We have worked

litigation, who displays the highest ethical standards in everything he does.
We have shared clients and they have always been pleased with Marty’s creative approach to
litigation, responsiveness, and cost-effective results. I gladly refer the most complex matters to

To no one’s surprise, Marty received the 2022 AV Preeminent Attorney for his professional
expertise and highest ethical standards from Martindale-Hubble, and has been recognized as one
of the Top Attorney’s in America.

Marty has been our family attorney for nearly 40 years now. He has represented us in complex real estate matters. He has successfully advised us in such matters as unlawful detainers, lease negotiations and ADA compliance. In addition he litigated a very complicated UMB dispute and construction defect case favorably. I have always know him to be extremely knowledgeable and highly ethical in all his dealings. Pleased to know that he has been awarded the prestigious 2023 Martindale-Hubble Award for combined highest legal ability and ethical standard.
