86 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

April 18, 2023 by Morris Lilienthal

“23 GET LICENSE TO STATE BAR ASSOCIATION” FROM THE PROGRESSIVE AGE, 1937

Martinson & Beason, PC is a law firm that has been a staple of the Huntsville, Alabama community for over 80 years. Our firm was founded by Douglas Carroll Martinson, who passed the bar on April 29, 1937. This year marks the 86th anniversary of that momentous occasion, and we take great pride in honoring our founder’s legacy.

Today, the firm is still family-owned and operated, with the late Douglas Claude Martinson having served as the managing partner and his sons, Doug II and Mac, continuing the legacy as partners of Martinson & Beason, PC.

As we celebrate the 86th anniversary of Douglas Carroll Martinson passing the bar, we are reminded of the tremendous impact he had on the legal profession and the community of Huntsville, Alabama. We are honored to carry on his legacy and strive to provide our clients with the highest quality legal representation.

To commemorate this day, we wanted to share a newspaper clipping from The Progressive Age, which was published out of Scottsboro until 1962. The article lists Douglas Carroll Martinson as having passed the bar, along with two other Jackson County men.

This anniversary is a reminder of the hard work and dedication that our founder put into his legal career. We are proud to display his law license inside our firm’s conference room as a symbol of our commitment to upholding the values that Douglas Carroll Martinson instilled in our firm.

Clay Martinson Joins Summer Clerk Law Program at Martinson & Beason, P.C.

August 8, 2022 by Morris Lilienthal

Martinson & Beason, P.C. welcomed a familiar face this summer for its summer clerk program. Clay Martinson, son of Partner Doug Martinson, has grown up around Martinson & Beason through his father, grandfather, and uncle.

Clay is a rising 3^rd year law student at the University of Alabama School of Law, where he is a member of the Moot Court Board and competes as a member on the Labor and Employment Moot Court Team. Before law school, Clay majored in history at the University of Alabama, and served as Vice President of the Student Government Association.

In the summer clerk program, Clay performed research, wrote memos, drafted motions, and demand letters to insurance companies on behalf of clients. Clay worked on several litigation cases ranging from real estate and probate litigation, Medicare litigation, and serious injury car wrecks.

“Having the opportunity to clerk at the law firm my great grandfather started in 1937 is truly special for me. It is also a testament to the lawyers and staff to be in business for 85 years, where so many clients keep coming back. I have had a great summer getting to learn so many different areas of the law and look forward to taking that knowledge back to my last year of law school and my future law practice.”

We enjoyed having Clay this summer and wish him the best of luck in his 3^rd year.
