What Martin & Jones does

Martin & Jones, PLLC is a North Carolina-based plaintiff personal injury law firm founded in 1982 by John Alan Jones. The firm represents individuals who have suffered serious injuries or wrongful death due to the negligence of others, with practice areas spanning serious personal injury, workers' compensation, medical malpractice, mesothelioma and asbestos-related disease, Camp Lejeune water contamination, vaccine injury, product liability, burns and electrical injuries, and commercial vehicle accidents. The firm operates three offices in Raleigh (headquarters), Durham, and Wilmington, and has represented clients in more than 30 states for asbestos-related claims.

The firm's business model is built on a contingency fee structure — clients pay no fees unless the firm wins or settles their case, supplemented by free, no-obligation consultations. This removes financial barriers for injured plaintiffs and aligns firm incentives with case outcomes. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and primarily referral-driven, drawing clients from past plaintiffs, peer attorneys, malpractice insurance company representatives, and malpractice defense lawyers who route complex cases. Marketing is multi-channel: an SEO-optimized website, a legal-content blog, a YouTube video library, active presence on Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn, email newsletters, and community partnerships with Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina and Masonic Home for Children at Oxford.

The underlying technology stack is conventional legal practice and case management software rather than any proprietary platform; there is no AI/ML capability, mobile app, API, or integration ecosystem disclosed. Six attorneys are named publicly — John Alan Jones (founder/managing partner), Forest Horne (partner), Mike Riley, Hunt Willis and Steven Corriveau (shareholders since January 2023), and Kelly Elder (joined 2021) — supported by paralegal and administrative staff. Notable case results include a $42.5 million predatory lending class-action settlement against CitiFinancial, $38.75 million against NationsCredit, $9.25 million burn injury settlement, $7.8 million scaffolding collapse settlement, and a $7.5 million FELA mesothelioma verdict for a CSX railroad worker. The firm is privately held with no outside investors, funding rounds, or acquisition history.
