John Martin is a Florida construction attorney, and this is his personal blog. He created Hammer & Law to share real-world legal insight with Florida contractors, subcontractors, and construction professionals.

John literally grew up on job sites, spending school breaks working for his father’s drywall company. That foundation in construction gives him a perspective few attorneys share, helping him better understand the problems his clients face. He is just as comfortable reviewing a contract or lien notice as he is walking a job site or climbing into an attic. Construction is not just something he litigates, it is something he understands from the ground up.

John is an attorney at The Schatt Law Firm, where he advises and represents clients in business and construction law matters, including contracts, liens, DBPR complaints, and collections, and he also handles dispute resolution and litigation.
