14 years Experience
I’ve spent most of my life in San Diego, growing up in Chula Vista and attending St. Augustine High School and UC San Diego. I started in law as a file clerk and legal assistant at an insurance defense firm before deciding to become an attorney to help injured individuals. I earned an academic scholarship to DePaul University College of Law in Chicago. After graduating, I returned to San Diego and spent 13 years at a firm focused on workers’ compensation and personal injury, before co-founding Martin & Blancato, APC in 2024.
Early in my career, I saw how overwhelming it is for injured workers to navigate the legal system while managing their health and livelihood. I’ve dedicated my practice to helping clients get the medical treatment, benefits, and support they deserve. I build a tailored strategy for every case and pride myself on finding creative, effective solutions. I genuinely care about my clients, and I believe that’s evident in every interaction with me and my team.
I’m a member of the San Diego County Bar Association and its Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS), as well as the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association (CAAA). I’ve presented at several CAAA legal conferences—including in Maui—and regularly host free informational seminars for labor union members across San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial counties.
I live in Bay Park with my wife, three kids, and our dog. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, cooking, exercising, playing golf, attending my kids’ activities, and cheering on the San Diego Padres.
