Biography
Area of Focus
Martha “Martie” Chotiner is a Partner with King Law, serving clients in Mecklenburg, Iredell, Cabarrus, Gaston, and Lincoln Counties. She serves as the Vice Chair of the firm’s Transactional Law Practice Area Group. Her practice focuses primarily on transactional law, including drafting wills and trusts, probating estates, adult guardianship, adoptions (child and adult), name changes, and other non-litigation matters.
Martie exhibits compassion for her clients. Often, clients who are seeking an attorney to probate an estate or file for adult guardianship are grieving the loss of a loved one or processing a loved one’s inability to make health and financial decisions for themselves. Martie strongly believes that representing clients with these types of legal issues requires an attorney who understands the emotional toll these circumstances can take on some people. She strives to achieve her client’s legal goals while recognizing that not everyone processes grief equally, which may require a more customized approach, if feasible.
Professional Background
Martie graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno, in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in public health education and has built a career in healthcare. After changing careers, Martie graduated from Liberty University School of Law and is licensed in North Carolina.
