Summary
Martin Schubert is a principal at McGavin, Boyce, Bardot, Thorsen & Katz, P.C. and he enjoys the more difficult out of the box cases that require creative approaches. He focuses primarily on the defense of individuals, companies, and governmental entities in claims of personal injury and property damage, regardless of the theory of recovery.
Martin Schubert is a first generation immigrant to the United States from Germany. Speaking to him, you would not know that he is not a native English speaker, but English is in fact his second language that he had to learn after moving to the United States when he was ten years old.
Outside the office he has a passion for soccer, snow sports, and Formula 1 racing. His ambitions include anything pro-environment, be that electric cars, solar panels, a (mostly) vegetarian diet, or recycling. He enjoys spending time with his wife and son, basically doing anything of interest to the family.
