Ball Janik LLP has announced that Kimberlee A. Martin joined its Construction Defect Practice Group as an associate in the Orlando office. With more than a decade of litigation experience, she strengthens the firm’s trial capabilities for community associations and commercial property owners facing complex construction defect and insurance recovery claims.
“Florida property owners are dealing with complex building problems and less time to act on them. That puts a premium on attorneys who can take a case the distance,” said James C. Prichard, Managing Partner of Ball Janik LLP. “Kimberlee has carried property and insurance claims from pre-suit all the way through trial, working hand in hand with experts along the way. Community associations and commercial property owners need exactly that combination, and she brings it to our team on day one.”
Martin’s experience spans homeowners’ property claims, insurance disputes, jury trials, dispositive motions, depositions, mediations, site inspections, and coordination with contractors and experts. This hands-on background supports Ball Janik’s construction and insurance work immensely, as site evidence, expert testimony and trial readiness can be critical to recovering for property owners.
“I’ve seen firsthand how much is at stake when a building has problems: owners’ investments, residents’ homes and everyone’s peace of mind,” said Kimberlee. “Ball Janik is focused on exactly those clients, which made this a natural next step for my practice.”
