Practice Areas

Personal Injury

If you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s negligence, you deserve accountability—and compensation. Tree Martschink fights for victims in personal injury matters including car accidents, slip and fall injuries, and wrongful death claims. My goal is simple: to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially.

Business Law

Whether you’re launching a startup or managing a growing enterprise, you need reliable legal guidance at every stage. I help businesses form the right legal structure, negotiate and draft contracts, and navigate complex regulatory and transactional matters—so you can focus on growth.

Consumer Protection

Consumers have the right to fair treatment. If you’ve been targeted by deceptive practices, faulty products, or abusive debt collection, I’ll help you stand your ground and pursue a resolution that holds wrongdoers accountable.

Nonprofit Governance

I work with nonprofit organizations to build strong legal foundations, obtain tax-exempt status, and maintain compliance with state and federal requirements. Whether you're forming a new nonprofit or updating your bylaws, I help you stay mission-focused and legally sound.

Freedom of Information (FOIA) & Open Government

Public records laws are a powerful tool for accountability—but navigating them isn’t always easy. I help individuals, journalists, and advocacy organizations file FOIA requests, challenge improper denials, and promote transparency in government operations.

Civil Litigation

When disputes can’t be resolved through negotiation, I provide skilled representation in court. I handle civil matters including breach of contract, property disputes, and other conflicts—advocating for fair outcomes whether you’re bringing a claim or defending one.

Landlord–Tenant Law

Tenants often face difficult legal terrain when it comes to leases, evictions, and property conditions. I advocate for renters in disputes over unsafe housing, withheld security deposits, and improper lease enforcement—ensuring your rights are protected every step of the way.

Litigation & Trial Support

Strong cases are built long before trial begins. I assist trial counsel with legal research, motion practice, strategic planning, and record preservation. Whether you're preparing for a complex trial or anticipating an appeal, Tree Martschink provides the behind-the-scenes support that helps your arguments hold up in court—and beyond.
