A Kentucky native, Marti is an attorney licensed to practice in Kentucky and Indiana, Certified Research Professional, Founder and Executive Director of Dvine Justice, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization offering pro bono legal services to sex-trafficked, abused, and exploited youth, and an entrepreneur who owns her law practice, Thurman Law Office, PLLC. Marti divides her practice between representing seriously injured people and clinical trial research heroes who strive to find cutting-edge treatments and cures for their patients with modern-day diseases. Marti devotes her practice to the Lord and shares the Gospel with her clients by taking every opportunity to share His love with those in need of His amazing grace and mercy. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Marti has been actively involved as a member of Southeast Christian Church since age 16. The Good Lord has blessed her with two perfect gifts from above (James 1:17), her beloved grown children, whom she homeschooled for several cherished years, and both were awarded scholarships to college, with one also currently attending law school on a full scholarship. She also adores her three tiny four-legged companions, living proof of those specials gifts given for extra good measure -- pressed down, shaken together, and running over into our laps! (Luke 6:38)
