Martin J. Solomon

Martin’s practice, Solomon & Relihan, exclusively handles nursing home abuse, neglect, malpractice, and wrongful death cases. He represents families across Arizona in matters involving preventable injuries, unsafe conditions, inadequate medical care, and failures in supervision.

Martin approaches nursing home abuse cases with a focus on accountability, preparation, and integrity. He believes meaningful change occurs when facilities are required to confront unsafe practices and when families receive clear, evidence-based answers about what happened to their loved ones.

His work emphasizes thorough investigation, careful documentation, and a readiness to pursue cases through trial when necessary. Martin treats each case with the seriousness it deserves, recognizing both the legal complexity and the profound human impact involved.

Martin has been litigating complex civil cases in Arizona for decades and is regarded as one of the state’s most experienced attorneys. He has been involved in some of Arizona’s earliest and most significant jury verdicts involving nursing home negligence and has played a role in shaping how these cases are litigated statewide.

Earlier in his career, Martin practiced as a personal injury attorney during a period when legal advertising rules were changing nationwide.
As restrictions on attorney advertising were lifted, Solomon, Relihan & Blake was among the firms that recognized the opportunity to reach injured individuals who otherwise might not have access to legal representation.

As Martin’s practice evolved and became increasingly focused on nursing home abuse and neglect, that same commitment to public awareness and accountability carried into his elder advocacy work, where many of the most serious issues remained hidden from public view.

Martin J. Solomon’s work has extended beyond the courtroom into public advocacy and policy discussions surrounding elder care and nursing home accountability.

In July 2025, Martin submitted written testimony to the United States Senate Special Committee on Aging regarding Arizona’s nursing home abuse and neglect crisis. Drawing on decades of litigation experience, his testimony detailed systemic failures within long-term care facilities, including chronic understaffing, inadequate oversight, and corporate practices that divert resources away from resident care.

His testimony provided an Arizona-specific perspective and emphasized the human cost of neglect, calling for stronger enforcement, transparency,
and accountability to protect nursing home residents.

Families often come to Martin after noticing unexplained injuries, sudden declines, pressure sores, falls, dehydration, infections, or other red flags. His team’s approach emphasizes:
