She served as an Assistant U. S. Attorney from 1983-1988, and as a Special Assistant U. S. Attorney from 1988-1990.

Martin is licensed to practice law in Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. She is a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and certified in Healthcare Privacy (HCPC), Healthcare Compliance (CHC), and civil and domestic relations mediation.

U.S. Attorney

After running as a Republican in a county which had not elected a Republican since Reconstruction, Martin re-entered private practice. She then returned to public service when nominated by President George W. Bush as the first female U. S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama in September 2001. During her 8 years of service, from 2001 to 2009, she was recognized nationally for a top ranked Healthcare Fraud Task Force which returned over $750M in qui tam settlements/recoveries to the U. S. Treasury, as well as the North Alabama Public Corruption Task Force which obtained over 125 convictions of elected/appointed officials and contractors including the mayor of Birmingham, 5 of 6 Jefferson County commissioners, the Chancellor of Alabama Post-Secondary and several state legislators. Martin led the prosecution of the HEALTHSOUTH $2.8B accounting fraud which netted the first conviction under Sarbanes-Oxley and 17 convictions of corporate officers for various frauds and FCPA violations. She also oversaw the successful prosecution of Eric Robert Rudolph, the FBI's Most Wanted domestic terrorist for his bombing of a Birmingham abortion clinic.

After leaving public office, Martin served as the Vice President of Ethics and Compliance for RegionalCare Hospital Partners of Brentwood, Tennessee from 2010 until 2012. She then served as a healthcare compliance expert for various entities and returned to public service as Deputy Attorney General for the Alabama Department of Public Examiners, the financial watchdog agency for the State of Alabama. There she oversaw implementation of the Recovery Audit statute for Alabama.

Deputy Attorney General

Martin was selected to serve as Chief Deputy Attorney General by Attorney General Luther Strange in April 2015 and oversaw the legal and administrative operation of the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Alabama. Following the resignation of Strange on February 9, 2017, she served as acting Attorney General for one day until her replacement by Steve Marshall.
