Overview

An experienced litigator and wage and hour guru, Marty Heller is a partner in the firm's Atlanta office and is a core member of the firm’s Wage and Hour Practice Group. Marty brings together a combination of litigation abilities and detailed compliance knowledge to try to solve your wage and hour problems before they hit the media and your company’s bottom-line. 

Given his background, a significant portion of Marty’s practice focuses on wage and hour law, including minimum wage, overtime, timekeeping, and exemptions under federal law. As a member of the Compensation Audit and Counseling Services team, Marty advises clients nationwide on preventive issues, representing employers in government investigations, and conducting compliance audits with respect to wage practices.

Marty also maintains a heavy litigation practice, defending complex employment matters and class or collective actions. He also is a frequent speaker on these issues, including seminars, webinars and industry events. 

Marty also devotes much of his practice to providing effective and efficient general counseling to his and the firm’s clients, with a focus on resolving difficult issues to avoid litigation. When litigation cannot be avoided, Marty defends clients in discrimination and harassment claims as well.  

Marty has been listed in Georgia Super Lawyers – Rising Stars since 2015, and is a graduate of Leadership Cobb (part of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce).  

Marty is a resident of Cobb County where he resides with his wife, two children, and three dogs.
