    All these years later, as Miami Dolphins tackle Jonathan Martin's saga swirls under a national spotlight, the only definitive point in a confusing period of "he-said-they-said" is the Dolphins couldn't have tangled with a player better equipped for the involved legal and ethical implications.

    Martin simply had to turn to his mom, Howard-Martin, whether the volatile workplace that led to his leaving the team met legal standards.

    Howard-Martin now is a corporate lawyer for Toyota in Los Angeles. But for nearly two decades she litigated employment-law cases, spoke at legal symposiums as an expert on the subject and wrote articles for legal journals with ambitious headlines like, "A Critical Analysis of Judicial Opinions in Professional Employment Discrimination Cases."

    Nope, mom didn't disingenuously take these events over and lawyerly spin 'em for her son's benefit. No way, didn't happen. :unsure:

    I have very little trust for attorneys and I find it hard to believe she could in any way be objective in this situation.

    That's why I belong to PETA- People for the Elimination of Trial Attorneys

    PS- for those of you who are in the legal profession, this post was not meant to insult, intimidate or bully you in any way. This was a joke.

    This is her son. To expect anything less from her would be naive; regardless her profession.

    One would think fairness would become the apex of moral standards in such situations. Those standards are thrown to the wayside when family is involved.

    Howard-Martin? Really? She had to keep her last name even in that era?... Lame.

    So....what the heck does he want? What does his lawyer want? Martin, meet with Miami, make your demands then GO AWAY.

    I would expect her to realize her son is a grown man who, at some level, should have tried to handle this himself. This didn't mean punching someone or an altercation. So far they've painted RI as a ****bird, which he very well be. But JM played in that playground and it looks like when mommy found out he got his dick slapped.

    My wife kept her last name. She already had research published under her maiden name before we met, so changing her name wasn't really an option for her even though she would have preferred to do so.

    I have young children; and whether right or wrong, I still understand her stance. I do not really get what you mean in your closing statement.....

    Regardless, this is HER child. She is doing what anyone should expect her to do. Dumber things happen on our streets because of 'he said' antics. I suspect with your verbiage, you might "get my drift?"
