Meet Attorney Martin Haxel

|

Licensed in Missouri in 1981 and Illinois in 1982, Attorney Martin Haxel has spent more than four decades practicing law on both sides of personal injury and workers’ compensation cases. Raised in Alton and a Springfield resident for 42 years, he knows this community because he’s part of it.

For Martin, legal work starts with people, not paperwork. A member of our team describes his strength as “talking to people and knowing what they need”—a quality that shapes every client relationship at Haxel Law.

Meet Attorney Martin Haxel and hear more about the perspective he brings to every case.

Insurance Industry Insight on Your Side

Before representing injury victims, Martin worked for insurance companies handling personal injury and workers’ compensation matters. That experience means we recognize the tactics insurers use to minimize or dispute claims before they gain traction. We investigate how injuries happened, gather evidence to establish fault, identify available policy limits, and work with health insurance professionals to negotiate reimbursement—so more of a settlement goes back to the client. Each case calls for its own strategy, whether that means negotiating a fair settlement or taking the fight to trial.

Prepared for the Long Road When Necessary

A serious injury or workplace accident doesn’t arrive alone. It brings medical bills, lost income, insurance calls, and legal questions—all at once. We handle the details our clients shouldn’t have to carry and keep communication clear at every stage. With more than 100 trials and appeals behind us, we’re prepared to pursue a case through litigation and, when the circumstances call for it, before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission.

Personal Attention From the First Call Forward

Clients deserve an attorney who listens to their story and takes their concerns seriously—whether they’re sorting through a complex insurance claim, recovering after a car accident, or trying to understand their options after a workplace injury. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every case, regardless of size.

We offer free consultations and work on contingency fees, so there’s no cost to sit down and talk through your situation. Our team is available 24/7, including Saturday office hours. Call us at (217) 215-4166.

    "Thank you, Martin."
    When I got injured, I knew I was going to be out of work. I knew I was going to be struggling with my family. I was really worried about the direction my life had turned towards. If I hadn't contacted Martin Haxel. I would still be fighting to get what I deserved. What was owed to me. Mr. Haxel however, stayed with me. He told me the truth. He didn't lie, or manipulate anything. He was honest and informative. He was the hope I didn't have at that time. He struggled with me to get all of it resolved. He did it with integrity, honesty, and a sincere understanding of what I was going through. To anyone considering having Mr. Haxel represent them in similar situations...I would say, you couldn't pick a better person. He's a great lawyer. He does great work. He's a nice person with a lot of experience in this field. If there's anyone you can turn to when no one will listen or even attempt to help you do what is right...Mr. Haxel is the one. I can't say enough good things about him. Now that my case is settled thanks to his work, I'm going to miss having someone having my back. He's a good man and I hope he feels good about what he's done when he lays down to sleep and reflects on his days, weeks, months, and years. People like him, give people hope, and faith that there are good people still roaming around this crazy thing called life. Martin, thank you. You're a beast.
