Business Attorney Testimonials

”I have relied upon Ed Martin of Sage Investigations for approximately 15 years (since shortly after his retirement from IRS CID). He has always handled himself in a professional manner and always provided outstanding expert services to my clients and me. I cannot say enough positive things about Ed; accordingly, I unequivocally recommend him based on his education, background, experience and his keen insight into economic crimes.”

“Ed Martin and Sage Investigations served as fraud experts in a financial fraud case we brought on behalf of a prominent technology company. Mr. Martin pieced together the defendants’ financial records and provided a clear and concise expert report that provided useful context for the defendants’ fraudulent actions. His work was very valuable and helped us achieve a favorable result for our client. I would gladly recommend Ed Martin and Sage Investigations to anyone in need of a fraud expert for a legal matter.”

“I highly recommend Sage Investigations and Ed Martin. Here is why. When our company became the target of an IRS / FBI investigation, Sage Investigations and Ed Martin were there. The professionalism, knowledge and expertise of the Sage staff under these trying times were top notch. Through this challenging process to the closing of our case Ed Martin & Sage staff performance was 110 %. Each move and action was directed towards the end game of closure. The Sage staff that fought on our behalf were all former Sr .Federal Agents who understood the vast complexity of the Federal system and the language they speak. They were able to shine light on the truth and went toe to toe providing us fair, equitable and highly effective representation and closure. Ed Martin and Sage Investigation without a doubt is the premier firm of its type In America. Thank you Ed Martin and the Sage Investigations staff.”

“Ed Martin was my Forensic Accounting Expert in an embezzlement case in Caldwell County. I appreciate the way he thoroughly converted raw data into an easily understandable summary–one that I could understand, but more importantly, a presentation which was understood by the jury. The total package–development and testimony before a jury–was professional from start to finish.”

“I have worked closely with Ed Martin, the principal in Sage Investigations, as both a federal prosecutor and civil trial attorney for almost twenty-five years. The investigations he performs are thorough and complete. His reputation for honesty and integrity is above reproach. He is an intelligent, articulate and experienced witness. I have no hesitation referring him to my fellow attorneys and clients for investigative services.”

“I have known Ed for about 25 years and had the privilege to work closely with him, when I was a federal prosecutor and Ed was a Special Agent with the Internal Revenue Service. During my sixteen-year career as a federal prosecutor, I had the opportunity to work with Special Agents from almost all of the Federal Agencies and throughout many different parts of the country and I can tell you that Ed was one of the best of the very best. His investigations are thorough and complete. His reputation for honesty and integrity is excellent. He is an extremely hard worker and also is a great witness at the time of trial. I would highly recommend him to my fellow attorneys and clients for investigative services.”

Jack O’Donnell, Attorney At Law
Gray & Becker PC


“Martin was in charge of the massive evidence and witness lists — the natural one for the job, as he had an unusual ability to stay focused on the big picture and yet keep scrupulous track of the smallest detail. This could be seen in his interviews alone — he had to remember what a skittish witness was saying without taking notes, establish rapport, steer the interview where it needed to go, remember what to ask, evaluate the answers and check them mentally against other tiny details, decide what to not ask, time questions effectively, be mindful of the person’s rights and what was legal, take cues from what was happening around him, know what might be evidence and pursue it — and then coordinate all the information from documents and informants with the prosecutor, the FBI, the Dallas detectives, his bosses, and the rules of evidence.”

“After a quarter century as an investigative journalist, I’ve worked with the good, the bad and the very ugly. Without equivocation, I can say that I’ve never come across an investigator who can match Ed Martin’s skills. He’s world class and he can do it all. As his Cajun brethren might say – You ain’t gonna find a better houn’ dawg.”
