The firms around him have merged, failed and moved, but celebrity trial lawyer William “Billy” Martin hasn’t changed his practice. After working at seven firms in 15 years, Martin said he won’t be jarred when he dissolves the boutique shop he founded in 2013. He and two other lawyers from his practice will join Miles & Stockbridge’s Washington office, the firm announced this week.

“Substantial clients call me not because I’m with Firm A or Firm B. I don’t have a different way of practicing in a small firm or a big firm,” Martin said. Indeed, he’s become a well-known name in town with a string of ­clients who’ve become tabloid fodder and top of the nightly news — from the parents of Chandra Levy, to the mother of Monica Lewinsky, to Michael Vick, former Sen. Larry Craig and multiple members of the Washington Redskins last year.
