Deshun T. Martin, Esq.
Attorney. Founder.
Historic triplet.
“One of the first triplets in American history to graduate law school and pass the bar — together, on the same day. Featured on Oprah.”
Deshun was born in Edwards, Mississippi, one of a historic set of triplets. After losing his father at ten, he channeled that grief into discipline — graduating salutatorian of Raymond High School with a 4.2 GPA, then Jackson State University, then the University of Mississippi School of Law in 2004. That same year, Deshun and his triplet brothers Kenya and Warren Jr. became the first set of triplets in America to graduate law school and pass the bar together.
He spent the next decade as Special Assistant Attorney General under Jim Hood — Special Prosecutor, Director of the Child Desertion Unit, Lobbyist — before founding Martin & Martin, PA in 2014 at 228 East Capitol Street. A Deacon at Farish Street Baptist Church, Deshun's faith is central to both his life and his practice.
