Marta Dybowski
Experience Estate Planning Attorney
While in college at the University of Delaware, Marta was drawn towards issues of social justice in society after working as a research assistant in a social psychology laboratory that focused on understanding intergroup bias and racism. She knew studying law would be the next logical step. Following graduation, Marta interned at the Delaware Department of Justice in the Family Unit, where she gained valuable experience in the criminal justice system and advocating for victims' rights. While in law school, Marta worked for Murray Richman, Esquire, a well-known criminal defense attorney in New York City. This position gave Marta experience in the New York State courts and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Following law school, Marta worked for the Delaware State Courts, educating defendants about the criminal justice system. She values face-to-face interaction and helping individuals solve problems. While she was earning her Legum Magister at Delaware Law School, she worked for JP Morgan Chase & Co., conducting legal research and reviewing clients' legal documents.
Marta is a member of the American Bar Association, the Delaware State Bar Association, the Alternative Dispute Resolution and Trust and Estates Sections of the Delaware State Bar Association.
Marta grew up in Newark, Delaware. She is a Newark High School alumna and a proud Blue Hen. She is a founding member of the Theta Delta chapter of Alpha Delta Pi where she served as the Music Chair. She volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware and she is the immediate past Family Engagement Chair of the Red Shoe Society.
She enjoys the Delaware beaches, Walt Disney World, and playing trivia with friends.

- - Current
- The Marta firm is the brainchild of Marta M. Dybowski, Esquire, LL.M.. After working for several years in the finance industry and in private practice, the phrase, “Go ask Marta” became common around her office. When Marta decided to start her own firm, it was obvious that the firm needed to be named after the commonly used phrase. Choosing to exclusively practice in a field means that you are completely devoted to it; that you will protect it as if it were your own. That is the energy that sets the Marta firm apart.
