Martha Dowd graduated from Niceville High School and attended college at Okaloosa-Walton Community College. She is a trained paralegal, having learned the law from the infamous Walter Steigleman, Esquire, a legal genius who formerly practiced in Northwest Florida. Her first management position came with Mr. Steigleman as a manager of the legal arm of the State of Florida Department of Revenue's Child Support Enforcement Program. She managed approximately 10 attorneys and over 40 total staff members and was able to dial in her skills in coordinating and timing the performance of employees in accomplishing client goals. She discontinued this work in 2018 and began working as a manager for Dowd Title Group and Dowd Law Firm 's Real Estate Closing Department. Under her management, these companies closed over $750 million in real estate loans.
