Robert P. Martin was an Attorney with the firm of Bailey and Wyant PLLC of Charleston, West Virginia.  As of the fall of 2012 Robert P. Martin according to Bailey and Wyant PLLC has semi retired. All evidence of Robert P. Martin having ever worked for the firm has been removed from the firms web site, blogs in its entirety. ??Prior to Mr. James Jensen and Mrs. Janis Jensens move to Honduras they gave Mr. Robert P. Martin Power of Attorney in the event either or both parties required the use and or intervention of a third party to protect the parties listed on the Power of Attorney.

An updated version of this Power of Attorney with changes was executed after Janis died. ??Mrs. Janis Gail Jensen died on May 30, 2008 in Belize City, Belize at Belize Health Partners Hospital.   The medical examiner report indicated Mrs. Jensen died of Septic Shock brought on by an inter cranial procedure required to relieve bleeding on Mrs. Jensens brain caused by A. VMA.??Mr. & Mrs. Jensen had purchased additional health care coverage in Belize through RF&G Insurance owned by the Roe Group of Belize. RF&G Insurance acts as the agent for sales of said policies for a company out of Miami Florida called Bupa Health Care. ??

Mrs. Jensen was treated for three weeks before her death. Bupa was notified through RF&G Insurance of the emergency nature of Mrs. Jensens condition. Bupa notified RF&G that all medical coverage was denied claiming a 90-day waiting period had not been met and that Mrs. Jensen had failed to accurately disclose any previous medical conditions.

This included all prior examinations, tests and doctors visits to Belize Health Partners prior to Mrs. Jensens death.??In October of 2008 Mr. Jensen and the Estate of Mrs. Janis Gail Jensen received notice from Belize Health Partners and their attorney, Godfrey Smith, that a case had been filed in the Belize Supreme court to collect any all medical bills incurred by Mrs. Jensen through Belize Health Partners. ??Robert P. Martin engaged his firm and an attorney from Miami by the name of Bill Thompson to file a civil action against Bupa in Miami on behalf of Mr. James Jensen and the estate of Mrs. Janis Jensen.

Over the course of the next several months, as documents indicate, Robert. P. Martin and the firm of Bailey & Wyant PLLC maintained correspondence with Bupa, RF&G Insurance, Godfrey Smith (representative of Belize Health Partners), attorneys representing the ROE Group of Companies and others. Mr. Martin flew to Belize on a number of occasions to work on the case with attorneys retained by James Jensen in Belize. ??In February of 2008 the case before the Belize Supreme Court entered a stage of determination of responsibility.

Based on a detailed three-page letter sent by email by Robert P. Martin, on the letterhead of the firm Bailey and Wyant, the Supreme Court of Belize determined that this case would wait the results of the Civil Action filed by Bill Thompson against Bupa in Miami, Florida.  

Mr. Thompson was now representing the Jensens interests in Miami Florida against Bupa. ??The Belize Supreme Court accepted the letter that Robert P. Martin sent them as fact and ruled for the Jensens estate would wait the results of the Civil action that had been filed by Bill Thompson the attorney retained by Bailey & Wyant PLLC.??The Supreme Court of Belize requested documents to support that a civil action had been filed in Miami by Bill Thompson. 

Robert P. Martin was requested to produce this document.   Robert P. Martin failed to produce these documents and upon further research by James Jensens attorney in Belize it was found that attorney Bill Thompson did not exist and that no Civil case was ever filed on behalf Mr. James Jensen or the estate of Mrs. Janis Jensens estate in the State of Florida.

Because of this, Mr. Jensen was found liable for $260,000 BZ and said judgment was placed upon his name in the Country of Belize.

Mr. Jensen with the aid of his Belize attorney found an attorney in Miami whom agreed to take the case. The legal opinion of this firm was that the case to present the courts against Bupa Health Care was a wrongful death.

Months of preparation concluded with a final draft of the complaint sent to James Jensen by the firm in Miami. Within days of filing the completed claim the Florida attorney dropped the case due to influence and slanderous accounts about Mr. Jensens credibility by Robert P. Martin and the Firm of Bailey & Wyant PLLC.
