Matthew J Erdman

Matt Erdman has represented and advised hundreds of local taxpayers in matters with the IRS and Oregon Department of Revenue.  He built a reputation of public service and success directing two non-profit Low Income Taxpayer Clinics before entering private practice.

Matt is a member of the Oregon State Bar Taxation Section’s Executive Committee and the Practice and Procedure Lead of the Laws Committee.  He presents Continuing Legal Education lectures about tax law to other attorneys and is often called by other attorneys for his expertise in this area.  As a supervising attorney and clinic director, he trained many law students and lawyers in tax law and procedure.  He takes pride in breaking down these intimidating topics to deliver understanding, comfort, and the best results.

An avid skier, cyclist, and climber, Matt fell in love with our beautiful outdoors during a summer clerkship after his first year of law school.  When it came time to go home, he decided to transfer here and has never looked back.  He’s active in the community, a volunteer ski patroller, and court-connected mediator.  With a prior career in the wine industry and related interests in dining and cooking, he also has a special appreciation for the amazing local offerings.
