also known as Cascades Law Group, P.C.
In March of 2017, I moved with my family to Bend, Oregon to practice law. Previously I owned and operated a small town general practice in Burns, Oregon for over six years. Making the decision to abandon a successfull business was a difficult one, but it was for the benefit of my family and we are thrilled to be a part of Central Oregon.
Prior to opening the Burns office, I had the honor of serving as a summer clerk to Chief Justice Paul J. De Muniz at the Oregon Supreme Court. Following my clerkship, I worked for approximately one year in Seattle, where I successfully represented low-income clients in tax matters against the Internal Revenue Service and then worked for a short time as an associate for Stahancyk, Kent & Hook.
I attended college at Oregon State University (Go Beavs!), where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. I earned my law degree from the University of South Dakota in 2008, where I graduated among the top of my class. After passing the Oregon bar exam, I attended Washington State University School of Law, earning an advanced law degree in taxation, focusing primarily in the areas of business and estate taxation and tax controversy.
I am pleased to serve the communities of Central Oregon and I look forward to the many benefits and advantages that this great place has to offer for my family.

Avoid at all costs
Martin Thompson "forgot" to respond to the other side in time, and my case went into default judgment. After promising me daily updates on the case after the default, he ignored and avoided my calls. Took his sweet time doing NOTHING to solve the problem while I am having daily panic attacks. My othe...
