About
Martin E. Thompson is a seasoned attorney based in Bend, Oregon, specializing in General Practice, Probate, Tax, and Tax Controversy at Cascades Law Group. In March 2017, Martin relocated his family to Bend, embracing the vibrant community of Central Oregon after successfully operating a general practice in Burns, Oregon for over six years. The decision to transition from a thriving practice was significant, yet it was made with his family's best interests in mind. Before establishing his practice in Burns, Martin had the privilege of serving as a summer clerk for Chief Justice Paul J. De Muniz at the Oregon Supreme Court. This invaluable experience paved the way for his subsequent role in Seattle, where he effectively represented low-income clients in tax disputes with the Internal Revenue Service. Martin also gained experience as an associate at Stahancyk, Kent & Hook, further enhancing his legal acumen. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Oregon State University, where he developed a strong foundation for his legal career. Martin earned his Juris Doctor from the University of South Dakota in 2008, graduating among the top of his class. Following his success on the Oregon bar exam, he pursued an advanced law degree in taxation at Washington State University School of Law, focusing on business and estate taxation as well as tax controversy. Today, Martin is proud to contribute to the legal landscape of Central Oregon, offering his expertise in various practice areas to clients throughout the region. His commitment to providing accessible legal services is complemented by his deep understanding of the unique needs of the community.
