About
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.

Words cant explain how greatful I am to have been Given the chance to meet Martin Thompson, let alone to of had him as a defense attorney in such a vital time in my life. I was looking at very along time for a criminal case and was loosing hope quickly. when Martin was appointed to me. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer or a bigger blessing. He made me feel comfortable, kept me in good spirits wit his talks and sense of humor, made feel safe and NEVER said anything tht he didn't stay true to. He worked so hard and took such pride in his work it was honestly crazy, to the point where acouple times it brought me to tears. He heard me out, and never questioned me or judged me and honestly that was such a change to the usual. I'm not the most innocent looking guy and I have a past. but he never judge me. I love martin and I'll forever be in debt to this great man...believe me I have experience with attorneys and he is not your average by any means. if you don't have him your honestly missing out. He's a great lawyer and a great person and he will do anything in his power to help you anyway he can. I definitely recommend him to anybody you won't be disappointed.
I hired Martin to help me with my custody case. It was a very ugly, complicated case. I was starting to feel like all hope was lost but when Martin came on board, everything started moving in the right direction. I won sole custody of my son. I will forever be grateful for Martin and would recommend him to any family or friends.
Martin took to heart an issue that arose for my mother. I was in desperate need for someone to handle my mothers case and to treat her as family, considering that I was not in the area enough to handle it. This issue took a few months and without missing a beat, he treated her with respect. He was also available to me if I had any questions pertaining the case at hand. This has taken me a while to give him the much needed review that he deserves considering that this happened around Christmas of 2018. Mostly because after we had won the case, most of my time has been spent trying to repair the damaged that had occurred.
Martin works dillagently and professionally. I came to Martin at an all time low and he was able to navigate the legal channels I needed help with to get me on the right track. I would hire Martin again no questions asked.
Martin is an extremely hard-working, down to earth attorney. He's approachable, honest, and answered all of my questions concerning a messy child custody case. he went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared for what I was about to face and put me at ease with his obvious competence. I walked away with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and knowing I had him on my side. I highly recommend Mr. Thompson knowing he goes the extra mile for his clients.
I was going through a very ugly and complex divorce. When I first contacted Martin I was a mess and was out of options and time. During our consult he contacted my ex-wifes lawyer and gave me more time and walked me through the proccess and put me on the path to get my case in order. His attention to detail and listening to every word I said along with his expertise he composed a response to a motion that was absolutly on point and extremely detailed. By the time I left I had a great sense of relief and for the first time in months I was able to relax and refocus. He made me feel as if I was his only client and I was his main priority. I know he had a heavy work load but still made me feel like I was important and not just another case. His prices were fair but theres no amount of money I wouldent have payed for his services. Is there really a price to high to be with your children again. Hes a great attourney and even greater person. He will be someone I will always remember and be forever grateful to. I would use his services anytime I need a lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney that will actually fight for you and work tirelessly on your case to make sure you come out on top.
When I initially hired Martin Thompson I was going through a very difficult time in my life; he was very understanding and talked to me for free on for several hours as I explained the circumstances of my situation. I quickly hired him afterwards and he got to work immediately on my case. He was extremely affordable and worked vigorously on the case for over a year - I was out the entire time- he helped me push the dates back and accommodate to my lifestyle and the other things I was going through. At the time of the sentencing, the DA originally was asking the court to impose a 24 month sentence on me, Martin Thompson was able to get the Judge to give me a 15 day sentence in jail and some probation. He did a great job and was friendly the entire time. I highly recommend him for anyone going through any type of legal troubles. He's experienced and versatile in the all aspects of law.
He's not the kind of lawyer who acts high and mighty and better than you. He did an excellent job with our family law case and got my husband and I exactly what we wanted. It was a very stressful situation but he made it easier and he is very affordable and works with you.
I am an out of stater and was very uneasy with hiring a local guy in a small town, however, Mr. Thompson did a great job with my case and has gone above and beyond what I have actually paid for. He has even added services at no charge to help me out with my financial issues. I highly recommend him to anyone, especially out of state drivers passing through the area
Upon getting incarcerated, I was left with little hope of freedom... Martin helped me immensely when it seemed no one else could! He stuck with me and did everything in his power to help my case. In the end it worked out even better than I had hoped for and I can't thank him enough. He is a very dependable guy, and a pleasure to work with...
