Matt Malmsheimer joined the firm in 2005 after serving as a judicial law clerk to the Hon. Jack L. Landau on the Oregon Court of Appeals. In his years at the firm, Matt has honed his legal advocacy skills to a laser focus and he prides himself on developing concise, focused legal arguments that advance his client's interests and cut to the heart of his opponents’ position.
Matt represents individuals, small businesses and small governmental and public entities to successfully navigate and resolve their legal challenges. Matt splits his advocacy between both plaintiff and defense cases, which allows him to better advance his client’s position by better understanding the strength and weaknesses of the other side’s case. Matt has successfully represented the firm's clients before both the trial and appellate courts, and he has helped to develop the law in a number of important areas. He is tenacious when representing his clients and always seeks the most efficient and effective means to advance their interests.
When not at work, Matt enjoys taking advantage of Oregon’s natural wonders with his wife and son, whether that is fly-fishing on the Deschutes or John Day, hunting in the Cascades or camping and hiking at the coast or in the mountains.
