Shallon Martin

Shallon Martin is a partner at Weatherford Thompson in Albany, Oregon, whose practice focuses on family law. She handles divorce, paternity, custody, spousal support, child support, and highly contested matters involving custody evaluations. Her approach is tailored to each client’s circumstances and goals. She works to keep clients informed while evaluating practical options, negotiation strategies, financial issues, and court procedures that can shape the outcome of a family law case.

Martin earned a B.S. from Southern Oregon University and a J.D. from Willamette University College of Law. Before becoming an attorney, she spent more than 17 years working in business and human resources management. That professional background included preparing financial reports, performing business audits, and analyzing accounting records. Her combined legal and business training supports detailed review of financial information that can be important in divorce, support, property, and other family law matters.

Martin uses her management and financial background to assess client finances and identify irregularities or discrepancies in information presented during family law disputes. The firm describes her as a skilled negotiator who helps clients examine their options and decide how to proceed. She prepares matters with litigation in mind while still pursuing workable negotiated outcomes when appropriate, allowing clients to consider settlement possibilities without losing sight of the requirements of a contested court case.

Shallon Martin is admitted to practice in Oregon courts and participates in several professional organizations, including Oregon and local bar groups and family law associations. Her practice combines legal advocacy, financial review, negotiation, and client communication. By explaining options and tailoring strategy to each matter, she helps clients move through emotionally and financially significant family disputes with a clear understanding of the process and the legal issues affecting their decisions.
