Myatt & Bell, P.C. exists because of our belief in families. We believe in building up, strengthening, preserving and protecting families through the generations.
The incapacity of a loved one; the lack of an estate or business succession plan; the passing of a family member; a family fight over inheritance: These circumstances commonly disrupt and even destroy families, businesses, and relationships. It does not have to be that way. We are passionate about helping families navigate these challenges in ways that serve the family.
In 1960, Lewis E. Myatt started his legal practice in Beaverton, Oregon with the foresight that the farms and forest lands of Beaverton, Hillsboro, and beyond would one day be full of growth and industry. Robert P. Bell joined Mr. Myatt in 1972 as Mr. Myatt’s practice was at its largest capacity, and the largest firm in Washington County. In 1975, Mr. Myatt’s practice spun off with Mr. Bell to ensure that “the interest of the client comes first”.
By 1986, the practice was known as Myatt & Bell, P.C. The firm’s estate planning emphasis of wills and trusts thrived in the Silicon Forest. As decades passed, Myatt & Bell, P.C. surfaced as a boutique business and estate succession firm, specifically servicing estate taxable families. Reflecting upon, and learning from, the rapid growth of the firm in the mid 1970s, the seeds were planted to inspire an internal culture at Myatt & Bell, P.C. to grow into a client-first, caring, team, and family atmosphere.
In March 2006, Lewis E. Myatt retired from the practice of law after 46 years of devoted service. Also in 2006, Justin R. Martin was admitted to practice law in the state of Oregon. Mr. Martin joined Myatt & Bell, P.C. in 2007, transitioning estates and businesses with Mr. Bell. Myatt & Bell, P.C. is the only firm in which Mr. Bell was ever employed. His loyalty and dedication to the client is admirable and instilled deeply in the firm’s legacy. In June 2012, passing the managing shareholder baton to Mr. Martin, Robert P. Bell retired from the practice of law after over 40 years of devoted service.
Today, the firm proudly serves many multi-generational clients, businesses and estates. Myatt & Bell, P.C. is a team of diverse individuals, joining together to serve our clients with a high degree of excellence and customer service, each uniquely contributing to the BEST firm culture. Because of this, we strive to make your experience different—in the best way possible!

Legal issues centered on family relationships often cause stress, even conflict. Whether it is making decisions related to child custody or property division in a divorce, determining a fair spousal support payment, or setting up an emergency guardianship to protect a child or vulnerable adult, few other areas of the law impact our emotional well-being so intensely.
Mastanduno Law Group was founded by Steven Mastanduno and Nathan Jones, who are both graduates of the Willamette University College of Law. While in law school, they decided to create a firm that would emphasize a laid-back, relaxed approach to client service. Our attorneys and their staff aim to provide one-on-one service that can lower your stress level and leave you feeling comfortable with the strategies we suggest to resolve your family law matter.
Our firm concentrates heavily on Oregon family law. This allows us to draw on a deep base of knowledge about divorce, guardianships and other related topics. This is a level of legal understanding that you will not find in a firm that only dabbles in family law.

Some of the family law topics our lawyers handle regularly include:
- Divorce, including uncontested divorces

The size of our firm allows us to listen attentively to your situation and ask the right questions for understanding your goals. Our backgrounds in collaborative law and alternative dispute resolution help us take that information and craft a unique solution for your legal conflict.

We are active in many industry associations, such as, Oregon Mortgage Lenders Association, Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland, Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association, Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, Public Risk Management Association, Oregon Society of CPA’s, and Commercial Real Estate Women. In addition, some of our lawyers chose law school following a distinguished career in another field.

We use a time-tested process when addressing your matter with federal and/or state tax authorities so you can rest easy.
We analyze each unique situation at the outset and develop strategic responses and solutions so as to resolve your case at the earliest possible point while securing the best possible result.
I have unfiled returns and/or a large deficiency with the IRS or the Oregon Department of Revenue. To mitigate the risk of criminal fraud and/or evasion, we assist with the preparation of unfiled returns and subsequent negotiation with the IRS/Oregon Department of Revenue to attempt settlement of the balance owed.
When individuals and businesses are faced with an IRS or state tax audit they feel a level of anxiety or overwhelmed with the process. Even a small oversight in an audit can cost you dearly in the form of lost appeal rights, lost rights to a refund, higher taxes and penalties, and potential levy. We are not just your advocate and confidante, but your advisor to see you through the complex administrative and legal process of tax controversy defense.
Any person responsible for withholding, depositing, or remitting payroll taxes to the IRS or state can be held personally liable for failure to remit. If you are contacted and asked to be interviewed for potential responsibility, you should never attend such an interview without representation. In such an interview, the taxing authority may be seeking additional evidence to assert civil or criminal fraud.
We review all documents concerning your tax controversy matter to ascertain the relevant facts in the issue and the application of tax law to them. At our initial consultation, we are upfront as to the strength of your particular positions, and whether engaging our services will be cost-efficient. Unlike other law firms, we do not follow a template; each client receives individualized attention to develop a successful path to resolution.
Our office serves as an intermediary between you and the IRS/state taxing authority. There are few events in one's life that can produce as much stress as an inquiry from the IRS or state tax authorities.
Fortunately, we take the lead in dealing with the authorities on your behalf, letting you focus on your work.
Beyond the resolution of your tax issue, we routinely provide clients with creative, solid, and well-reasoned solutions to their business and personal issues that span the spectrum of tax law.
Our goal is to best position your business for a less onerous tax bill come filing time.
