Congratulations to High Desert Law’s Chloe Thompson for being named the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association's 2026 New Lawyer of the Year! Chosen by her peers, this award recognizes her tireless advocacy and deep dedication to the Central Oregon community.
Chloe is a second-generation attorney who handles complex catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. Beyond her legal expertise, she is deeply committed to empowering survivors. She guides her clients with compassion, helping them leave traumatic events in the past and find their path forward.
Her leadership extends far beyond the courtroom. As the OTLA New Lawyer Governor and an active voice on the Legislative, Membership, and New Lawyer committees, Chloe works tirelessly to improve our legal community. Add in her recognition as a three-time SuperLawyers Rising Stars honoree, and it is clear why her peers selected her for this honor.
We are incredibly proud of the preparation, focus, and genuine care she brings to her clients every day. Congratulations, Chloe!
