At Bristlecone Law, Attorney Christian Malone approaches legal challenges with the same resilience, adaptability, and grounded wisdom that define our namesake—the bristlecone pine. We believe legal solutions should be straightforward, grounded in principle, and rooted in a deep understanding of the law. Whether you’re dealing with a real property or real estate issue, a contract or business dispute, or just need the right document drafted—we’re here to help solve legal problems with clarity, strategy, and a down-to-earth approach.
Based in Bend, we primarily serve Deschutes, Crook, & Jefferson Counties, but we can, and often do, assist clients statewide.
Our philosophy is simple: legal support should feel like a conversation, not a confrontation. At Bristlecone Law, you’ll always be met with respect and honesty —right from the first meeting. Clients come to us for guidance, clarity, and solutions. And they stay because they trust us with their legal matters. We put people before process, making sure you’re heard and truly understand your options every step of the way.
We’re proud to be based in Bend and deeply connected to the local community, assisting neighbors, local businesses, and property owners throughout Central Oregon—including Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Madras, La Pine, and beyond. No matter the complexity of your real property, real estate, contract, construction, or civil dispute, our mission remains the same: helping you move forward with confidence, practical solutions, and a law practice that puts people first.
We focus on resolving legal issues that affect your land, your business, and your ability to move forward without conflict. Whether it’s a contract problem, a dispute over property, or a construction issue that’s gone sideways, we’re here to help you sort it out.
From drafting easements to private home sale agreements, we help clients protect and transfer property without unnecessary complexity. We also handle easement and boundary disputes, real estate litigation, title disagreements, and legal issues involving structures or improvements on land.
We represent homeowners and property owners facing faulty construction, contractor problems, or unfinished projects. We also help contractors resolve disputes before they lead to litigation.
Business partnerships with even the best intentions can get messy. We help clients interpret contracts, resolve disagreements, and protect their legal and financial interests.
If a dispute can't be resolved informally, we're ready to represent you through mediation, arbitration, or in court. If it can be settled earlier—we'll work to make that happen.
"I was impressed by how approachable and down-to-earth the attorneys at Bristlecone are. They explained everything in plain English and made me feel like a priority throughout the entire process."
Clients trust that every decision we make and every action we take is guided by honesty, transparency, and an unwavering dedication to doing what is right. At Bristlecone Law, ethical conduct isn’t just a promise—it’s the bedrock of our relationships and our practice.
Our founder’s early clerkship experience with Oregon’s highest appellate court shapes how we approach every case: with thoughtful analysis of law and fact, strategic argument, and respect for the process.
90% of our work is in Deschutes County. We know the land, the systems, and the people.
Over the years, clients and colleagues have said the same thing: “You’re easy to talk to. I trust you. I knew right away you’d point me in the right direction."
