Mat Sorensen

Mat Sorensen is a Phoenix-based attorney with deep expertise in business law and tax law. He's built a reputation for helping property owners, business entities, and real estate investors challenge unfair assessments and reduce their tax burden. With years of experience navigating Arizona's complex assessment system, Mat brings both legal rigor and practical know-how to every case he takes on. His firm works with commercial and residential clients across the Phoenix metro area. Whether you're dealing with an inflated county appraisal or need help structuring a formal appeal, Mat's team handles the full process from initial review through resolution. Clients consistently praise his direct communication style and his ability to explain technical tax issues in plain terms. He's not just filing paperwork. He's building a case.

Mat Sorensen's practice covers a wide range of property tax and business law services. On the property tax side, the firm handles everything from initial assessment reviews to formal appeals before the Arizona Board of Equalization. If your property's assessed value doesn't reflect its actual market value, Mat's team will dig into the data, pull comparable sales, and build a factual record to support your case. For business clients, the firm also assists with structuring entities to minimize tax exposure, reviewing commercial property holdings, and advising on 1031 exchanges and other tax-deferred strategies. Many clients come in thinking they just need help with one issue and end up getting a fuller picture of where they're overpaying across their portfolio. The firm is especially strong in commercial property appeals, where the numbers can be significant enough to justify a thorough legal challenge. Mat works on a contingency basis for many appeal cases, which means you don't pay unless the assessment comes down. That structure keeps the firm's incentives aligned with yours, and it's one of the reasons clients keep coming back.

Working with Mat Sorensen starts with a free initial consultation where he reviews your current assessed value, recent sales data for comparable properties, and any prior appeal history. If there's a viable case, his team prepares a formal appeal package that includes a market analysis, supporting documentation, and legal arguments tailored to Arizona's assessment standards. Once the appeal is filed, Mat handles all communications with the county assessor's office. If an informal resolution isn't reached, he takes the case to the State Board of Equalization or, when necessary, to tax court. Most appeals resolve before reaching that stage, but his willingness to go the distance is often what gets the county to negotiate seriously. After the appeal concludes, the firm provides a written summary of the outcome and advises on when it makes sense to appeal again in future assessment cycles. The whole process is designed to be transparent and low-effort on the client's part.

Mat Sorensen serves property owners throughout Maricopa County and the broader Phoenix metropolitan area. His primary service area includes Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. The firm also works with clients in other Arizona counties, particularly for larger commercial properties where the potential tax savings justify the additional research. Out-of-state investors who own Arizona property can work with the firm remotely for most stages of the appeal process.
