Moriarty Underhill Law

Moriarty Underhill Law has established itself as a premier property tax law firm serving Greenwood Village and the Denver metro area for over a decade. Our attorneys specialize exclusively in property tax matters, bringing deep expertise in Colorado assessment law, administrative procedures, and appellate practice to every case we handle. We understand that property taxes impact both individual wealth and business profitability. That's why we've developed a strategic approach that goes beyond simple appeals to include comprehensive tax planning and assessment monitoring. Our clients appreciate our direct communication style and practical advice that helps them make informed decisions about their most valuable assets.

Our legal practice focuses exclusively on property tax matters, allowing us to provide specialized expertise that general practice attorneys can't match. We handle all aspects of property tax disputes from administrative appeals to district court litigation. Our services include comprehensive assessment reviews, formal appeals before county assessors and boards of assessment appeals, and representation in court proceedings when necessary. We also provide specialized services for complex properties including multi-use developments, contaminated properties, and those affected by eminent domain proceedings. For business clients, we offer strategic tax planning services including entity structuring advice, 1031 exchange considerations, and timing strategies for property improvements. We assist with exemption applications for charitable, educational, and agricultural properties, and provide ongoing compliance monitoring. Additionally, we represent clients in valuation disputes arising from divorce proceedings, estate planning, and business transactions where property tax implications are significant.

Our legal approach begins with a comprehensive case evaluation that considers not just valuation issues but potential legal challenges to assessment methodology or procedural errors. We conduct thorough legal research and case law analysis to identify all available arguments and strategies. Our preparation includes detailed discovery when permitted, expert witness coordination, and preparation of legal briefs that address both factual and legal issues. We represent clients at all administrative hearings and are prepared to pursue district court appeals when warranted by case facts and client goals. Throughout the process, we maintain attorney-client privilege and provide strategic advice about settlement opportunities, cost-benefit analysis, and long-term implications of various courses of action.

We serve clients throughout the Denver metro area with particular focus on Arapahoe, Douglas, and Jefferson counties. Our practice extends statewide for complex matters and appellate cases. We're admitted to practice in all Colorado district courts and maintain relationships with local assessors, board members, and judges throughout our service area.
