Biography
Matthew M. Montoya practices federal tax law and is licensed in New Mexico, the Federal District Court of Colorado, and the United States Tax Court. He is authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states. Matthew is also a proud member of the American Bar Association, Section of Taxation and the Federal Bar Association, Section of Taxation.
Matthew graduated from the University of New Mexico School of Law, where he focused his study on procedural law, tax, and litigation. Through law school clinics, he worked with the District Attorney's Office in New Mexico. During his time there, he gained significant litigation experience while prosecuting DWI and Domestic Violence crimes.
He started his legal career clerking for the New Mexico Attorney General's Office, where he worked with the Civil Division to ensure government compliance with the state inspection of public records laws and drafted the legal framework for Attorney General Opinions.
From there, Matthew worked with a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, helping individuals in need by representing them before the IRS.
After moving to Colorado, he has worked to resolve a wide range of cases from relatively straightforward audits of small businesses, to Tax Court litigation involving the sale of rental property and medical expenses, to complex collection actions for taxpayers living abroad.

Mr Montoya helped me to resolve my 2015 tax return and refund issues. He was very professional; he explained the process in a way that I could understand.
Matthew M Montoya's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mr. Montoya is one of the best tax attorneys in the region. From the beginning, he managed to finish at the top of his class while working at the university's tax clinic full-time. Upon graduation, the I.R.S. Office of Chief Counsel's Office in Denver originally wanted to hire him as a tax litigator, but Robinson & Henry, PC was fortunate enough to offer him an associate tax attorney position. While at Robinson & Henry, Mr. Montoya quickly mastered the basic fundamentals of tax practice within a month, and began working on the most complicated cases. At that time, Mr. Montoya negotiated with the I.R.S. Chief Counsel's office on one of the largest cases on the 2016 Denver Tax Court Trial Docket. As Mr. Montoya's supervisor, I have personally seen him negotiate with difficult revenue officers, examiners, IRS Appeals Officers, and Chief Counsel Attorneys to get fantastic results."
"I worked with Mr. Montoya on various tax related matters. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and obtains results. His clients enjoy working with him, as he effectively communicates with his clients, and ensures they receive a fair result. Overall, Mr. Montoya is a fair and honest advocate for his clients."
"It's a pleasure to work with Matthew. Matthew is an ambitious, customer focused, innovative and dedicated perfectionist. Hardworking and proactive. No matter how complex the problem is, he will always come up with a brilliant, elegant, and cost-effective solution. Matthew definitely shines in a fast-paced environment."
