About Cory Martin
Cory Martin Curtis built his legal foundation across three institutions and two disciplines. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Russian and Business from Brigham Young University in 2003. He then completed a J.D. at New England Law | Boston in 2005 and followed that with an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Denver in 2008. The sequence underlines an early interest in both transactional business questions and the technical contours of tax law.
After law school, Curtis spent a year clerking at the Law Office of Robert W. Joyce, P.C., in 2007. That experience gave him a close-up view of litigation practice and client intake in a small firm setting. It was a stop that bridged academic study and courtroom procedure, and it exposed him to the practical demands of serving individual and business clients.
Curtis’s academic focus on taxation influenced his subsequent work. The LL.M. sharpened his grasp of federal tax rules and how they intersect with business planning. He also maintains a background in business from his undergraduate studies, which informs transactional thinking and problem solving. Over time he has handled matters that require an understanding of tax consequences alongside broader legal strategy.
On the professional side, Curtis has been a member of the American Bar Association since 2008. He also joined the Arapahoe Bar Association and the Denver Bar Association that same year. Those memberships reflect an ongoing connection to both national and local bar communities. He is admitted to practice in Colorado and is admitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, which allows him to handle appeals that arise in federal courts across the region.
Colleagues describe Curtis as methodical in legal analysis and pragmatic in advising clients. His combination of tax study and business education shapes the issues he tackles. As of 2026 he practices in Colorado and before the Tenth Circuit, concentrating on tax matters and federal appellate work.
