About Robert
Robert Petrowsky earned a J.D. from the University of Denver and later pursued advanced study in tax law, completing an LL.M. in Taxation at Georgetown University. His academic record reflects an early interest in the intersection of tax policy and litigation. He kept his studies focused on the technical side of tax law while building practical skills in legal research and writing.
After law school and graduate work, Petrowsky entered private practice. He joined Polaris Law Group, where he has handled matters that touch both state and federal systems. He is admitted to practice in Colorado and to the Tenth Circuit. Those admissions match the kinds of cases he has taken on at the firm: contested tax issues, appeals, and matters that require navigating federal procedural rules.
Petrowsky’s work blends tax law and appellate procedure. He prepares briefs and motions for tax disputes, and he has represented clients in hearings that require close attention to statutory detail and administrative records. He also handles appeals in federal court, where written advocacy and record review are central. Colleagues describe him as methodical in legal analysis and careful in drafting. He focuses on clear legal argument rather than on rhetorical flourish.
Clients and other attorneys see him as someone who prioritizes precision. He reads complex tax statutes and regulations closely. He also pays attention to appellate standards of review and preservation of issues. These habits carry through to his courtroom work and to filings in administrative proceedings. He approaches cases by building the factual record and then testing legal theories against that record.
Outside of brief writing and court appearances, Petrowsky spends time on the procedural side of litigation. He manages discovery and organizes administrative records in tax controversies. He advises clients on how to present positions to taxing authorities and on steps that preserve appellate options. His background in tax law informs those practical recommendations.
He practices at Polaris Law Group, where his work continues to concentrate on tax disputes and federal appellate matters. He is admitted in Colorado and to the Tenth Circuit and maintains an active trial and appellate docket at his firm.
