About Tyler
Tyler Murray took a deliberate path into tax law. He earned a B.A. in political science from Michigan State University in 2001, completed his J.D. at Florida Coastal School of Law in 2007, and returned to study tax in depth with an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Denver in 2009. Those credentials framed an early career that moved quickly from clerking to private practice.
His first law-sector role after graduate study was a law clerkship at Kroll Law Offices in 2010. The following year he worked as a tax preparer at Tax Shop and also served as counsel at several firms. In 2011 he was listed as Of Counsel at Van Der Jagt Law and wore the title of Lawyer and President at The Law Offices of Murray & Wright, P.C. A series of associate positions followed in 2014, including roles at Goldman Gantenbein, LLC and Gantenbein Law Office LLC as a senior associate. In 2019 he became a partner at Murray and McCarthy Law, where he continues to practice.
Murray’s education and early work in tax preparation and clerkship helped define his practice interests. He is admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court and in Colorado. Those credentials align with a steady engagement in tax policy and transactional questions that cross into real estate matters. Colleagues describe his background as centered on the technical aspects of tax law and the practical demands of advising clients during audits and disputes.
Professional associations have been a consistent part of his career. He has been a member of the Colorado Bar Association Tax Section Executive Council since 2011 and served as treasurer of the Colorado Bar Association Section on Taxation from 2013 to 2014. Since 2017 he has participated in the Colorado Bar Association Real Estate Law Section as Tax Section Liaison to the Real Estate Executive Council, and he has been on the Budget Committee since 2017. Those roles reflect ongoing involvement in bar governance and section-level work.
At Murray and McCarthy Law he carries the partner title and handles matters that reflect his tax training and litigation experience. He has balanced private-practice responsibilities with bar service, moving from associate and counsel roles into firm leadership. His practice encompasses transactional work and representation in tax proceedings.
He maintains an active practice in Colorado, representing clients in tax and real estate matters and before federal tax forums such as the U.S. Tax Court.
