Paul Moore

Paul Moore is a commercial litigator who practices primarily in valuation-related matters, including contract disputes, and state and local tax controversies. He has handled a wide variety of valuation matters, representing clients in business disputes, and property, transaction privilege and use tax disputes before state and local taxing authorities, the Arizona Tax Court, and the Arizona Court of Appeals and Supreme Courts.  He is licensed in Arizona and Colorado.

He represents taxpayers owning state-assessed properties such as pipelines, telecommunications companies, electric generation facilities and airlines, and all types of locally-assessed real and personal property including hotels, shopping malls, department stores, high-rise office buildings and campuses, apartment complexes, theaters, residential subdivisions, commercial greenhouses, land and hospitals.

Paul is rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell, and enjoys an excellent reputation with his peers and the bench. As one judge noted, “Mr. Moore is a very experienced tax attorney. He is always prepared and professional in the courtroom. I recommend him very strongly.”

Paul is originally from Manchester, England. He holds doctorate and undergraduate degrees in chemistry. He came “stateside” to Texas in 1986 for a year of teaching undergraduate chemistry, but while there he met his future wife Janet and the rest, as they say, is history. Paul became a US citizen in 1997. In his life before the law, he worked for 6 years as an environmental/analytical chemist for a Fortune 500 Company.

Paul and Janet have been married for 30 years and are the proud parents of two children. In his spare time, Paul can often be found in the early weekend hours shouting at a television as he follows the exploits of his hometown heroes, Manchester United.
