Biography
Tyler Martinez is a Senior Attorney at the Taxpayer Defense Center, the strategic litigation arm of National Taxpayers Union Foundation. He has experience setting up nonprofit public interest arms for multiple organizations in the Washington, DC area and thus has experience in First Amendment, Tax, and Administrative Law. He has practiced strategic litigation against government overreach since 2011, handling federal and state cases across the country.
Tyler’s interest in strategic public interest work and in tax law comes down to the simple principle: getting the government out of people’s business. Transparency is for the government, but privacy is for the people. He finds and focuses on examples of government overreach particularly those involving use of private information, dragnet data collection, and other attacks on privacy of association.
Tyler earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Colorado Law School, while winning accolades for his advocacy skills and serving as Executive Editor of the Journal on Telecommunications and High Technology Law. He is licensed to practice law in Colorado and the District of Columbia. He is further admitted to the bars of the following federal courts: Supreme Court of the United States, D.C. Circuit, First Circuit, Second Circuit, Third Circuit, Fourth Circuit, Fifth Circuit, Eighth Circuit, Tenth Circuit, and various federal district courts across the country.
