Fantastic Attorney who wins!

I recently worked with Diana Pelham on a complicated tax matter involving penalties and interest. From start to finish, Diana was incredibly detail-oriented and took the time to thoroughly understand my unique circumstances. Throughout the process, she clearly explained each step and made sure I was ...informed and comfortable with our strategy. Diana advocated fiercely on my behalf, negotiating with the tax agency and ultimately securing a significant reduction in both penalties and interest. I truly appreciate her professionalism, dedication, and clear communication. If you need a knowledgeable and compassionate tax attorney who will fight for you, I highly recommend Diana.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
