EXCEPTIONAL TAX ATTORNEY

I was very fortunate to have selected Joseph Pearson as my attorney to resolve my tax issues. I found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable and effective. Most notable was his prompt and thorough attention to detail, minimizing any chance for later difficulty. I had complete confidence in his work on... my case, and would recommend him without reservation.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Joseph Pearman on a tax matter. He was very good at educating us on tax law and helping our leadership team and board members to understand what steps we needed to take to successfully resolve the issue. Joe is very candid and direct. We all appreciated wor...king with him and ultimately coming to a successful resolution.

HIRE JOE

I had some complex federal and state tax issues with several different businesses and needed help working through them. I searched several different firms, met with Joe Pearman and decided to hire him. I worked with Joe over a three-year period getting everything resolved satisfactorily. Joe was real...istic, presented several different options and did not paint an unrealistic picture of the potential road forward. The assistance he gave me was very valuable and I do not hesitate to recommend him to other potential clients.

VERY PLEASED

I hired Joseph Pearman to represent me with a tax matter in 2019. Joe was exceptional at explaining the facts of the tax laws and laying out my options in a concise and honest manner. I could not be happier with his representation!

GREAT ATTORNEY

I had some substantial tax issues inside my business and didn’t have any resources or existing relationships to help me resolve the problems. I took a chance, did the almighty search engine gamble, spoke to several large and small firms, made the right decision, and chose Joe Pearman. From the very f...irst meeting, Joe put me at ease. He laid out a very realistic road map with several options on how to go forward. Many other firms painted a too good to be true picture. He set realistic expectations of the process and all of the potential ups and downs that could possibly come my way. Joe’s approach, personal touch, and expertise in these matters helped manage my stress. This allowed me to focus on the business. Joe was very professional and efficient with his time. Everything turned out better than expected. I assume that most people don’t talk about their personal and company tax issues out of fear or embarrassment. I know I didn’t. I don’t how I could ever repay Joe for the work he did for both me and my business and the relationship we have built. I could not be more grateful that I choose Joe and would recommend anyone who not only wants to get their problems resolved, but to be given realistic expectations about the situation, to hire Joe NOW. I consider hiring Joe one of the best decisions I have ever made.

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.
