Great Tax Attorney

I recently worked with Cory on a tax appeal and was very impressed with her work (our appeal was successful!). Cory understood the issues faced by our small business, and worked with us to develop a strategy that was practical and efficient. She took the initiative to obtain public records relating... to the case, which uncovered some very helpful evidence. She thoroughly researched the legal issues and was happy to collaborate with us, incorporating our feedback and ideas. She was always very responsive to our questions and concerns. She is a nice and friendly person, which makes her very easy to work with. I would strongly recommend working with Cory.

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.
