About Fabian Law, PLLC

Fabian Law, PLLC has built a focused practice in Phoenix around two closely related areas: tax law and estate planning. Their 5.0 rating is a strong signal that clients consistently leave satisfied, which usually comes from attorneys who are clear about scope, honest about outcomes, and responsive when questions come up. The firm works with homeowners, investors, and business property owners across Maricopa County who believe their assessments don't reflect actual market value and want an attorney to build a proper challenge, not just file paperwork. The overlap between tax law and estate planning is more significant than it might seem for property owners. Inherited properties, trust-held real estate, and ownership transfers all carry property tax implications that are easy to miss without coordinated legal advice. Fabian Law's dual focus means clients dealing with estate-connected real estate can get both pieces handled together, which saves time and reduces the risk of gaps in planning. For clients with simpler situations, the firm is equally capable of handling a straightforward residential appeal.

How They Can Help

Fabian Law, PLLC handles property tax appeals from initial assessment review through final resolution, whether that's an informal settlement with the assessor's office, a Board of Equalization ruling, or further action in Arizona Tax Court. For residential clients, the firm reviews Maricopa County assessment notices and compares the county's valuation against recent sales of comparable properties. Arizona's residential assessments are based on full cash value, and errors in square footage, property condition, or comparable selection are common enough that a review is frequently worthwhile. The attorney handles the full process from petition filing through hearing representation. Commercial clients present more varied situations. Income-producing properties require financial analysis, cap rate comparisons, and often expert testimony at formal hearings. Owner-occupied commercial properties typically involve cost-approach disputes where replacement value estimates are the central issue. The firm has experience across property types including office, retail, industrial, and multifamily. For estate planning clients who also own real estate, Fabian Law advises on the property tax consequences of various ownership structures, including how family trusts, LLCs, and ownership transfers interact with Arizona's assessment practices. That integrated advice is genuinely valuable for clients managing properties that are connected to estate or succession planning.

What to Expect

Fabian Law starts every property tax engagement with a consultation to review your assessment notice and understand your property's characteristics. For estate-connected properties, that conversation also touches on ownership structure and how it affects your appeal options. Once the firm determines a viable challenge exists, they gather the necessary evidence, including comparable sales, prior assessment history, and in some cases financial records for income-producing properties. Arizona's appeal deadlines are strict, and the firm tracks them carefully to make sure nothing is missed. After filing, the assessor's office has an opportunity to respond and often opens informal discussions about a potential settlement. Many cases resolve at this stage without a formal hearing. When they don't, the firm prepares the evidentiary record and attends the Board of Equalization hearing. For cases with significant tax at stake, appeal to the Arizona Tax Court is an option if the Board's ruling is unsatisfactory. Fabian Law will give a candid assessment of whether that additional step is financially justified before recommending it.

Service Area

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the appeal deadline for Phoenix residential properties?
Arizona's residential property tax appeal deadline is generally August 15 of the tax year. The notice you receive from the Maricopa County Assessor will include the relevant dates for your specific property. Missing this window means you can't challenge the assessment until next year.
How does estate planning connect to property tax appeals?
Properties held in trusts or transferred through an estate can face distinct assessment issues, particularly at the point of ownership change. Fabian Law advises on how ownership structures affect assessed value and can coordinate property tax appeals with ongoing estate planning work to avoid gaps in coverage.
What information should I bring to my first consultation?
Your current assessment notice, basic property information, and any recent appraisal or sale documents you have. For estate-connected properties, bring any trust documents or estate planning paperwork that references the property. The attorney will tell you if anything else is needed.
Does the firm handle commercial property appeals?
Yes. Fabian Law handles commercial appeals for office, retail, industrial, and multifamily properties in the Phoenix metro. These cases typically involve income-approach or cost-approach valuation disputes and require more preparation than residential appeals, which is reflected in the flat-fee pricing for commercial matters.
Is a property tax appeal worth pursuing for a single-family home?
It depends on how far off the assessed value is from market value and what the resulting tax savings would be. The attorney will give you an honest estimate at the initial consultation. Not every assessment is worth challenging, and Fabian Law won't encourage an appeal that isn't likely to produce meaningful results.
Can paying the tax bill affect my right to appeal?
No. Paying your property taxes doesn't waive your right to appeal the underlying assessment. If you succeed, the resulting credit or refund is handled through the county's standard process. You should pay what's due to avoid penalties while your appeal is pending.
What happens at a Board of Equalization hearing?
Both you or your attorney and a representative from the assessor's office present evidence and argument to the Board. The Board reviews the evidence and issues a ruling on the assessed value. Fabian Law prepares the evidentiary file and handles the presentation so clients don't need to argue their own case.
Does Fabian Law handle properties outside of Phoenix?
The firm's primary focus is Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and its surrounding cities. For estate planning clients with properties in other Arizona counties, the firm can advise on property tax implications across those jurisdictions as well. Ask during your consultation about your specific property locations.
