Pullman Group Tax Lawyers

Pullman Group Tax Lawyers is a Chandler-based tax law firm focused on helping property owners challenge inflated assessments and reduce their tax burden through the Arizona appeals process. Their practice is dedicated to tax law specifically, which means they've developed a deep familiarity with how county assessors calculate values and where those calculations tend to go wrong. They work with both residential homeowners and commercial property investors across the East Valley. The firm's approach is methodical: they don't file speculative appeals, and they're upfront about the likelihood of success before you commit to working with them. That kind of candor is rare in this industry, and clients tend to appreciate it once they've dealt with firms that promise the moon.

Pullman Group's core service is the formal property tax appeal, which they handle from initial assessment review through final resolution. For residential clients, that typically means the Maricopa County Assessment Appeals Board. For commercial properties, it can extend to Arizona Tax Court if the board doesn't deliver a fair result. They start by pulling your property's full assessment history, recent comparable sales, and the county's own records to build a picture of how your value was derived and where it's vulnerable. If the assessed value is within a defensible range, they'll tell you that too. For income-producing properties, they run an income capitalization analysis to determine whether the assessor's value reflects what the market would actually pay for the property at its current income. This is often the most powerful argument for apartment buildings, retail centers, and office properties. They also review property classification and tax exemption eligibility, including agricultural classifications and qualifying charitable use classifications that some commercial property owners overlook. Their exclusive focus on tax law means there's no distraction from general practice work.

Pullman Group's intake process starts with a property review, usually taking a week or two, where they assess whether your current value is out of line with market evidence. If they find a credible basis for appeal, they'll lay out what the process looks like, how long it takes, and what they expect to recover. They file all required paperwork with Maricopa County and handle any back-and-forth with the assessor's office. Many cases get resolved through an informal negotiation before a hearing is even scheduled, which saves time and often gets a good result faster. If a hearing is needed, they prepare comparables, appraisal reports, and supporting arguments and appear on your behalf. You typically don't need to attend unless you want to. If the board's outcome is unsatisfactory, they advise on Tax Court viability and manage that process if you decide to proceed.

Pullman Group serves commercial and residential property owners throughout Maricopa County, with particularly strong coverage in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, and Scottsdale. They also take commercial cases in Pinal County and have handled matters in Yavapai and Pima counties when the property size and dispute value made the engagement worthwhile.
