About Charles E Hammond
Charles E Hammond III draws on three distinct academic degrees to shape his legal practice. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Florida, followed by a Juris Doctor from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. He then pursued an LL.M. in Taxation at the University of Denver, a credential that informs much of his work today.
His academic path set a deliberate course. The business degree provided grounding in commerce and finance. The J.D. established his legal foundation. The LL.M. added specialized training in tax law. Those elements come together in day-to-day problem solving for clients who face complex tax and transactional questions.
Hammond’s career has unfolded in private practice. He is the principal attorney at Hammond Law Group, PLLC. There he handles matters that draw on both his business background and his tax training. He has experience counseling individuals and closely held enterprises on routine compliance and on tax-sensitive decisions about structure and ownership.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in approach. He breaks problems into discrete pieces and addresses each in turn. That method serves well in tax work, where attention to technical detail can change outcomes. It also suits transactional matters, which often require juggling contracts, timelines and regulatory steps.
He prepares documents, reviews agreements, and advises on reporting obligations. He also assists clients who are evaluating strategic moves—such as reorganizations or transfers—where tax consequences are a major consideration. His Law School and LL.M. training provide him tools for reading complicated statutes and for mapping how rules apply to a client’s facts.
Hammond balances technical analysis with practical thinking. He explains options in plain language. He aims to give clients enough information to make decisions without burying them in jargon. This practical posture shapes how he staffs matters and how he communicates outcomes to business owners and individuals.
Outside of client files, he has maintained ties to the academic institutions that shaped him, staying current on tax developments and changes in business law. He continues to add to that base of knowledge as tax rules evolve and as new court decisions affect planning.
He currently practices at Hammond Law Group, PLLC. His practice concentrates on tax and business matters.
