With decades of combined experience in real estate law and tax matters, we provide sophisticated representation for complex property tax disputes. Our dual focus on legal advocacy and tax reduction strategies gives clients a distinct advantage in achieving meaningful assessment reductions.

We offer full-service property tax appeal representation, from initial assessment analysis through formal hearings and potential litigation. Our legal team handles both residential and commercial property disputes, with particular strength in high-value properties and complex valuation challenges. Our services include comprehensive property valuation reviews, formal petition preparation and filing, evidence gathering and analysis, and representation before Value Adjustment Boards. For commercial properties, we provide detailed income and expense analysis, market studies, and depreciation assessments. We also handle settlement negotiations and represent clients in circuit court if appeals proceed to litigation. Additionally, we offer legal opinions on assessment methodology and provide ongoing counsel for property tax planning strategies.

We begin with a comprehensive legal and valuation analysis of your property and assessment. Our attorneys review all relevant documents, property records, and applicable law to identify the strongest grounds for appeal. Once we determine viable appeal grounds, we prepare detailed legal petitions and supporting documentation. We handle all filings, manage deadlines, and coordinate with expert witnesses as needed. If your case proceeds to hearing, our attorneys provide skilled courtroom representation, presenting evidence and legal arguments to secure assessment reductions.

We primarily serve Coral Gables and surrounding affluent Miami-Dade communities, including Pinecrest, Coconut Grove, and Key Biscayne. Our focus on high-value properties and complex cases makes us the preferred choice for sophisticated property owners throughout South Florida who need legal expertise combined with tax reduction strategies.
