They handle both residential and commercial properties with equal expertise. For homeowners, they focus on market value appeals, exemption applications, and error corrections in assessment records.

What to Expect

Initial consultations include a comprehensive review of your property records, recent assessments, and tax history. They'll analyze market data and identify potential grounds for appeal or tax reduction strategies. If they recommend proceeding, they'll provide a detailed timeline and explanation of the process. The firm handles all documentation, filing requirements, and communication with tax authorities. They prepare detailed valuation reports supported by market evidence and present cases directly to assessors or hearing officers. For court proceedings, their attorneys handle all litigation aspects while keeping clients informed throughout the process. Most cases are resolved through negotiation before reaching formal hearings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your firm different from other property tax consultants?
We're a full-service law firm with former assessors on staff, giving us both legal expertise and insider knowledge of how properties are actually valued. We can handle court proceedings that other consultants can't.
Do you handle both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, we have extensive experience with both residential homes and complex commercial properties. Our diverse team can handle everything from condos to office buildings and industrial facilities.
When should I consider a tax certiorari proceeding instead of a regular appeal?
Certiorari is appropriate for complex valuation issues, substantial tax savings potential, or when administrative appeals have been unsuccessful. We'll evaluate whether your case justifies this more intensive process.
Can you help with properties outside New York City?
Absolutely. We handle cases throughout New York State including Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk, and other counties. Each area has different procedures, but our team is familiar with all major jurisdictions.
How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We analyze recent comparable sales, income data for commercial properties, and current market conditions. Our former assessors know exactly what factors influence valuations and where errors commonly occur.
What if my property has unique characteristics that make it hard to value?
Unique properties are actually our specialty. We have experience with everything from historic buildings to properties with environmental issues or unusual zoning restrictions.
Can you handle multiple properties for real estate investors?
Yes, we offer portfolio review services for investors with multiple properties. This often reveals systematic issues that can be addressed efficiently across an entire portfolio.
What happens to my tax savings in future years after a successful appeal?
Tax savings typically continue for several years, though assessments may gradually increase again. We offer monitoring services to track these changes and identify when new appeals might be beneficial.
