Frequently Asked Questions

What are the deadlines for filing property tax appeals in Cook County?
Assessment appeals must typically be filed within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice. The firm monitors these deadlines carefully and will ensure all filings are completed on time.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary significantly based on your property's over-assessment level. Successful residential appeals often achieve 10-25% reductions, while commercial appeals can sometimes achieve larger savings.
Do you guarantee results for property tax appeals?
No attorney can guarantee specific outcomes in tax appeals. However, the firm provides honest assessments of your case's potential and only takes cases they believe have reasonable chances of success.
What information do I need to bring for the initial consultation?
Bring recent property tax bills, assessment notices, and any documentation about your property's condition or recent sales of comparable properties. The firm will guide you on additional materials needed.
How long does the appeal process typically take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 6-12 months, while commercial cases can take 8-18 months. Complex cases involving multiple appeal levels may take longer.
Can you help with properties outside Cook County?
While their primary focus is Cook County, they handle select cases in Lake County and DuPage County. Call to discuss your specific location and case details.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If working on contingency, you owe no attorney fees for unsuccessful residential appeals. For commercial cases, they'll discuss fee structures upfront and explore additional appeal options if available.
Should I try to appeal my assessment myself?
While self-representation is possible, property tax appeals involve complex legal procedures and valuation analysis. Professional representation typically achieves better results and handles the technical requirements properly.
