Services
How They Can Help
Our property tax practice covers comprehensive assessment appeals, valuation disputes, and tax reduction strategies for residential and commercial properties. We handle formal appeals before county boards, State Board of Equalization cases, and complex valuation challenges requiring expert testimony. Our services include pre-appeal assessment reviews, evidence development, and strategic case planning. We also assist with assessment methodology challenges, particularly for unique properties where standard approaches may not apply. Beyond appeals, we provide preventive services like assessment monitoring, tax planning for property acquisitions, and guidance on improvement timing to minimize assessment impact. Our attorneys work closely with certified appraisers and tax professionals to build compelling cases supported by solid legal and technical foundations.
What to Expect
Our legal approach begins with thorough case evaluation, examining both factual and legal grounds for appeal. We review assessment records, analyze comparable data, and identify procedural or substantive issues that strengthen your position. When we accept a case, we develop comprehensive legal strategy, coordinate with appraisal experts, and prepare detailed briefs supporting value reduction. We represent clients at all hearing levels and handle any subsequent legal proceedings. Our attorneys ensure all deadlines are met and procedural requirements satisfied while building the strongest possible case for assessment reduction.
Service Area
We represent property owners throughout Santa Clara County and surrounding Bay Area counties, with particular focus on San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, and Campbell. Our familiarity with local assessment practices and hearing procedures gives clients significant procedural advantages in these jurisdictions.
