Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your firm different from property tax consultants?
We're licensed attorneys specializing exclusively in property tax law. This gives us legal training, courtroom experience, and deeper expertise than general consultants.
How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We analyze your assessment against comparable sales, market conditions, and property characteristics. Our detailed market analysis identifies whether you have grounds for a successful appeal.
What's your success rate in property tax appeals?
Over 90% of our clients achieve property tax reductions. Average residential savings range from $1,000-2,500 annually, with commercial properties often saving much more.
Do you handle appeals outside of Philadelphia?
Yes, we represent clients throughout southeastern Pennsylvania including Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, and Chester counties with their respective assessment offices and appeal boards.
How are your fees structured?
We offer contingency fees for many residential appeals (25-40% of first-year savings) and hourly or hybrid arrangements for commercial properties. All fees are discussed upfront with no hidden costs.
Can you help with business personal property appeals?
Absolutely. We handle appeals for business equipment, machinery, and fixtures that are often over-assessed or improperly classified by assessors.
What if my appeal is unsuccessful?
With contingency fee arrangements, you don't pay attorney fees if we don't achieve savings. We only succeed when you save money on your property taxes.
How long does it take to see results from an appeal?
Most residential appeals resolve within 6-10 months. Once successful, your reduced assessment typically applies to the current tax year and continues annually until the next reassessment.
