Gordon, Feinblatt, Rothman, Hoffberger & Hollander

Gordon, Feinblatt, Rothman, Hoffberger & Hollander has served Baltimore's legal community for over 100 years, with our property tax division bringing decades of specialized experience to assessment appeals and tax reduction strategies. Our attorneys understand that property taxes represent one of the largest ongoing expenses for property owners, and we're committed to ensuring our clients pay only their fair share. As one of Maryland's most established law firms, we bring institutional knowledge and long-standing relationships with local assessment offices to every case. Our property tax team combines traditional legal expertise with modern data analysis techniques to build compelling cases that achieve results. We represent both individual property owners and large commercial clients, adapting our approach to meet each client's specific needs and objectives.

Our property tax practice covers the full spectrum of assessment challenges and tax planning strategies. For residential clients, we handle appeals for single-family homes, condominiums, cooperatives, and townhouses throughout Maryland. Our services include challenging post-renovation assessments that exceed reasonable value increases, disputing new construction valuations, and addressing assessment increases that don't reflect actual market conditions. Our commercial practice serves office building owners, retail developers, industrial property operators, and institutional property holders. We provide sophisticated valuation analysis, coordinate with leading appraisal firms, and present complex income and market data in formats that resonate with hearing officers and administrative judges. Beyond individual appeals, we offer comprehensive property tax planning services including structuring acquisitions to minimize tax exposure, advising on improvement timing to control assessment impacts, and developing long-term tax management strategies for property portfolios.

Our property tax engagements begin with a comprehensive case evaluation where we review your assessment, analyze comparable properties, and assess the strength of potential appeals. We provide detailed written assessments outlining likely outcomes and recommended strategies before you commit to representation. Once engaged, our team conducts thorough property analysis including on-site inspections, market research, and coordination with appraisal professionals as needed. We prepare detailed legal briefs supported by compelling evidence and represent you at all administrative hearings. Throughout the process, you'll receive regular updates and strategic guidance. For cases that require appeals to higher levels, we provide seamless representation through formal hearings and court proceedings, drawing on our firm's broader litigation capabilities when necessary.

We represent clients throughout Maryland, with particular strength in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, Howard County, and Montgomery County. Our attorneys are admitted to practice in all Maryland courts and administrative bodies, allowing us to handle appeals at every level from initial administrative reviews to appellate court proceedings.
