How They Can Help

I provide comprehensive property tax services including assessment appeals, exemption applications, and tax dispute resolution. My approach emphasizes personal service and direct communication throughout the appeal process. Services include detailed property valuation analysis, formal appeal preparation and filing, hearing representation, and superior court appeals when necessary. I also handle tax exemption applications for homeowners, seniors, veterans, and small nonprofits. For business clients, I provide ongoing tax planning advice and handle personal property appeals for equipment and inventory. My practice includes estate planning integration to address property tax implications for inherited properties.

What to Expect

Your case begins with a personal consultation where I review your property tax situation and explain your options in plain English. I take time to understand your specific circumstances and goals before recommending a strategy. Once retained, I handle all aspects of your appeal including research, documentation, filing, and representation. I keep you informed at every step and make myself available to answer questions. Most cases resolve through negotiation, but I'm prepared to represent you in hearings or court when necessary for the best outcome.

Service Area

I serve property owners throughout metro Atlanta with primary focus on Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett counties where I have extensive experience with local procedures and personnel. As a licensed Georgia attorney, I can represent clients in any Georgia jurisdiction. I also assist clients with multi-state property issues and coordinate with other attorneys when needed for complex matters involving properties outside Georgia.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is working with a solo attorney different from a larger firm?
You get direct access to me personally rather than working with different associates or paralegals. This means consistent communication, personal attention to your case details, and the ability to reach me directly with questions or concerns.
Do you handle cases outside the Atlanta area?
While I focus primarily on metro Atlanta counties, I can represent clients anywhere in Georgia. For properties outside my primary service area, I evaluate each case individually based on the potential for success and value involved.
What makes you different from non-attorney tax consultants?
As an attorney, I can represent you in court if appeals go beyond administrative level. I also provide attorney-client privilege protection and can address legal complications that tax consultants cannot handle.
How do you keep your fees reasonable compared to larger law firms?
My lower overhead as a solo practitioner allows me to offer competitive rates while maintaining quality representation. I also focus on efficient case handling and clear communication to minimize unnecessary time and costs.
Can you help with property taxes in divorce or estate situations?
Yes, I regularly handle property tax issues that arise during family transitions. This includes appeals on inherited properties, division of tax responsibilities in divorce, and planning to minimize tax exposure for heirs.
What if my case requires going to superior court?
I'm fully licensed to represent clients in superior court appeals when administrative remedies are exhausted. This capability gives us additional leverage in negotiations and options if county boards rule unfavorably.
Do you offer payment plans for your services?
For flat fee arrangements, I can often work out reasonable payment schedules based on individual circumstances. Contingency fee appeals require no upfront payment, with fees only due if we achieve savings.
How often should I have my property assessment reviewed?
I recommend annual review of your tax notice, especially if you've made property improvements or if neighborhood values have declined. Not every year requires an appeal, but staying informed helps identify opportunities for tax reduction.
