Frequently Asked Questions

What legal advantages do you offer over other tax consultants?
As licensed attorneys, we can represent you in court proceedings if necessary and understand legal precedents that may strengthen your case. We're also bound by attorney-client privilege and professional ethical standards that provide additional protection.
Do you handle cases that require court proceedings?
Yes, we're fully licensed to represent clients in court and administrative proceedings. Many tax consultants cannot provide representation if your case requires formal litigation or appeals beyond the initial administrative level.
How do attorney fees compare to other tax consultants?
While our fees may be higher, our legal training often identifies stronger arguments and strategies that can result in better outcomes. We offer various fee arrangements including contingency options for qualifying cases.
What types of property tax exemptions can you help with?
We handle homestead exemptions, senior exemptions, disability exemptions, and exemptions for charitable and religious organizations. We also assist with more complex exemption challenges and applications.
Can you help with special assessment districts?
Yes, special assessment legal issues require understanding of both property law and local government procedures. We can represent property owners in special assessment appeals and legal challenges.
What if my case involves constitutional issues?
Constitutional challenges to property tax assessments require legal expertise and court representation. As attorneys, we can identify and pursue constitutional arguments that non-lawyer consultants cannot effectively handle.
Do you provide legal advice beyond just tax appeals?
Yes, our tax law practice includes general tax planning, compliance advice, and representation in various tax matters beyond property assessments. We can address related legal issues that arise during property tax proceedings.
How do you handle cases involving multiple properties?
