Kim & Rosado

Kim & Rosado brings over 30 years of combined experience in property tax law and assessment appeals to San Jose property owners. As a boutique firm specializing exclusively in property tax matters, we provide the focused expertise and personal attention that larger firms can't match. Our attorneys understand both the legal complexities and practical realities of California's property tax system. We've built our reputation on achieving exceptional results for clients while maintaining the highest standards of professional service. Our approach combines aggressive advocacy with realistic expectations, ensuring clients understand both the potential benefits and risks of appeals. We're committed to transparency in our processes and pricing, believing that informed clients make better decisions about their property tax strategies.

Our comprehensive property tax services encompass all aspects of assessment appeals and tax reduction strategies. We handle formal appeals before county Assessment Appeals Boards, representing clients in both informal settlement conferences and formal evidentiary hearings. Our services include thorough case preparation with independent appraisals, market analysis, and legal research to support appeals. We also provide strategic consulting on property tax implications of transactions, helping clients structure purchases and improvements to minimize future tax liability. For complex cases involving unique properties or legal issues, we coordinate with specialized appraisers and expert witnesses. Our practice includes defending successful appeals against county challenges and handling supplemental assessment disputes. We also assist with correction of assessment roll errors and provide ongoing consultation on property tax planning strategies for real estate investors and business owners.

Our process begins with a detailed consultation where we review your property's assessment history, market position, and potential legal issues. We provide a written analysis including our assessment of appeal prospects and fee structure. When retained, we conduct comprehensive property analysis including on-site inspection and detailed market research. We prepare legal briefs and supporting documentation, then file formal appeals within required deadlines. We represent clients throughout the process, from initial assessor contact through final appeals board decisions. Complex cases may require multiple hearings and expert testimony, which we coordinate and present professionally.

We serve San Jose and the broader South Bay area, with particular focus on Santa Clara County properties. Our practice extends throughout the Silicon Valley region where we maintain current knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions. We're licensed to practice before all county Assessment Appeals Boards in the Bay Area and have handled cases in multiple jurisdictions throughout Northern California.
