Law Office of Linda Sung

The Law Office of Linda Sung in Anaheim provides focused legal representation for property tax matters, business disputes, and family law throughout Orange County. Linda Sung has built a practice that's personal in the way that matters: she knows her clients by name, understands their situations, and gives straightforward advice without the runaround. On the property tax side, the office handles assessment appeals for homeowners and small commercial property owners who feel they're paying more than their fair share. Orange County's real estate market has moved dramatically in recent years, and a lot of properties are carrying assessed values that don't reflect current conditions. That gap is exactly where a well-prepared appeal can make a real difference.

Linda Sung's office offers property tax appeal representation for residential and commercial property owners in Anaheim and the surrounding Orange County area. Services include reviewing current assessments, preparing Assessment Appeals Board filings, and representing clients through the hearing process. The office also advises property owners on Prop 13 base year value transfers, Prop 19 parent-child exclusions, and the implications of ownership changes on reassessment. For commercial clients, the practice includes reviewing business personal property assessments, advising on the tax consequences of commercial leases, and working through valuation disputes for retail, office, and mixed-use properties. The intersection of business law and tax law means the office can spot issues that a pure tax firm might miss, such as how an entity restructuring or a new lease arrangement could trigger a change-of-ownership event. The office also handles property-related matters in the context of divorce and family law, including how community property with significant unrealized tax liability should be allocated, and how to handle the reassessment risk when one spouse buys out the other's interest in the family home.

New clients start with a consultation to review their assessment notices, tax bills, and any recent purchase or appraisal information. Linda reviews the data herself and gives a direct opinion on whether the current assessment is defensible or whether there's a meaningful case for a reduction. From there, the office prepares the appeal documentation, assembles the supporting evidence, and files with the Orange County Assessment Appeals Board. The process includes ongoing communication with the assessor's office, which sometimes leads to an informal resolution before the formal hearing date. Clients are kept in the loop throughout. Linda believes that clients who understand what's happening in their case make better decisions, so she takes time to explain what the assessor is likely to argue and how the office plans to respond. If the case goes to a full hearing, she appears personally rather than delegating to junior staff.

The office primarily serves property owners in Anaheim, Anaheim Hills, Orange, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba Linda, and the broader north Orange County area. Clients from other parts of Orange County are welcome, and the office handles commercial matters in Los Angeles County as well when they connect to an existing client relationship. Initial consultations are available in person or by phone.
