Marathon IRS Tax Lawyers

Marathon IRS Tax Lawyers has expanded beyond federal tax issues to become Boston's premier property tax consulting firm. Our legal background gives us unique advantages in property tax appeals, bringing courtroom experience and legal expertise to assessment challenges. We approach property tax consulting with the same meticulous preparation and aggressive advocacy that has made us successful in federal tax cases. Our team includes attorneys, certified appraisers, and former municipal officials who understand both the legal framework and practical realities of property tax assessment. We don't just file appeals; we build comprehensive legal cases designed to withstand scrutiny and achieve maximum reductions for our clients.

Our property tax practice focuses on complex cases requiring legal expertise and formal hearing representation. We handle residential properties with significant value or unique legal issues, and specialize in high-value commercial properties where substantial savings justify our intensive approach. We excel at cases involving assessment methodology challenges, constitutional issues, and appeals requiring formal hearings. Our legal background allows us to challenge not just valuations but also the procedures and methods used by assessors. We provide comprehensive valuation analysis using certified appraisers, legal research into assessment procedures, and full hearing representation including cross-examination of assessor witnesses. For commercial clients, we offer ongoing compliance monitoring and strategic planning to minimize future assessment increases. We also handle complex multi-property appeals for real estate investment companies and institutional property owners.

We begin with a comprehensive legal and valuation analysis of your property and assessment. Unlike other consultants, we examine both the substance of the assessment and the procedures used, looking for any legal vulnerabilities. Our team prepares cases like litigation, gathering extensive documentation, expert testimony, and legal precedents. We conduct formal discovery when permitted and prepare comprehensive briefs challenging both valuation and methodology. We represent clients at formal hearings with the same preparation and advocacy approach used in courtrooms. If necessary, we can appeal adverse decisions to state tax courts. Our thorough approach takes longer but achieves larger reductions and sets precedents preventing future over-assessments.

We serve all of Massachusetts with particular concentration in Boston, Cambridge, Newton, and other high-value property markets throughout the state. Our legal practice allows us to handle cases statewide and in multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. We maintain relationships with expert witnesses, appraisers, and other professionals throughout Massachusetts, enabling us to provide comprehensive service regardless of property location. Our legal credentials allow us to appear in any Massachusetts tax court or administrative proceeding.
