Marino Law Group

Marino Law Group brings a personalized approach to property tax appeals, focusing on residential properties and smaller commercial investments in the Rochester suburbs. Based in Pittsford, they understand the unique characteristics of area neighborhoods and how local market conditions affect property values and assessments. The firm's property tax practice complements their real estate law services, allowing them to address tax issues that often arise during property transactions. They work closely with residential clients who may be facing their first property tax appeal, providing guidance and representation through what can be an unfamiliar process.

The firm handles residential property tax grievances for single-family homes, condominiums, and small multi-family properties throughout Monroe County and surrounding areas. They conduct detailed market analyses, comparing your property to recent sales and similar assessments to identify opportunities for reduction. For small commercial properties and investment properties, they provide assessment reviews and appeal services tailored to smaller-scale investors. This includes rental properties, small office buildings, and retail spaces where individual attention makes a difference. They also assist with special assessment disputes related to municipal improvements and handle assessment issues that arise during real estate transactions, ensuring buyers understand their potential tax exposure.

Your relationship begins with a consultation to review your property assessment and discuss your goals. They'll visit your property to document conditions and features that might affect value, taking photos and measurements as needed. Their market research includes analyzing recent sales and current listings in your neighborhood. They prepare and file all necessary paperwork for your grievance, coordinating with you on documentation and evidence gathering. During the hearing process, they present your case to the assessment review board, handling questions and cross-examination. They keep you informed throughout the process and explain outcomes and options for further appeals if necessary.

Marino Law Group primarily serves Monroe County suburbs including Pittsford, Brighton, Penfield, Webster, Fairport, and surrounding communities. Their local focus allows them to develop deep knowledge of specific neighborhoods and assessment patterns. They also handle cases in adjacent areas of Wayne, Ontario, and Livingston counties where their suburban residential expertise applies.
