How They Can Help

Our property tax services begin with comprehensive assessment analysis, where we review your property records, recent assessments, and local market data to identify potential overassessments. We specialize in complex commercial property appeals, including retail centers, office buildings, and industrial properties where specialized valuation knowledge is essential. For residential clients, we handle single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-family properties throughout the South Shore and surrounding areas. Our services include preparing detailed appeal documentation, representing clients at assessment review boards, and negotiating directly with local assessors when appropriate. We also provide ongoing consultation for property owners who want to monitor their assessments year-over-year and identify trends that might affect future tax liability.

What to Expect

We start with a detailed consultation to understand your property and review recent assessments and market activity. If we identify appeal potential, we'll outline our strategy and fee structure clearly. Our team then conducts thorough property research, including site inspections when necessary, and prepares comprehensive appeal documentation. We handle all filing requirements and deadlines, represent you at hearings, and provide regular updates throughout the process. Most appeals conclude within 4-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer.

Service Area

McGinn Law serves the South Shore region including Braintree, Quincy, Weymouth, Hingham, Cohasset, and surrounding communities. We also handle matters throughout Norfolk and Plymouth counties. Our familiarity with local assessment practices and relationships with municipal officials throughout the region helps us achieve better outcomes for our clients.

What makes your approach different from other tax consultants?
Our legal training allows us to identify and address legal issues that non-attorney consultants might miss. We also have the ability to pursue litigation if administrative appeals are unsuccessful.

Can you handle appeals in multiple towns?
Yes, we're licensed throughout Massachusetts and regularly handle appeals in dozens of South Shore and Greater Boston communities.

We use various fee structures depending on case complexity, including flat fees, hourly rates, and success-based arrangements. All fees are clearly outlined in our engagement agreements.
