Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an attorney better than a regular tax consultant for appeals?
Legal training provides advantages in complex procedural matters, evidence presentation, and aggressive advocacy. Attorneys are bound by strict ethical standards and can handle related legal issues that arise during appeals.
How do you determine if my property tax appeal has merit?
I analyze your property's assessed value against recent comparable sales, market conditions, and assessment methodology. Strong cases typically show significant overassessment based on objective market evidence.
What happens during a Value Adjustment Board hearing?
These are formal proceedings where evidence is presented to support your appeal. I handle all presentation, witness examination, and legal arguments while you observe or participate as needed.
Can you handle appeals for commercial properties?
Yes, I regularly handle complex commercial appeals including office buildings, retail centers, and industrial properties. These often require sophisticated valuation approaches and expert witness testimony.
How long does the appeal process typically take?
Most appeals are resolved within 4-8 months, depending on complexity and hearing schedules. I'll keep you informed of progress and expected timelines throughout the process.
What if the property appraiser offers a settlement?
I evaluate all settlement offers against your appeal's strength and potential hearing outcomes. Many cases settle favorably before formal hearings, saving time while achieving meaningful tax reductions.
Do you offer payment plans for your services?
Appeals are handled on contingency, so no upfront payment is required. For hourly services like consultations, I can discuss payment arrangements based on individual circumstances.
What should I do if I disagree with my property assessment?
Contact me as soon as possible since appeal deadlines are strict. I'll review your assessment and market conditions to determine if an appeal is warranted and likely to succeed.
