Nielsen Law Group

Nielsen Law Group is a Chandler-based firm serving the East Valley with a practice that covers estate planning, business law, and tax matters including property tax appeals. Their location in Chandler puts them at the center of one of Arizona's fastest-growing suburban corridors, where property valuations shift quickly and county assessments don't always reflect what's actually happening on the ground. That local knowledge makes a real difference when you're building an appeal case. The firm has a reputation for being approachable without sacrificing depth. Clients consistently note that the attorneys explain complex tax and legal issues in plain terms without glossing over important details. For property owners navigating an assessment dispute alongside broader financial or estate planning questions, that combination of clarity and substance is genuinely useful. Nielsen Law Group tends to work best with clients who want to understand what's happening in their case, not just receive a result.

Nielsen Law Group offers property tax services that range from straightforward residential appeals to more involved commercial disputes. For residential clients in Chandler and surrounding East Valley communities, the firm reviews the county assessor's valuation, identifies comparable sales that support a lower value, and handles the filing and hearing process from start to finish. Commercial and investment property clients get a more detailed analysis. The firm looks at income and expense data, market capitalization rates, and the assessor's methodology to find the strongest arguments for reduction. They also evaluate whether ownership structure is affecting assessment outcomes and whether changes to business entity arrangements could reduce future exposure. Estate and business planning services are available for clients who want to address property tax issues as part of a broader strategy. The firm handles trust formation, LLC and operating company setup, succession planning for family-owned real estate, and business purchase and sale transactions that include real property. Nielsen Law Group also provides services around tax planning for business income, which intersects with property-based business valuation in cases where a business and its real estate are evaluated together. That's a common situation for owner-operated commercial properties, medical offices, and professional service businesses where the value of the real estate and the business are closely linked.

Nielsen Law Group typically starts with a consultation where they gather your assessment notice, property details, and any ownership or income documentation you have. They use that initial meeting to gauge whether an appeal makes sense, what the likely range of savings could be, and whether there are any structural issues worth addressing alongside the appeal. If the case moves forward, the firm prepares a formal petition with supporting market data, income analysis where applicable, and a written argument addressing the assessor's methodology. They file with the Maricopa County Assessor's Office and manage all subsequent correspondence. Informal negotiations with the assessor's office often produce a settlement before a formal hearing. If not, the firm schedules and handles the hearing, presenting evidence and examining witnesses. Cases that don't resolve at the assessor level can be escalated to the Arizona State Board of Equalization or Tax Court, and Nielsen Law Group will take them there when the case has merit.

Nielsen Law Group is based in Chandler and primarily serves the East Valley, including Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and Ahwatukee. They also work with clients in Scottsdale and Phoenix and handle matters throughout Maricopa County. For estate and business clients with real property in Pinal County, which borders the East Valley to the southeast, the firm can extend its services. Out-of-state investors with Arizona property holdings are welcome and the firm accommodates remote consultations.
