We provide complete property tax consulting services including initial assessment review, formal appeals preparation, and representation at all levels of the appeals process. Our residential services focus on homeowner tax protests, helping families challenge inflated assessments that strain household budgets. For commercial clients, we offer comprehensive valuation services including income approach analysis, market surveys, and expert witness testimony for complex properties. We handle everything from small retail spaces to major industrial facilities and office complexes. Our team also provides ongoing assessment monitoring and strategic tax planning to prevent future overassessments. We maintain relationships with certified appraisers and market analysts to ensure our appeals are supported by current, accurate data.

We begin with a comprehensive assessment review analyzing your property's current valuation against market data and assessment standards. During our initial consultation, we evaluate the strength of your case and explain all available options. Once engaged, our team conducts detailed property research including market analysis, comparable sales review, and physical property inspection when necessary. We prepare all required documentation and handle filing deadlines. For cases proceeding to formal hearings, we provide experienced representation and present compelling evidence for tax reduction. We communicate regularly throughout the process and provide detailed explanations of all proceedings and potential outcomes.

Our Detroit office serves property owners throughout southeastern Michigan with particular focus on Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. We have extensive experience with local assessment practices and maintain active relationships with assessors and review boards across the region. We regularly handle cases in Detroit, Southfield, Troy, Sterling Heights, and surrounding communities. For significant commercial properties, we'll travel anywhere in Michigan to provide representation.
