Their approach combines legal expertise with deep knowledge of local assessment practices across Wayne County and surrounding areas. The firm handles everything from simple residential protests to complex commercial property appeals, consistently achieving significant savings for their clients while maintaining transparent communication throughout the process.

The firm offers comprehensive property tax assessment reviews, analyzing your property's current valuation against comparable sales and market conditions. They handle formal appeals before local boards of review, providing detailed evidence packages and expert testimony when needed. Their residential services include homestead exemption applications, principal residence exemptions, and poverty exemptions for qualifying homeowners. For commercial clients, they conduct thorough income and expense analyses, challenging inflated assessments on office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties. The team also provides valuation consulting for new construction projects and assists with special assessments and millage disputes. Their tax reduction consulting extends to multi-property portfolios, helping investors and businesses manage their overall property tax exposure across multiple jurisdictions.

Your consultation begins with a comprehensive property assessment review, where they analyze your current tax bill against recent comparable sales and market data. If savings potential exists, they'll prepare a detailed appeal package including photographs, market analysis, and supporting documentation. They handle all filing deadlines and represent you at board of review hearings. Throughout the process, you'll receive regular updates on your case status and clear explanations of each step. Most residential cases resolve within 60-90 days, while commercial appeals may take longer depending on complexity. They work on contingency for many cases, so you only pay when they achieve results.

Based in Ecorse, Ron French & Associates serves Wayne County including Detroit, Dearborn, Lincoln Park, and Wyandotte. They also handle cases throughout southeast Michigan, covering Oakland and Macomb counties. Their familiarity with local assessors and board procedures gives clients a significant advantage in achieving successful outcomes.
