How They Can Help

As a full-service tax law firm, we provide comprehensive property tax solutions beyond simple appeals. Our services include assessment reviews and analysis, formal appeals at county and state levels, and complex litigation when needed. We handle residential properties from historic Capitol Hill homes to modern Green Valley Ranch developments, as well as sophisticated commercial properties including office towers, retail centers, and industrial complexes. Our legal team prepares detailed valuation analyses, researches comparable sales, and presents compelling cases to assessment officials. We also provide consultation on property acquisition strategies to minimize future tax exposure, advice on improvement projects that might trigger reassessment, and ongoing monitoring to catch assessment errors early. For complex cases, we coordinate with appraisers, engineers, and other experts to build comprehensive appeals. Our litigation capabilities allow us to pursue cases through Colorado's Board of Assessment Appeals and district courts when necessary.

What to Expect

Our process begins with comprehensive legal and financial analysis of your property tax situation. We review assessment records, recent sales data, and applicable laws to identify grounds for appeal. If we identify viable claims, we develop a strategic approach tailored to your specific circumstances. Our attorneys handle all aspects of the formal appeal process, including document preparation, evidence gathering, and representation at hearings. We maintain detailed case files and provide regular status updates. For cases that proceed to higher levels of appeal or litigation, we leverage our courtroom experience to pursue maximum savings. Throughout the process, we coordinate with other professionals as needed and ensure all deadlines are met.

Service Area

We serve the entire Denver metropolitan area, including Denver County, Adams County, Arapahoe County, and Jefferson County. Our central Denver location provides easy access to assessment offices, courthouses, and client properties throughout the region. While we accept select cases statewide for complex commercial properties or unique legal issues, our primary focus remains the Denver metro area where we maintain the deepest expertise and strongest professional relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes attorney representation different from property tax consultants?
Attorneys can represent you in court proceedings and provide legal advice beyond just filing appeals. We also have professional liability insurance and ethical oversight that non-attorneys lack.
How do Denver property tax appeals work legally?
Appeals follow Colorado statutes with strict deadlines and procedural requirements. Legal missteps can result in case dismissal, making professional representation valuable.
Can you handle appeals that other consultants couldn't resolve?
Yes, our litigation capabilities allow us to pursue cases through higher appeal levels including the Board of Assessment Appeals and district courts.
What's the difference between county and state-level appeals?
County appeals are initial proceedings with local assessors. State appeals go to the Board of Assessment Appeals for more complex or disputed cases.
Do you provide legal advice beyond just appeals?
Absolutely. We counsel clients on property acquisition strategies, improvement timing, and other tax planning matters affecting future assessments.
How do you determine if a case has litigation potential?
We analyze legal grounds, potential savings, and case strength. Litigation makes sense when settlement negotiations fail and potential savings justify the additional costs.
What documents do you need to evaluate my case?
We review your property tax statements, assessment notices, deed, recent appraisals, and any correspondence with assessment offices to evaluate appeal prospects.
Can you handle multiple properties in one appeal?
Each property requires separate appeals under Colorado law, but we can coordinate multiple cases efficiently and may offer portfolio pricing for large property owners.
