Segal, Cohen & Landis

Segal, Cohen & Landis combines legal expertise with deep property tax knowledge to help Houston-area property owners achieve significant tax reductions. Our law firm approach provides additional leverage in complex appeals and ensures all legal procedures are followed precisely. With decades of combined experience in tax law and property valuation, we handle sophisticated commercial appeals and challenging residential cases that other firms might avoid. Our legal background allows us to pursue appeals through all levels of the process, including district court when necessary.

We provide comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with detailed legal analysis of your assessment and supporting documentation. Our attorneys prepare formal protests that meet all legal requirements and present compelling evidence for reduced valuations. We handle complex commercial property appeals involving income approach valuations, depreciation analysis, and market condition adjustments. Our services extend to property tax litigation when administrative appeals don't achieve fair results. We represent clients in district court proceedings and have successfully argued cases involving unique valuation issues. We also provide property tax planning services, helping clients understand the tax implications of property improvements, subdivisions, and zoning changes. Additionally, we offer expert witness services for other attorneys handling property tax cases.

We begin with a comprehensive legal review of your property's assessment, examining not just valuation issues but also procedural compliance and legal grounds for appeal. Our attorneys prepare detailed protest documents that address both factual and legal arguments for reduction. We represent you at all hearings and negotiate directly with appraisal district staff and board members. If administrative remedies are exhausted without satisfactory results, we can continue your case in district court. Throughout the process, we maintain detailed legal files and provide regular updates on case progress and strategy adjustments.

We serve clients throughout Harris County and surrounding counties including Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Galveston counties. Our Houston office is centrally located to serve the greater metropolitan area. We handle properties across Texas when significant tax savings justify our involvement in complex litigation matters.
