Segal, Cohen & Landis

Segal, Cohen & Landis has been representing property owners in tax appeals and assessment disputes throughout Pennsylvania for over three decades. Our experienced team understands that property taxes represent a significant financial burden, and we're dedicated to ensuring our clients pay only their fair share. We've built our reputation on thorough preparation, aggressive advocacy, and consistent results. Our firm combines extensive legal experience with practical knowledge of real estate markets and assessment practices. We handle cases ranging from modest residential appeals to complex commercial property disputes involving millions of dollars in potential savings. Our long-standing relationships with local assessment offices, appraisers, and real estate professionals enable us to build strong cases and negotiate favorable settlements for our clients.

We offer comprehensive property tax services including residential and commercial assessment appeals, tax exemption applications, and ongoing assessment monitoring. Our residential practice covers all property types from single-family homes to large apartment complexes. We analyze market data, assessment methodologies, and property-specific factors to identify over-assessments and build compelling cases for reductions. For commercial clients, we handle sophisticated appeals involving complex valuation issues, income approach analysis, and specialized property types including medical facilities, manufacturing plants, and retail centers. We coordinate with certified appraisers, engineers, and market analysts to provide comprehensive evidence supporting our clients' positions. We also assist with tax abatement applications, appeals of special assessments, and compliance with ongoing assessment requirements.

Every case begins with a detailed analysis of your property's assessment history, current market conditions, and specific property characteristics. We provide honest assessments of appeal prospects and potential outcomes during initial consultations. Once engaged, we handle all aspects of the appeals process, from initial filings through final resolution. We conduct thorough investigations including property inspections, market research, and coordination with expert witnesses when necessary. Our team prepares comprehensive appeal packages with supporting documentation, represents clients at hearings, and negotiates settlements when appropriate. We keep clients informed throughout the process and provide clear explanations of procedural requirements and strategic decisions.

We serve clients throughout Pennsylvania with particular strength in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, Lancaster County, and York County. Our attorneys are admitted to practice before assessment boards and courts statewide. We're familiar with the varying procedures, deadlines, and practices of different counties, which allows us to provide effective representation regardless of property location.
