Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a lawyer instead of a regular property tax consultant?
Legal representation is most valuable for high-value properties, complex cases, or situations where previous appeals failed. If potential savings exceed $10,000 annually, legal representation often pays for itself.
Can you take cases to court if needed?
Yes, as licensed attorneys they can pursue court action when administrative appeals are unsuccessful. This option isn't available with non-attorney consultants.
How are legal fees structured for property tax cases?
They offer both contingency arrangements and hourly billing depending on case type and client preference. Fee structures are clearly outlined in written agreements before work begins.
Do you handle cases on neighbor islands?
Yes, they serve clients throughout Hawaii including Maui, Big Island, and Kauai. Legal representation can be provided remotely for many proceedings.
What makes legal representation more effective than regular consulting?
Attorneys can develop more sophisticated legal arguments, cross-examine witnesses, and pursue formal legal remedies. The higher level of preparation often leads to better outcomes.
How long do legal property tax appeals typically take?
Legal appeals usually take 12-24 months depending on complexity and whether court action is needed. The thoroughness of legal preparation requires additional time but often yields better results.
Will using a lawyer make the county more adversarial?
Professional legal representation typically results in more respectful treatment from assessment officials. Counties expect legal representation in significant cases.
Can you help with property tax planning for future transactions?
