The practice focuses exclusively on property tax reduction strategies, from initial assessment reviews to formal hearing representation. They've successfully reduced property tax burdens for hundreds of clients, often achieving 15-30% reductions in annual tax liability. Their thorough approach combines legal expertise with detailed market analysis to build compelling cases for tax relief.

The firm offers comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with free assessment reviews to identify potential savings opportunities. They handle residential property tax protests for single-family homes, condos, and multi-family properties, as well as complex commercial appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Their valuation analysis service provides detailed market comparisons and property condition assessments to support appeals. Additional services include assessment correction applications for properties with factual errors, STAR exemption assistance for eligible homeowners, and ongoing tax monitoring to catch future assessment increases early. They also provide consultation on property improvements and timing strategies to minimize tax impact. For commercial clients, they offer portfolio reviews covering multiple properties and coordinate appeals across different jurisdictions when needed.

The process begins with a complimentary property assessment review where they analyze your current tax bill and recent comparable sales to identify potential savings. If they find grounds for appeal, they'll prepare and file all necessary paperwork with the local assessor's office or board of assessment review. Throughout the process, they handle all communications with tax authorities and provide regular updates on case progress. For cases requiring hearings, they'll prepare evidence packages including property photos, comparable sales data, and expert testimony if needed. Most residential cases resolve within 3-4 months, while commercial appeals may take 6-12 months depending on complexity.

Williams Mitchell T Atty serves Rochester and all of Monroe County, including Brighton, Irondequoit, Gates, Greece, and Webster. They also handle cases in surrounding counties including Ontario, Wayne, and Livingston counties. Their familiarity with local assessment practices and hearing procedures in these jurisdictions gives clients a significant advantage in appeals processes.
