About Us

Established:
I established this law firm on November 21, 1987 with the sole intent of providing the highest quality legal representation in matters relating to property taxation. This remains our top priority today.

AV Rated:
This firm is rated AV by Martindale-Hubbell. That is their highest rating and refers to our peers' perception of our legal ability and professional ethics.

Methods:
We represent our clients vigorously with the objective of obtaining a predictable, fair and equitable tax assessment. We do this in an ethical manner and are considerate of our clients' public image at all times.

Technology:

In the quest for greater efficiency, our office is equipped with the latest proven technology. The current version of PropertyTax.com, Version 5, has been built on a platform that is compatible with Internet 2. In addition to this website, we have developed a database that interfaces with several leading data services. This database ensures that the evidence presented in support of a client's case is accurate and reflective of the market. Our database is the most advanced in the property tax industry. We require that all appraisers with whom we engage subscribe to these data services as a precondition of employment. Finally, all routine communications with appraisers and other experts are via secure e-mail.

Positive Results:
This law practice has been built solely by referrals from satisfied clients. These results are not just handed to us; they are earned. We meet each new client face to face and personally view each property. We establish a relationship with each client on day one. After that initial meeting, each client knows that they can pick up the phone and call us whenever they have a question.

Communications:

Good and consistent communication between an attorney and client is essential for success. Our clients are kept apprised of all important developments in every case via written correspondence and secure email. All employees of this firm are accessible via telephone and email regardless of whether they are in or out of the office. All of our clients are encouraged to call with any questions or comments. We value your feedback.

Fees:
We charge a reasonable fee based upon the services rendered. Our fees are flexible; either hourly for time incurred or contingent upon results obtained.

Newsletter:
Our clients receive a quarterly newsletter detailing legal, economic, procedural and political developments which may impact the bottom line of their tax bill.

Client's Responsibilities:
We expect our clients to be straightforward, cooperative and fair in their dealings with us and any experts we may have to retain. Absent good cause, we require that our clients pay both us and their property taxes on time. Finally, when a client has a question or concern, we want them to pick up the phone and call us.

Privacy:
We protect our clients' data and other relevant information zealously. The information we collect is used only for the purpose of representing our clients' legal interests. We only submit such data to the assessing officials when their rules require such a filing.

Our Guarantee:

We guarantee an all-out effort to cut your property tax bill. If you call with with a question or concern, it will be addressed promptly. When the case is concluded, you will be satisfied that we have done everything possible to help you.

Sincerely,

Attorney At Law
