Our services
- Tax Assessment Appeals — In counties throughout Illinois, we provide all legal
services required to review and contest your property taxes at every level of the
appeal process. (For properties outside Illinois, we have working relationships with
law firms in other states.) - Annual Assessment Review — Is your property being assessed fairly and uniformly
each year? We’ll review your assessments on an annual basis to help prevent any
surprises. - Tax Incentives & Abatements — We help you determine if your property is eligible for
tax incentives or abatements. If it is, we’ll take you through each step necessary to
qualify for these significant tax benefits. - Tax Impact Studies — To help you make informed decisions based on current and
future tax liabilities, we’ll provide tax projections for your current holdings or
properties you may consider acquiring. - Tax Department Services — For those with an in-house tax department, we provide
your personnel with expert assistance and training. We can also serve as your outside
property tax department, ensuring that all tax notices and bills are reviewed and
processed accurately and on time.
Because of our proximity to the Property Tax Appeal Board, Jim files most documents in
person and maintains strong professional relationships with those who work in property tax
law, including hearing officers, administrators and their staffs.
