Why Use an Attorney

Some corporations*, developers, and residential owners attempt to handle New Jersey Property Tax Appeals by themselves. Some are successful, but frankly I believe I can obtain more favorable results than owners can obtain on their own.

Here’s why:

• I have filed and successfully handled hundreds of property tax appeals. I have been involved in over one thousand successful negotiations in property tax appeals and civil litigation matters. This is what I do every day.
• I have a reputation among assessors and town attorneys as being a competent and diligent advocate on behalf of my clients.
• I have contacts in the appraisal community and will secure expert testimony from the appropriate professional
• I know and understand the Rules of Evidence, and understand how to properly present a prima facie case which proves value. I am also prepared to counter evidential or procedural objections made by the town’s attorney.

Because of these facts, I believe I can not only obtain a better result than an individual owner, but that over time my fee will be repaid in long term savings returned to the property owner as a result of the successful appeal.

*An incorporated entity, including an LLC, must be represented by a licensed New Jersey attorney in all judicial proceedings. Tax appeals are considered to fall within this rule.
