Clients call me when they need help with a real estate tax valuation matter on property they own in Ohio.

I've assisted a large national retailer fight to get their day in court, when the local board of revision AND the board of tax appeals said they were barred from filing a tax complaint.

I've helped a real estate developer obtain a fair valuation of a mixed-use project, which included market-rate retail, market-rate apartments and affordable rent apartments.

I've aided numerous smaller real estate investors obtain tax savings on their rental properties.

I represent every type of property owner and focus my practice on tax valuation matters and other issues property owners confront.

 

Here's some case citations of matters that I've worked on that resulted in positive results for the property owners:

 

Property Owner v. Cuyahoga Cty. Bd. of Revision, 141 Ohio St.3d 43, 2014-Ohio-4511 - Successfully argued that a property owner’s claim was not barred because the Board of Revision had not considered the sale at issue.
