Tax Appeal

In this challenging economic climate, everyone is seeking ways to reduce expenses. One excellent means of doing so involves aggressively pursuing proper reductions in property taxes. Property owners, tenants, management companies, and others routinely hire Steinhardt Pesick & Cohen to represent them in property tax disputes and to reduce their property tax burdens.

In Michigan, property taxes are often based on a property's market value. The attorneys at Steinhardt Pesick & Cohen bring decades of expertise in real estate valuation on behalf of our clients. We have handled property tax appeals concerning a broad array of properties including vacant land, residential properties such as apartment buildings, manufactured housing communities, and condominium developments, office complexes, commercial properties ranging from retail stores to shopping centers to automobile dealerships, and industrial and manufacturing facilities. In doing so, we successfully address the issues that arise in property valuation disputes, such as comparability, vacancy, capitalization, costs, and depreciation. We understand the legal issues arising out of the constitutional and statutory provisions governing property taxation, and the technical and complex procedures that must be followed in property tax matters.

At Steinhardt Pesick & Cohen, our attorneys have applied our skills and expertise to achieve significant property tax reductions for our clients, saving them many millions of dollars. Most results are achieved through negotiation, but Steinhardt Pesick & Cohen's attorneys have successfully litigated property tax disputes through trial and judgment. Our success as litigators serves to reinforce our leverage in the negotiation process.

Steinhardt Pesick & Cohen provides the skills and resources found in many larger firms with the close attorney-client relationship available only in a small, boutique setting. Whether our clients own one small property or a large real estate portfolio, they can be assured of in-depth representation from a skilled, experienced attorney. For most clients, contingent-fee arrangements are available, meaning that our client does not pay any attorney fees unless we achieve tax savings on the client's behalf. We welcome the opportunity to review your property tax assessment and determine whether an appeal is proper. Please contact Jerome Pesick or Adam Cohen either by email or by calling 248-646-0888.
