Why use a
Cook County / Lake County
Property Tax Appeal Attorney / Property Tax Lawyer?
You don't need a lawyer for a
Cook County property tax appeal / Lake County tax appeal. Lake County and Cook County have consultants, so you may ask if it's worth it to hire a property
tax lawyer. There are many reasons one might use a property tax
attorney. A property tax lawyer may notice seemingly minor things
you may be unaware of. What may be simple for an experienced lawyer may
seem complex and overwhelming to you. Having a lawyer act as an
intermediary will often mean a better supported, more objective argument.
But as valuable as the knowledge and experience of a property tax
attorney can be, another consideration is that every Illinois real estate tax
attorney is subject to serious penalties for violating the ethical rules
of the Illinois Supreme Court.
You can appeal yourself, get a Lake-Cook County property tax
attorney, or use a consultant, but if you do use one and there's
a problem, where will you turn? If you lose money because a lawyer
acts unethically the
Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission can seek
restitution, but only if you used a lawyer.
You don't need to use a
property tax attorney, but it can be very worthwhile.

Lake County Property Tax Appeal? Lawyer Richard Shapiro isn't busy enough with Cook County? Lake County property tax appeals have become fertile ground for property tax consultants, some of whom employ deceptive strategies to take advantage of people seeking to appeal Lake County property taxes.

Chicago Property Tax Appeal - Cook County Tax
Appeal
Sometimes taxpayers won't file a property
tax appeal on Cook County taxes because they worry the tax
appeal could end with the Cook County Assessor biting back. If you file a Cook County
tax appeal, the
Board of Review and
Cook County Assessor have the power to raise
assessments, but that virtually never happens. The analysts
responsible simply try to arrive at a fair assessment, not to punish
people for filing a tax appeal.
During the 20+ years since my first Cook County tax appeal, the
most frustrating mistake I've seen is people talking themselves out of
filing a Cook County tax appeal using unsound reasons based
on a mistaken view of a tax appeal, which makes sense
them to but differs from how a Cook County property tax attorney would analyze a Cook County tax
appeal.
If I sent you one of
my "advertising"
letters you should appeal. Whether you hire me, select someone
else or do it yourself, you should appeal.
