Why use a Cook County
Property Tax Attorney - Property Tax Lawyer?
You don't need a lawyer to file a
Cook County property tax appeal. You might ask if it's worth it to hire a property
tax attorney. 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 attorney 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 real estate tax
lawyer can be, another consideration is that every real estate tax
attorney is subject to serious penalties for violating the ethical rules
of the Illinois Supreme Court.
You can appeal yourself, hire a 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.
Property Tax Appeal, Cook County Tax
Appeal
Sometimes taxpayers won't file a property
tax appeal on Cook County taxes because they worry that a tax
appeal could end with Cook County biting back. If you file a Cook County
tax appeal the
Board of Review and
Cook County Assessor do have the power to raise your
assessment, 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 some sense
them to but differs from how a 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.
Chicago Tax Attorney - Chicago Tax Lawyer
Why do I call myself a "Chicago tax attorney" or "Chicago tax lawyer"? I'm a Cook County property tax lawyer, but of course
Cook County includes Chicago. When people use the phrase Chicago tax attorney
they usually think of income taxes, but a Chicago property tax lawyer
is a Chicago tax lawyer, and sometimes a property
tax lawyer is what people want. I'm a Chicago tax attorney, property tax lawyer. I've kept a Chicago 'by appointment only' office since 1991.
