I am a Chicago area lawyer who has won more than 200,000 property tax appeals for homeowners and commercial property clients. My practice is limited to Chicago-Cook County real estate taxes. My practice is focused on property tax appeals but also provides legal services for tax exemptions, redemptions, and certificates of error.
I opened my law firm in 1991 and have acquired more than 25 years of experience representing real estate property owners and users of real estate. My property tax appeals practice is limited to Cook County County.
