Bad experience

Looking now at the county assessors website this guy did not win me anything and I paid him for home owners exempt. The site says the assessed value not adjusted on the appeal site. I think he charged me for the homes owner exempt which I applied for myself since I just moved in the property less tha...n one year in 2008. Then he kept billing me after I paid him half of the exemption. Never no more. Be weary as those complaining on here.

Horrible!

My experience has been less than desirable. We hired Mr. Walsh to appeal our 2009 real estate taxes. We received a bill for his services in 2014. How do I verify if I've been previously billed? After many attempts to contact Mr. Walsh to inquire about the bill, he fails to return any of our calls. He... then proceeds to send our bill (which I believe to be erroneous) to a collection attorney. Our credit rating is threatened. This is poor business practice at best. Strongly discourage anybody from hiring Christopher Walsh.

Stay Away from This Guy

Incompetent and Unethical - a bad combination. You dont want to use this guy. He first lost my appeal documents and so didnt even get my appeal in. Convinced me it was an oversight and got me to agree to an off-cycle appeal. Sent me a letter telling me he was unable to get me a reduction and firi...ng me as a client. Almost four years later he sends me a bill for his services. Claims he actually got me a reduction and wants his $210. I recounted my experience and how he lost my documents, send me a letter firing me and telling me he got me no reduction and that he actually cost me money by losing my documents for the year that he should have been appealing. He response was to then turn me over to a collection attorney. Run dont walk away from this guy,

Unproffesional, Unreponsive and Unorganized. The Worse!

I hired Chris to appeal my real estate taxes. I filled out all the paperwork on time and his office missed filing for this. He asked me to provide new paperwork to file for the next submission. I confirmed with him that he had all the paperwork for this filing back in July 2012 to file in Sept 201...2. I have not heard a thing. I am now afraid this was missed once again. Their office is completely unorganized. This is the absolute worse service from any company or person in my life time. DO NOT HIRE!

Unorganized billing department

Christopher G Walsh was able to reduce our property taxes, and we paid his fees in full and on time. We received a nasty letter from his office demanding payment in full immediately. When I called, I did receive an apology, and assurance that it would be cleared up. Three months later, we received a ...letter from a debt collector. I called again. And today, another letter arrived in the mail. I am furious.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
