About Wade

I strive to provide each potential client the information they need to decide whether to challenge their taxes, and whether I am the right person to represent them.

 

Once I start working on a case, I utilize my specialized knowledge of property tax law, and other state and local tax issues, to obtain the largest tax reductions possible.  In every matter, I consult with my client and keep them updated about the status of their case. 

 

In addition, I handle a variety of other state and local tax matters, including, sales tax, documentary transfer tax, business license tax, and transient occupancy tax.  I also assist clients with challenging the sale of their real property by auction at tax sales.

Practice areas

  1. Tax: 100%

    I handle property tax litigation and consultation, sales and use tax, and other state and local tax matters.
