Real Property Tax Assessment & Eminent Domain

Real property tax comprises the largest share of local government revenue and a significant expense to business entities. Attorneys in our Real Property Tax Assessment & Eminent Domain Practice work in multidisciplinary teams to provide skilled, practical guidance to clients in all matters of real property tax, working closely with appraisers and assessors to resolve tax disputes and ensure fair treatment of taxpayers.

Our firm has particular experience in dealing with issues raised by contaminated properties. Significant efforts are being made by government and business to restore former industrial lands to productive use; these properties provide both challenges and opportunities. Our attorneys have worked on tax disputes involving some of the largest contaminated sites in the country.

In addition, we have extensive experience in eminent domain proceedings, including all aspects of the condemnation process at the federal, state, and local level. We represent both condemning agencies and property owners, working with appraisers to resolve many disputes during the negotiation process without litigation. Our command of the process and long experience in the field allow us to efficiently arrive at the fair compensation for the acquisition and to successfully navigate any required judicial proceedings.
