We have the savvy to recognize when an economic analysis is off or when a negative aspect of a building should reduce the assessed valuation. We've been doing this work for many years and have developed a "sixth sense" about what can (and cannot) be used to reduce taxes.

At the same time, we don't neglect the nuts-and-bolts elements crucial to this legal discipline. Our seasoning and sophistication prevents us from ever failing to file documents to meet a deadline, a common mistake of less experienced practitioners. We're diligent about keeping track of and meeting all deadlines and other client real estate tax requirements.

Over the years, we've had significant success in reducing assessed valuations for a range of commercial, industrial and apartment buildings. We're astute at building a convincing, credible case for each of our clients. We also rely on SFNR lawyers who are intimately familiar with Chicago's tax codes and real estate market, helping our clients avoid many annoying delays and other obstacles.

Our real estate tax clients are either organizations or individuals who own many different types of buildings, including:

• Industrial
• buildings
• Apartment buildings
• Office buildings
• Shopping centers
• Movie theaters
