Several of our attorneys maintain an active property tax practice and are seasoned veterans when dealing with tax matters. Their extensive knowledge and practice before the Cook County Assessor’s Office, Board of Review and Property Tax Appeal Board aid our clients to realize considerable savings with respect to property tax appeal defense and exemptions. Our attorneys understand and provide counsel on all aspects of property tax appeals, including taxable and assessed value appeals, various exemptions available, the appraisal and valuation process, levies, special assessments, and all other property tax related matters.
Our firm represents numerous clients – municipal, school and other entities and individuals – in worker’s compensation matters and has been engaged for over four decades, handling all claims from the date of injury through the highest levels of litigation. We are primarily on the defense side of matters on behalf of the employer but have also represented petitioners.
The majority of worker’s compensation defense work by the firm is before the Chicago branch of the Illinois Worker’s Compensation Commission, with our worker’s compensation attorneys also arguing before the Worker’s Compensation Appellate Division on numerous occasions. We have experience in handling claims throughout Illinois, including an extensive number of arbitrations, petitions for review, and appeals to both the Circuit and Appellate Courts.
Our attorneys have worked in both the private and public real estate sector, making them uniquely qualified to provide the most effective service in areas of land use and real estate. We offer counseling and advisory services to assist clients in successfully navigating the intricate process of property development with an understanding of the complexities that often arise.
With years of experience, our attorneys are familiar with government contracting, land use entitlement, and legislative decision-making processes. We work with our clients to support their goals, and our services span all aspects and stages of the land use entitlement process including, but not limited to, general and community plan amendments, zoning, development agreements, conditional use and discretionary development permits, real estate tax appeals, government agency interfacing, and legislative advocacy. Our attorneys provide guidance in securing permits and other approvals from numerous public agencies, including local municipalities, counties, regional decision-making bodies, as well as state and federal agencies.
Our firm also assists with residential real estate sales, purchases, and other transactions. The advice from our trusted attorneys helps to ensure that both sellers and homebuyers alike remain informed and confident throughout the process.
