International Be Kind To Lawyers Day



International Be Kind To Lawyers Day is celebrated on the second Tuesday in April every year. This year, the day falls on April 10th. International Be Kind To Lawyers Day is dedicated to honor and thank the lawyers who were of help in some ways to everyone. Lawyers may have a lousy impression among the public, but it is a vital profession for the society and the justice system. The profession has always been subject to jokes and seen as an evil job by general people. The profession revolves around the perception that lawyers are charging an exorbitant amount of money to exploit the public and that their aim is to win the case by any means necessary, even if it means abusing the legal system. This day is to spread the awareness that many of these perceptions are myths and some lawyers do practice law with ethics.

Islip, Huntington, Babylon, All Suffolk Real Estate Taxes


Now you see an increase in take home pay – when you pay your Federal Income Tax next year, your real estate taxes will be capped; along with your NYS Income Tax. More than ever, you must make sure to get your real estate taxes as low as possible. You can only protest next year’s taxes by filing a tax certiorari complaint/grievance from May 1, - May 15, 2018. 

Commercial taxes are based on real estate rental value, not business value. Residential taxes are based on sales of similar properties in the same school district.

You need an expert to guide you. Properties with low taxes have more value when offered for sale.
