Lifetime Achievement for Tax Certiorari

There is a benefit to staying in one law firm and reducing real estate taxes for over 36 years -  I am proud to report that at the Long Island Business News’ Leadership in Law Awards ceremony at the Crest Hollow last night – I was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Many attorneys change jobs every few  years, motivated by either unhappiness or great expectations.  My chosen field gives me great pleasure, almost every single day.  To be able to improve a person’s financial conditions on their home or business – it’s a great feeling and one that I expect to continue at Meyer Suozzi for many years to come.

Real Estate Changes – Who Will Be The New Assessors?

There are big changes for Long Island’s government - Nassau County, Suffolk towns and both County’s legislatures have new players. Will this affect your real estate taxes? Not in the short run. However, in the future, I expect reassessments in most Long Island towns and villages.  There will probably be more early hearings on tax protest/grievances/complaints so assessments can be changed before tax bills are prepared.  Now is the time to make sure your property assessment is at the lowest level allowable so if changes are made you start on a lower footing.
