Stavitsky & Associates: Seasoned, Attentive, Dedicated Lawyers Serving Clients Nationwide

Our goal is to ensure that our clients are fairly assessed and taxed by municipal, county, and state government. Our areas of practice include: Property Tax Appeals, Business Personal Property Tax, Tax Incentives, State and Local Tax/Sales and Use Tax Law. Our firm’s primary focus is on Commercial and Industrial Property Tax Appeals. In addition to these specific areas of law, Stavitsky & Associates, LLC is willing and able to provide a broad array of related legal services.

We strive to provide our clients with high quality representation. When challenging tax assessments, we become familiar with the property to determine whether an assessment is not equitable. To that end, we ask for information about the property, including its age, condition, size and ability to generate rental income if it’s leased or capable of being leased. We confirm the accuracy of our data by personally inspecting the property and asking the right questions based on our observations. After a thorough review, we share our findings with our clients and counsel them on whether or not a tax appeal is appropriate. At Stavitsky & Associates LLC, we view our clients as our “partners” and seek their input during each phase of a case. We recognize that our clients have other demands on their time, therefore they can be as engaged in the process as they wish.

We have represented commercial and industrial taxpayers throughout the United States for over 36 years, saving our clients hundreds of millions of tax dollars. Due to our extensive experience, we have forged cordial, professional relationships with taxing authorities around the United States. We utilize these relationships with one goal in mind – to achieve assessment reductions so that our clients are assessed and taxed both fairly and equitably. We are often able to achieve this goal informally, without the necessity of pursuing litigation. When informal negotiations are not fruitful, the filing of a formal appeal becomes necessary. The skilled attorneys at Stavitsky & Associates thoroughly prepare for negotiations, court appearances and trial by assembling the right team of fact and expert witnesses, critically evaluating expert reports submitted to ensure the most successful outcome for our clients. We are always available and accessible. Communication is very important to us so that we are aware of each other’s thinking in how we go about achieving equitable tax assessments in this time of increased government spending, rising tax rates, reassessments and revaluations.
