We care about your property and your property taxes as much as you do.

Each case is given individual focus. Factors that affect one appeal may be completely different than an appeal for a similar-looking property.

In a typical year, our office handles over 2,000 property tax appeals in Chicago, Cook County, and the Chicagoland area. Our team is proud to provide the same experienced representation from small to mid-sized and large properties.

Our Illinois property tax appeal services include:

Gary has represented me for almost 15 years on a number of residential and mixed use/commercial properties I own. He is very professional, kind, and most importantly, very effective. I appreciate his honesty and straightforwardness. I’ve recommended him to dozens of people. I have nothing but praise for Gary.

Gary Smith does all my property tax work related to the dozen properties I own. He’s been very successful at reducing my property taxes. He’s prompt at returning calls, and is helpful and patient in explaining matters related to assessments. He’s definitely there to get you through the process and reduce tax assessments whenever possible.

KSN works on a contingency fee basis. What does that mean?

Unlike some competitors, our law firm does not charge a processing fee. Our clients do not pay a legal fee unless we are able to successfully reduce their property tax assessment.
