Our clients include major national, regional, and local developers of properties of all kinds, including office, industrial, retail, residential, and mixed-use. A now leading part of our business is appealing taxes for commercial and large residential properties. Real estate values have plummeted. In some areas, fair market values have gone down by a much as 50% or more. Correspondingly, R.I. and Mass. cities and towns have not reduced their tax assessments in accordance with the vast reduction in values. We have had great success in appealing tax assessments and obtaining abatements in tax assessments in both R.I. and Mass. over the last few years. Some commercial clients have seen their tax bills go down by 30% to 40% and even more. The reductions have resulted in our clients receiving substantial checks and/or substantial future credits. In certain circumstances, we will entertain a contingent fee arrangement in regard to these matters. Michael Kelly is founder and John Mancini is a partner with The Law Offices of Michael A. Kelly, PC, Providence, R.I.
