Why you should hire special counsel...

Why Do Municipalities Hire Special Counsel
For Tax Review Proceedings?

Negotiation
A well coordinated and immediate response to tax review claims places towns in a superior bargaining position by exposing the weaknesses of utility company valuation methodologies.

Expertise
Utility company petitioners employ sophisticated appraisers who utilize complicated and innovative methodologies to reduce the value of utility property. Specialized legal expertise and a working relationship with a nationally recognized network of appraisal and engineering firms is required to defend against such tactics.

Politics
Local counsel may prefer to avoid the town politics involved in protracted disputes.
