Mr. Shapiro has been helping us keep taxes down for almost 20 years, I shudder to think of what our bill would be now if we had not gotten his office involved!

They dont lift a finger and do not fight for you. You can appeal on your own for better results. Scam

There are many honest real estate attorneys in the Chicago land area and Shapiro is not one of them. My entire family used Shapiro and we will avoid going forward. In some cases, the assessments can naturally reduce (e.g. COVID time frame). However, his office will take credit in an effort to maximize his profitability. Extremely unethical. If you protest or ask for explanation / clarity, they will threaten legal action. I believe another review alluded to similar concerns.

I and my uncle have used Richard shapiro for years. However, it come to my attention that in the last 2 years their has not been service that equal fees he charges. My recommendation is not to use him. Furthermore, do your research and find out if he's actually really giving you a reduction in your taxes. Attorneys like him are falsifying documentation that is not legitimate to the city of Chicago publication of tax ID OF YOUR PROPERTY. warning:. Do your homework !

Saved me thousands $$$ on my property tax bill due to the vacant condition of my home. I could not have navigated this without their help. I also use them every Tri-Annual appeal year and they have always saved me something. Thank you to Richard and all who work on his team!!

Lena, when we appealed your home's assessment, we submitted lack of uniformity evidence and were successful in achieving a reduction. Over the next two years, we estimate you will be saving a total of $2,000 on your property taxes. I'm sorry you are not happy with the results of your appeal. When you phoned our office, we shared both the evidence we submitted and counter-evidence supplied by the Board of Review to better help you understand how the case was decided by the analysts. Based on your communication, your disappointment stems from our not being able to get a reduction down to your recent purchase price. Since the transaction was not deemed an open-market transaction, we were unable to submit the low purchase price as an argument. The property was sold as-is in a cash sale on a private network. If you are still unclear and need further detail, feel free to phone our office to get your questions answered. We are happy to assist.

Irman, our office has never charged for an appeal reduction that we didn't achieve. During covid, when a lot of assessments were reduced by the Assessor's Office, we only billed if we were able to achieve a further reduction. When we bill, we always send an official result letter from either the Cook County Assessor or Board of Review, depending on which agency we appealed with. The result letter will detail the reduction the attorney achieved, only. And we bill based on our efforts. You can verify if a reduction was achieved by an attorney by contacting the Assessor or Board of Review or you can go on their websites and enter your PIN. When you search under "appeal history" you can see if the attorney is listed as the appellant. So, you don't have to take our word for it if you are curious if the attorney achieved a reduction or if it was a covid reduction.As far as another reviewer stating that we threaten legal action for asking for clarity, I am not seeing what you are seeing.We have been in business over 32 years and have never threatened anyone with legal action when a client asks for clarity. In the 43 years since Richard has been admitted to the Illinois Bar to practice law, there have been no record of any discipline by the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois. We are, also, rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. If we were a law office that operated unethically, I don't believe we would have the volume of positive reviews that we do; that reputation would have caught up to us many years ago. Best of luck to you in your future appeals.

warning:. Do your homework !

Dick, I don't know where to begin with your allegations. We charge based on the fees in the signed contract. When we invoice our clients, an official result letter from either the Assessor or the Board of Review is sent in the results packet. This information is easily verifiable by confirming the appeal win on either the Cook County Board of Review website or the Assessor's website. So, yes, you are correct. You can do your homework to verify if we actually won your appeal and if you are being invoiced based on the fees in the contract. It would just take a few minutes of research.
