    50% of your tax savings. it's a contingency fee...they only get paid if you win something.

    I hope that's just one time fee, not (semi)annually recurring charges.

    50%?! Damn the lawyers! ;) sorry, max

    O'Connor and Associates are not attorneys, they are appraisers and tax consultants. :)

    And 50% of your tax savings isn't as much as you think: $20K on appraised value translates to about $600 in tax savings (based on a rate of 3%). So that means they would probably only make $300, based on the 50%.

    Can I still challenge my 2004 appraisal or is it too late? I know there is a deadline but is there a way to go retroactive?
