Understanding How Much Does A Property Tax Lawyer Cost?

At McKirdy, Riskin, Olson & DellaPelle, P.C., we understand that property owners are often concerned about legal fees when challenging property tax assessments or facing eminent domain proceedings. As New Jersey’s leading property rights attorneys, we offer transparent fee structures designed to align our interests with yours and minimize financial risk.

For NJ property tax appeal matters, we primarily utilize a contingency fee arrangement based on a percentage of the actual tax savings realized. This means:

• You pay legal fees only if we successfully reduce your assessment
• Your fee is proportional to the actual tax savings achieved
• No recovery equals no attorney fees
• Your financial risk is eliminated while pursuing legitimate assessment challenges

This arrangement creates a partnership between client and attorney, where both parties benefit from positive results and efficient representation.

Eminent Domain Representation Fee Structure

Similarly, in eminent domain cases, we typically offer contingent fee arrangements where:

• Our firm receives a fee only if we secure greater compensation than initially offered
• If we cannot increase your compensation, you owe no attorney fees
• The contingency percentage is based on the additional value recovered beyond the initial offer

Alternative Billing Options When Appropriate

While contingency arrangements work well for most clients, we recognize that some situations require flexibility:

• Time-based billing for clients preferring traditional fee structures
• Alternative fee arrangements for special circumstances
• Customized billing solutions based on case complexity and client preferences

Each case receives careful evaluation before we recommend the most appropriate and fair fee structure based on your specific circumstances and preferences.
