Its tax time! Ugh! ILLINOIS TAXES ARE A JOKE! LCA is the only way to go! Dont wait, I contacted them last year because a friend recommended them and it was the best decision I could have made. They saved me a LOT of money. No BS, just call. You'll be glad you did. CMO. Ingleside, ILread more

We have been a client for about 10 years. I saw the signs and I admit, I was skeptical at first. I called with questions about the appeal process; all my inquiries were addressed and the fact Lake County Appeal had all the necessary resources (knowledge, lawyers, appraisers, filing clerks) to CORRECTLY file my appeal, I decided to sign up! This was the BEST decision - the FIRST YEAR our tax savings was almost $1,700 - and the 25% fee (based on that savings) is a fantastic deal. Each year I subscribe for the review through Lake County Appeal; some years the assessment remains unchanged while other years produced significant REDUCTION. Lake County Appeal has had the most POSITIVE impact on my assessment which is still lower NOW then when we applied for that FIRST appeal. The following year, my sister became a client – her opinion is just as POSITIVE as mine (our savings are dramatic) and, whenever the opportunity arises, we both make sure any Lake County resident who will listen or that mentions their Real Estate Tax knows how much Lake County Appeal has helped us! And I wish to express sincere gratitude and continued success to the Lake County Appeal Team -- You Are The Best! Barb Maguire Cary, IL 6/2018 June 20read more

We didn't give up, and our taxes were lowered almost $3000 this year! I love the analogy of going to the doctor every year for a physical. Sometimes they find something; sometimes they don't. You won't know until you get it checked out if something is wrong. We file every year with LCA. Every time I call the office to speak to someone to ask a question or get clarification, I was spoken to with respect and enthusiasm. We will continue to fight with LCA. Thank you!read more

I have contested my taxes before without success, but figured that I would give it one more try, and low and behold this year Lake County Appeal (LCA) was successful in my case. While the amount of the reduction wasn't what I had hoped, I understand that LCA did the best they could within the bounds of the Lake County Assessor and Vernon Hills tax base. I would use LCA again, because the process was painless.read more

This is the first time I've used LCA. The process was very efficient and resulted in a reduction in my assessment. However, for some reason the first communication I received stated that my original assessment was appropriate and that no appeal would be submitted. Then I received notice that of a successful appeal. I appreciate that LCA continued to work on my assessment and eventually got a reduction.read more

I've used Lake County appeal now for numerous tax appeals. They've always done great work, and also told me upfront if they thought that my property was fairly assessed. I'd prefer to get that honest opinion upfront as opposed to being led down a path of expecting a tax reduction only to find that the Board denies the appeal. The rules are not as simple as they may seem - but they have taken the time to explain to me why they thought my appeal either had merit or did not. Highly recommended!read more

I saw Lake County Appeal signs all over. Frustrated with my high property taxes, I contacted them. I gave them the initial $65 to start the process. I worried that they couldn't do anything for me. With very little effort on my part - they did all the work - I received word recently that they were successful and my taxes were lowered by $1700! I've tried other, more expensive avenues, to lower my taxes with no results. I highly recommend them. Ron Kingsley and his team are great! I will continue to use LCA. So easy!!!read more

I've used LCA for many years. For many of them they determined that my assessment was appropriate. Not so a couple of years ago. They filed an appeal and took it all the way to the Illinois Property Tax Appeals Board where they achieved a significant valuation reduction and tax refund for me. Last year they again achieved a significant tax savings, this time at the Board of Review. Ron and his staff are professional and responsive and I highly recommend them.read more

I have been working with Lake County tax Appeal the last 2 years. They've been successful in reducing my tax bill considerably. My monthly paymen has been reduced by over $300/month! They are continuing to fight as my property is still inappropriately assessed. Lake County Tax Appeal is great to work with--- respond immediately to any correspondence, keep me informed and are successful in reducing my real estate taxes. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to reduce their real estate taxes. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 only because I feel my taxes are still inappropriately assessed and am still waiting to get them down further.read more

I have used Lake County Appeal twice now, both for my residence. My assessed valuations continue to go sky high - and the comps and sales in the neighborhood just have not kept pace. In fact they are stagnant or dropping. In the first instance LCA got an a reduction in my property taxes. A few years later, they were denied a reduction, and took the case through to an appeal. They were successful at reaching a compromise on a significant reduction. While I have not yet seen a refund, I know they are on the case and working on my behalf. I highly recommend this service.read more

I started with Lake County Appeal several years ago. The first year they were successful and finally got my assessed valuation to be closer to reality and saved me a great deal. I have used them every year to help assure the assessment was fair. With the quadrennial assessment changes this year, I hardly recognized my property, since it was valued much to high for the market. While the initial appeal was denied, Lake County Appeal was successful in getting a reduction. Very much worth the reasonable fee.read more

I'll start with a very good, as I have yet to see the results of the appeals. I brought in a larger portfoilio of properties (some were purchased traditionally and other via foreclosure auction) I was set-up with a very helpful gal in the office and she sat and inputed all of the property information. A few days later I received several emails stating a few were assessed properly (which I knew already, but wanted to verify my thought) and the ones I am concerned about are in the appeal process waiting on hearing dates. I did get a random Sunday afternoon call from the owner to discuss one of the properties (pleasantly surprised). I have been pleased thus far and recommended them to a friend who also brought in several properties for appeals. Any time Ive emailed an inquiry I have gotten a reasonably timed response. It is a slow process and scheduled input would be nice, but as stated Im sure this is due to the growing pains as they are one of the few providers in the area. I will update this after the processes have been completed. I am not affiliated with them or have I received any discounted services for any input. Thanks for your help on my propertiesread more

Thanks So Much for all your help! We saved almost $900.00 this year! Fantastic. We hired Attorneys a few years back but it cost us almost half of what we saved. Love Lake County Appeal LLC. Though they probably needed to change their fees due to them needing to hire an attorney to process all their appeals since the BOARD Voted that only attorneys can process the appeals. We need to vote these board members out. To have this power and even with the amount of people that contacte them before the vote and they still voted that way ...... Shame on the Board of Appeals!But thanks lake County Appeals! Love your Service!!!!read more

I highly recommend Ron Kingsley and the Lake County Tax Appeal team for their skills and abilities in challenging property tax assessments. Ron was able to reduce the property tax assessment on my organization's land in Lake County by almost 90%!! The appeal will save my organization thousands of dollars this year and every year going forward. Ron provides great personal service and keeps you advised every step of the way. The contingency fee structure is very fair and allows you to pursue a challenge with minimal out-of-pocket costs. I would highly recommend that you consider Lake County Appeal for your personal or commercial property tax challenges -- you will be glad you did!read more

Ron did a great job representing us with our Real Estate Tax appeal. He successfully got our assessment reduced $25,000, which will save us about $3500 per year. It was a simple and painless process with Ron pretty much doing all the legwork. For those that don't like overpaying their taxes, I highly recommend Ron!read more
