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 changed last year, I hardly recognized my property, since it was valued much too 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.

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!

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!

Had a great experience with Lake County Appeal! They were able to get my property tax bill lowered by about 20% and were incredibly friendly and kept me informed the entire time. Would DEFINITELY use them again, and I would recommend them to anyone!

Lake County Appeal helped save me $1,500 off my tax bill after a successful appeal. I am thrilled with their service and follow up and would recommend them to anyone who feels their tax assessment is too high. Highly recommend them.

The taxes on my house were extremely high, and kept increasing every year. I started working with Lake County Appeal, and they were able to reduce them by several thousand dollars every year. They are very easy to work with, and definitely get results! I definitely recommend them!

Outstanding organization. I have enjoyed great success over the years with lowered assessments. The price is right as well. Do yourself a favor and give them a try - you won't be disappointed.

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.

I am extremely pleased with my experience using the Lake County Tax Appeal team. They are 2 for 2 on lowering my personal property’s assessed value to bring it in line with reality. The process was extremely quick and easy and did not involve any of my time for follow up. Through this process LCA saved me a couple thousand dollars. I looked up their fee structure and it is very fair compared with other companies. I recommend LCA as I have had only good experiences to date.

Hon. R.E.Kingsley Esq. Has been completely responsive to our queries concerning my property tax issues. A very nominal fee buys you access to excellent lawyers, you can't go wrong!

Lake County Appeals did a fantastic job in successfully appealing my property taxes! They were communicative, responsive, thorough, and fully upfront and transparent about their fees. I will be recommending them to everyone I know who wants to dispute their property taxes.

Ron from LCA is amazing. He knocked off over $400 from my tax bill in the very first year I moved in. The customer service is very friendly and helpful. Anytime I called they educated me on various factors that affect tax assessment and explained me how the process works. They will tell you if you have a case for lowering taxes or not and proceed with the appeal if there is one (in which case they would normally make a successful appeal). I'd highly recommend them to anyone.

I have used Lake County Appeal several times and always had a good experience. This past year we appealed and Lake County Appeal got our property taxes reduced by over $2,000. As a realtor broker I often recommend Lake County Appeal to my clients. Great Service!

Ron is a phenomenal resource and so willing to help. Couldn’t recommend his services more.

Salim Bava

20:45 29 Jan 18

I am so glad that I have used this service. I got a solid reduction of 10% on my tax that roughly translates to more than one year early repayment of a 30 year loan. That too with no effort and upfront free from my side. I can say there is free lunch.

As a property tax attorney with over 25 years of experience in commercial, industrial and large multi-family properties, I trust my own personal residential appeal to Ron Kingsley and his team at Lake County Appeal. I've known them for years, and they are conscientious and competent.

Chip & Deanna Finck

23:34 30 Jan 18

We tried to get our property taxes reduced to our purchase price but the assessor would only reduce it slightly so we decided to go ahead and hire Lake County Appeals and we just got notice that Ron was able to get our taxes assessed based on our purchase price saving us thousands of dollars. We highly recommend him. He was extremely easy to work with and took our case at the last minute. We are very grateful for his help and will definetly use him in the future.

As an attorney I thought that I could handle my own tax appeal several years ago. I was wrong and was denied any relief. I hired Lake County appeal this year and was granted a significant property tax decrease. I'm very pleased with their services.

I have used LCA for a few years now and they always deliver! My savings have increased year after year and I am in a well assessed neighborhood. Trust this company and they will deliver. I am so pleased with their customer service and the easy to use website. This is the only company I'd use to appeal my property taxes. Thank you!

Mervyn Kopinsky

23:54 07 Feb 18

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!

Hi, we are first time home owner and not aware of many real estate challenges and the property tax was one of the challenges. Once we started paying EMI, we felt the pain of higher Escrow and started thinking of reducing the impact. When we googled, we saw some recommendations and one was Appealing process. Since we were totally new, we were hesitant to do this. But based further google, and the excellent review feedback of Lake Count Appeal team, we thought of give a try. We were really impressed the simplicity of process and initial wetting process gave confident and openness on setting the expectations was excellent. We have just produced few documents during initial submission, that's it and after that We got a mail notification on appealing and after few months got the verdict of the appeal. We were really surprised the way this team was handled my case and delivered the result. It was completely a peaceful and excellent win for us. Based on my experience with Lake County Appeal, I would definitely recommend this team for any of the neediest. Keep it up the excellent service!!!!!

Been working with them for years. Always professional, always helpful and full of advice. Commercial or residential they will get it done for you. I highly recommend working with Lake County appeal!

O n the recommendation of our realtor, we signed up with Lake County Appeal to help us reduce the taxes on our house. We are delighted that we took her advice as the results we got from the appeal filed on our behalf by Lake County Appeal exceeded our expectations. The assessment on our house was reduced by 18% resulting in a tax reduction of about $3500. The process was simple and any questions or requests we had were answered promptly and thoroughly. We are very happy with the service and results we got from Lake County Appeal. We recommend them highly and unequivocally.

Lake County Appeal is GREAT! They successfully lowered my property taxes 3 separate times. FIGHT MAKES RIGHT! Don't pay more than your fair share! You have nothing to lose by letting them to try to get your taxes lowered. (y)

As an out of state investor, it's challenging to find a firm you can trust. I've been working with Lake County Appeal for several years. They are very professional, super responsive, fair and honest. Highly recommend to anyone looking to save money on high property taxes!

Jill Wechselberger

16:24 15 Jun 18

We didn't give up, and our taxes were lowered 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!

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 M., 6/2018

As a contractor and a realtor I can see that one of the biggest problems in every family budget are the property tax. For this reason when I bought my house in Grayslake I knew from the start that my property is overasseset. In my attempt to find justice I contacted Lake County Appeal and I don’t regret. For a small fee they reviewed my case and they were able to lower the amount that I have to pay. They are working on a comision base on the amount that are able to save for you. I consider this a very fair approach. For all this reasons I highly recommend Lake County Appeal to everyone. You should give them a chance work for you.

Vincent Arpino

17:46 12 Jan 19

Thanks Ron and Jill for a job well done! The Libertyville Township is out of control with the assessments. Besides the automatic quadrennial raise in assessments every 4 years, they also have been able to raise the assessments in off years with a county multiplier in the range of 3-5%. The Assessors office has the opportunity to correct this, but won’t. Rather than complain, you need to protest!

Sarah Cohen

Ron and Lake County Appeal saved us a ton this year on our property taxes! Very professional, quick and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend using them

David Schumer

I highly recommend Lake County Appeal. The process could not have been easier and I recently found out that they were able to reduced my taxes by much more than any other tax attorney has in the past. Ron is always a pleasure to work with.

Amazing team, very friendly, prompt response and got great results!! Ron and Jill are the best in Lake County! Being in Real Estate, I thought it was not possible to decrease the absurb high tax rates in Lake County. The Lake County Appeal team proved it IS possible and did accomplish by significantly reducing the property taxes!!

James D'Angelo

20:04 29 Jan 19

Process is very simple, and they are very effective. You really just pay a fraction of what they save you, so there's no downside. If they don't win, you pay nothing. They do a great job of keeping you informed of the process. Highly recommended!

I really did not expect that much could be done about my rising house taxes so I was very pleasantly surprised when Lake County Appeal was able to lower them. Everyone I spoke with was very nice and helpful. I highly recommend them and will certainly use them again. Sharon Roberts

Richard S

20:06 07 May 19

Easy to deal with. We have appealed other ways before but never got much reduction from those. Mr. Kingsley saved me $2300 on the tax bill I just paid, the largest percentage drop we've ever seen.

Karin Trenkenschu

21:53 20 May 19

Special Thank You to Ron Kingsley and staff for a successful appeal and property tax reduction. Our largest ever! The staff is professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. When life becomes complex we are grateful to work with the BEST!

Attorney Ron Kingsley and the Lake County Appeal team achieved a fabulous result for us. I tried to do this myself a few years ago and got no where for all the research and hours I put into it. I think their initial low fee is very fair and, with a successful appeal, the method of determining the fee is even more remarkably fair. It takes experience, know-how and talent to get great results and Lake County Appeal has it all.

Michael Coen

15:31 24 May 19

I give my highest recommendation to the Lake County Appeal's Team for navigating the difficult waters, on my behalf, that are the Lake County Property tax quagmire. It is appalling that property owners in LC pay some of the highest property taxes in the country. Ron and his crew are champions for equality. Thanks Ron for all the significant savings.

Kent Tinucci

19:25 28 May 19

I researched which companies had the best track record for winning property tax appeals in Lake County. Lake County Appeal was the winner by a wide margin. So I gave them a try. Ron Kingsley and Lake County Appeal saved me over $3200 in property taxes! I previously had zero luck appealing on my own and also no luck with another attorney. Ron got the job done! Many of my neighbors enjoyed similar results. I'm so happy that I already signed up for next year's appeal.

Mark Kodlowski

07:32 02 Jul 19

If you live in Lake County than I highly recommend Lake County Appeal. Ron and his staff did a great job for me. They are professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Their customer service is excellent. Plus it is really easy and does not take a lot of time. They do all the work and you sit back and save money. Why overpay based on incorrect assessments when you can lower your taxes and save money. It’s a no brainer.

Robin Bernhardt

I encourage my firends, family and clients to appeal your taxes. Lake County Appeal has been successful in getting my taxes reduced many times. Their process is very easy and professional.

If you are tired of paying over assessed taxes and you want to stay in Lake County but the assessment is forcing you to move out of state, then you should hire Lake County Appeal. They'll do all the comparable research for you for a relatively small price. If you have a case, they will submit all the paperwork for you and if the Lake County Board rejects it, they'll forward it to the State for review. You'll likely have a more favorable result from the State level. Lake County Appeal takes all the stress of filing off the homeowner. Also, the new website for filing your appeal at Lakecountyil.gov site has been updated this year, so if you don't have time to master the new system, save time and stress and hire the experts. You may just be able to stay in your home if you decide to do so.

The staff and service at Lake County Appeal are wonderful! We have had great results using them. For a small initial investment, I believe it is truly worth it in the end. You’ll never know what they can do if you don’t try it out! 🙂

I started working with Lake County Appeal (LCA) in 2012. Prior to that, I had Appealed on my own a number of times, but I lost more that I won, until a Realtor friend of mine recommended LCA to me. With LCA, there have been 5 appeals: 4 at the local level and 1 at the State level. They won them all and saved me thousands in tax dollars by getting me fair assessments. Thanks very much Ron and Mark and the rest of the Team.

I've worked with Lake County Appeal for several years. The vast majority of those years, they have challenged my property tax assessment. On every occasion a challenge was made, they have been successful in getting a reduction. I appreciate their professionalism, easy process, and most of all, the fact they win!

Dave S

We have used LCA for several years. There initial fees are low but their service is top notch. Most years they were able to save us a great deal of money. We continue to use LCA each year for additional tax savings and have told our friends about the great service they provide.

Ron Kingsley and Lake County Appeal team are so great to work with. We appealed 3 years ago and they successfully reduced our taxes significantly. Once again I reached out and Ron called me within 24 hours to guide me in the next step. It’s so easy. They do all the work with a nominal fee and payment contingent on success. I can not recommend Ron and his team more highly.

Ted Moorman

09:55 26 Oct 19

I wholeheartedly endorse Lake County Appeal in its efforts to bring tax fairness to local property owners subject to property taxes. Many real estate properties are over-assessed, some grossly. I pay particular attention to my properties owned by my real estate business in Shields and West Deerfield townships in Lake County. For the past several years I have used Attorney Ron Kingsley's Lake County Appeal to review the assessments on my eight local single family homes in these townships. He has earned me significant savings by providing fairness to my assessments relative to other nearby properties! As a local official in Lake Forest responsible for setting tax rates for my neighbors I strive for fairness and transparency. Lake County Appeal provides it! Regards, Ted Moorman

As a well respected attorney myself, I see to work with those that have a similar work ethic and result oriented. I have received BUT those criteria from Lake County Appeal. Responsive, provide results each and every time. I am solicited by many for this service so unless there is a nuclear strike that takes me out, I'm staying with Lake County Appeal!! And telling my friends, clients and fellow attorneys.

Being a homeowner is one of life’s most rewarding experiences...

A home is a place where memories are made, communities are grown and generations thrive. Throughout the course of a lifetime, the value of a home can fluctuate, often so frequently that homeowners become at risk of paying too much in property taxes.Property taxes are confusing and are often overlooked, based upon the assumption that they remain fair and equitable.
