Trautman & Associates Law Firm
Trautman & Associates from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has received mixed reviews from clients. While some appreciated the firm’s communication and ability to meet expectations, others expressed dissatisfaction with the pricing strategy and lack of follow-up. Overall, clients who had positive experiences with the firm highlighted their effective communication and successful outcomes in lowering property taxes.
Really don’t know what all the fuss is about. These guys sent me a letter in the mail, we knew our taxes were going to go up (sure the CLR is becoming more and more of a thing but at the time of my reassessment I had seen friends in similar communities have their taxes raised above the 63.6% CLR) so I felt it worth the investment in a lawyer to fight it for me just to be on the safe side. I’d rather pay a bit up front to save thousands over the years that I plan on living here.
We agreed upon an appropriate price, they delivered on my expectations. They communicated updates when they had them.
Understands my needs
DO NOT HIRE FOR REAL ESTATE APPEALS.
This firm prices their service in a predatory way and lies about how high your home could be re-assessed by the school district. My house is assessed at 205k (2012 assessment value). I bought it for 365k. With the 2023 Common Level Ratio and if I skipped my hearing altogether, I would be assessed at 232k (365*.636).
They showed their pricing based on the possibility of my assessment going up to 365k (literally impossible because it has to be discounted back to 2012 value) and said they would keep it down to to 232k. Again, that is what would happen if I not only had no representation but if I skipped my hearing altogether. And they wanted $2,000 and acted like they were cutting me a break!
I happen to know my stuff. But to someone who doesn’t know their stuff, they are LYING and saying your assessment could go as high as your purchase price. It should go up to your purchase price multiplied by the Common Level Ratio (63.6% in 2023) in 99%+ of all cases.
Steer clear!
