what is a fair % for Tax lawyer

[Zulf H.]

Hi There, I would like to know what is a fair and typical  % I should pay the property tax lawyers for appealing my properties. They take a certain amount if they are successful in lowering the property taxes but I feel its high and I have given them 15+ bldgs to assess and submit. 

Wanted to know what other owners are paying for this service. I don't do it myself cause it seems time consuming and maybe a bit complicated. 

Thanks for the advice.

I have successfully appealed my own properties.

You should show why your taxes are too high.  I submit comps, pictures of my property, other lower tax bills from neighbors etc. Anything to prove my argument.  I always get it lowered.
