I achieve substantial real estate tax savings for my clients' properties and have extensive experience in managing and arguing property tax appeals before local administrative agencies, the Circuit Court of Cook County, the State of Illinois Appellate Court and the State of Illinois Supreme Court.I served as Class Counsel in Khaldoun Fakhoury v. Maria Pappas, Cook County Treasurer and Ex Officio County Collector, the only successful real estate tax related class action in the State of Illinois in the last 50 years. The case was based upon the Treasurer’s improper application of the state statute relating to the refund of interest paid on property tax refunds. The judgment, on behalf of more than 23,000 Cook County taxpayers, was affirmed by the Appellate Court and Supreme Court of the State of Illinois and exceeded $14,000,000.
