Certiorari

Gilberti Stinziano Heintz & Smith, P.C. has, for the past 40 years, focused on representing property owners and tenants in challenging real property tax assessments with remarkable results.  We are renowned for excellence in achieving successful outcomes in property tax reductions, having secured savings in the millions of dollars for a number of national and international companies.  We have represented litigants in many significant officially cited cases.  Our clients include owners of commercial office buildings, regional malls, warehouses and industrial or manufacturing facilities and electrical generating facilities.

Our statewide offices - in Syracuse, Albany, New York City and Rochester - offer owners with multiple properties in New York State a sole provider of legal services for their tax reduction needs.  Our service to our clients, whether those with a single significant property or many properties, is enhanced because each office possesses and shares knowledge of local decisions, local administrative and court rules and practices, strategies, solutions, and property valuation methodologies and data.  We have the unique resources to take matters either on a contingency or hourly fee basis.  We annually monitor assessments and levels of assessment in the localities where properties across the state are located, perform analyses, and grieve and fully litigate matters with remarkable results.

Our attorneys are experienced in state equalization, special franchise assessment and advisory appraisal matters, and we understand how these products have implications for assessing units and individual owners' property taxes.  We have familiarity with general principles of assessment administration and mass valuation methodologies.
