Cahill ∙ Davis & O’Neall represents taxpayers in all types of state and local taxation matters. By way of example:

We counsel clients regarding state and local taxes to assist them in complying with applicable legal requirements. We also consult with and assist tax agents, tax consultants and certified public accountants regarding legal issues arising in the context of their state and local taxation practices.

We negotiate with county tax assessors and State Board of Equalization appraisers regarding assessed values of real estate and personal property, change of ownership disputes and other complex tax issues. We also represent clients in connection with disputes with county tax collectors involving property tax bills and disputes with county auditor-controllers in connection with tax refunds and cancellations.

When litigation becomes necessary to resolve disputes, we represent our clients at administrative equalization hearings county boards of equalization; we challenge property tax assessments and allocations before the California State Board of Equalization, in the Superior Court and the California Court of Appeal and the California Supreme Court.
