Characterizing the firms who defender homeowners from abusive hikes in their tax rates as being akin to "ambulance-chasers" seems completely backwards to me.
My tax rates seem essentially fraudulent and designed to bleed me dry. My comparisons include houses twice as large, in better school districts, with views, with pools, etc. The firms who help protect me from getting robbed by this bureaucratic exploitation are more akin to an honorable defense attorney protecting a wrongfully accused victim.
And of course, the whole notion of increasing property taxes is absurd. The government budget for next year should be roughly the same as this year. If house prices went up 10% that doesn't mean that the entire state government budget went up 10%.
- bradknowles 4y agoThey spam everyone in the state, and there are dozens of such firms. If you saw the spammy mailings they put out, you'd see why I see them as equivalent to ambulance chasers. Yes, they perform a service, and I'm sure some of them are appreciated by some of their clients -- just like ambulance chasers. My wife also happens to be a lawyer, and her opinion of them is lower than mine.
