Andrew Emmert proactively reached out to me to appeal for a lower tax-assessed valuation of a property I purchased which I found to be very impressive. From that first written communication I received from Drew to the final email I received recapping the final resolution of real estate tax appeal case, Drew was an excellent written and oral communicator. Both myself and my real estate broker were able to easily produce the documentation Drew needed in a very timely manner as he explained the appeal process and the need for supporting documents very clearly. He also followed up in a timely and concise manner throughout each step of the appeal process taking time to explain each step in detail and as well as the next steps in the process. Finally, I also found his fees/the firm's fees to be very fair. I would 100% recommend Drew to my friends and colleagues without hesitation!

I needed to resolve a sensitive financial matter that involved a family member. Mr. Emmert took time to understand the situation, was patient, made himself available whenever needed and offered sound and professional guidance. The matter was resolved satisfactorily with his assistance. I recommend him very highly. He made a stressful situation much less stressful by offering clear guidance and direction.

We hired Drew Emmert based upon a recommendation from our estate planning attorney. We were embarking on buying a lot from a developer, which required a tear down, and then building our custom dream home. After 40 years in the financial business (now retired) we knew there are many complications that can arise when building, starting with ensuring the construction contract with the developer contained all the language to protect our interests throughout the entire 12 month process. Drew counseled with us to first ascertain all we had in mind in building. Throughout the negotiations with the developer's attorney he never waivered in insisting all the protections required were part of the contract. His communication level, expertise, knowledge and follow-up was impeccable. We would recommend Drew Emmert to anyone in need of a top quality real estate attorney.

I hired Andrew to review and submit a commercial real estate property tax appeal and he requested many relevant items and went the extra step to find additional items to present a comprehensive analysis to the assessor. He was reasonable with the fees, prompt to respond, and made a compelling argument for a reduction which led to success in the end. I would highly recommend him for all commercial real estate business needs and he is very personable.

Drew assisted in work to acquire a privately held company, including but not limited to supporting valuation, drafting a Letter of Intent, performing due diligence documentation review, and advising on the deal structure. He is a professional, experienced, and trustworthy attorney, and I felt like I had a true partner through the process. I would highly recommend his services.

Mr. Emmert keep us well informed of the process all along the way. He took care of all the details and made arrangements for professional assistance necessary for our appeal. The ultimate success of our appeal was a direct result of his preparation and attention to the details.

I worked w/Drew over 20 years ago when he did Estate work. I live in Chicago. He was in charge of executing my 100 year old Aunt's estate in Cincinnati. He had met w/her and set up her will. My aunt had a lifetime of savings bonds in a huge burlap bag. Tons of detail in liquidating/dispersing them. He recommended 3 realtors who I interviewed to decide which would sell the house. Each had a different vision so I was appreciative of the variety of resources. He was timely with EVERYTHING and reports were very easy to understand. Just recently I contacted him regarding a resource I needed in the Chicago area. He was very generous with his time in suggesting resources for me. I was happy I had a chance to thank him for the work he did and applaud his honesty, competency, professionalism and compassion that was so important to me at that time. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and have found none better after all these years. Knowledge, detailed, professional and accessible. Little did I know.

Andrew was hired to file a property tax reduction appeal for one of our company's properties. Our company is headquartered in a different state from the property location so all communication was by email and phone. Andrew did a great job of explaining the process and what was going to happen when. He contacted all the individuals needed to testify at the hearing and made sure they were all prepared when the time came. In our opinion, Andrew was very organized, professional and it was a pleasure having him represent us in this matter. It was a job well done!

Drew was a tremendous help to us in our recent large business transaction. He was always available to communicate with and prompt in his responses. We are so grateful for his ongoing advice and legal counsel.

Drew Emmert's expert advice and guidance were essential to my survival of a confusing, expensive and nightmarish business issue. Drew was thorough and efficient in gathering facts, direct and specific in communicating with the opposition and dependable about keeping me informed of progress. Drew's empathic listening skills and validating style were tremendously helpful throughout the process, but especially at times when I was becoming discouraged. Drew's services were always professionally delivered, effective and worth every penny.
