Chuck helped me greatly with expert zoning and real estate tax advice He is a very knowledgeable in the area, very friendly and explains complex issues with clarity . Chuck is a good attorney ......I recommend him highly

Chuck and his team at Bluestone law group are very professional, effictive and efficient. They have successfully helped our company contest tax appeals filed by two separate school boards for two separate properties. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

My business partners and I were wrongly assessed on one of our properties by over 22%. Charles' firm was fast to action with our appeal and helped us along the entire way; collecting proper documents, providing advice/insight, and anything else that would help us in our case. Any questions along the way, he and his team were eager to answer; making the process so much easier than we ever imagined. After a quick turn around and submission, we won our appeal case with Charles. This 22% reduction in property taxes was a BIG win and couldn't have been done without Charles' help. We highly recommend working with him.

When my property tax exploded higher, for motives I did not fully agree with, I turned to Chuck. I never met such an efficient lawyer. Every communication, whether with him or (usually) with his staff had a point. I never had to repeat myself. They never lost anything, never misunderstood anything. His practice has helped me save thousands (or is it already a five figure amount?) on property taxes, just with expertise and efficiency. It's like the proverbial plumber who knows how to solve the problem with one gentle tap in the right place. Plus, everyone in the practice is a pleasure to deal with. Nobody wants a reason to contact a lawyer, but if you find yourself in need of one, Chuck would be my first call.

I don't normally write reviews but I feel compelled to write one for a person that goes above and beyond to protect the interest of their clients. Most attorneys have a bad reputation because they are in it just for the money. When I purchased my car wash in Columbus OH, the tax assessment should have been based on the purchase price which would have effectively tripled my property tax bill on a yearly basis. After several calls to business acquaintances and after speaking to several attorneys, I chose to put my trust into Charles Bluestone of Bluestone Law Group. Mr. Bluestone was 100% honest and transparent. He did everything that he could to resolve my case. I could not be more pleased with the services that was provided by Mr. Bluestone and his staff. It is not very often these days that you meet people that want to solve problems for their clients with the eagerness and integrity of Bluestone Law Group. I wish that everybody conducted their business in the way that Chuck Bluestone does. It is my pleasure to leave this review because I know that ultimately, I am helping others to find somebody to help them to get positive results without feeling taken advantage of, but protected. As a Christian, I know that God rewards those who do business in the manner of helping people first and foremost.

After the death of my husband, I needed to change the title on a property in Ohio. I contacted Mr. Bluestone and he was so very kind and empathetic to my situation. He was also so professional and persistent in getting the documents he needed from my attorney in California, always keeping me informed. Mr. Bluestone has integrity, professionalism, great communication skills and kindness. If I need attorney services again, Mr. Bluestone will be my first choice.

Bluestone Law Group handled our case quickly and efficiently and saved us even more money than they originally stated. They are very knowledgeable of the tax laws in Ohio and were able to explain each step of the process to us, which also gave us peace of mind, and a seamless conclusion to our case. We Thank You Charles and all of Bluestone!

Mr. Charles did an amazing job. Will use his services again. God bless you and your family!

In 2017 my wife and I were hit with a large increase in the appraised value of a house that we owned in Westerville, OH which we were renting to friends.  The county's appraisal was more than 50% higher than offers we had received for the house.  We contested the county's valuation and submitted an appraisal by a firm we had used before.  Just before the hearing, we were told that the school board was opposing our motion, and that it would be represented by a lawyer at the hearing.  We selected Charles Bluestone, who was recommended by an accountant we knew.  Mr. Bluestone managed the hearing in such a way that the board granted our petition (we were not there, since we live far from Ohio).  When the school board appealed the decision, Mr. Bluestone recommended a different appraiser, whom we used.  Mr. Bluestone also suggested that if we were able to contact the school board ourselves directly, we might succeed in getting them to tell their law firm to drop the appeal, since it appeared to be a waste of the school board's money.  This I was able to do, fortunately, and the matter came to an end.  The result was a reduction of our taxes, even below what they had been in previous years, so that we came out ahead.  Moreover, in the following triennial, the county kept the appraisal number that was reached through the litigation, so we are saving a substantial amount in taxes during this triennial.  I thought Mr. Bluestone managed the matter with skill.  I liked the result very much. And I would recommend him to anyone who needs to contest the valuation of their property.  

Charles is professional and knowledgable. I had an exceptional experience with his staff and during our conversation. He provided recommendations that were in my best interest.

I've worked with Charles Bluestone for about 10 years on a variety of issues related to property taxes, mineral rights, and property heirships. His firm has exceeded in every regard, easy to work with, excellent customer service, and great outcomes. Highly recommended!

Charles was the consummate professional throughout the duration of my case, which was a complaint against the tax valuation of my real estate property. He was able to negotiate and reach a settlement that ultimately saved me thousands of dollars. Additionally, he was responsive, easily reachable, and provided clear communication with each interaction. He also provided last minute services of reviewing a real estate selling contract within 2 hours when I was in a pinch for time, and in doing so caught some critical points that were ultimately changed and helped to provide me with additional legal protection. If you're in the Columbus, OH area and in need of a trustworthy, realistic, effective, and experienced attorney to manage your real estate legal matters I would highly recommend Charles and his firm.
