Michael helped me lower my property tax assessment nearly 30%. From the get-go, that was the target that he had in mind, and he made it look easy. Communication was straightforward, and he answered all the questions that I had about the process.

Michael Werner did an excellent job pursuing a property tax appeal on my behalf on a contingency basis. He was able to secure a 30% reduction in the assessed value based on the purchase price with a minimal level of additional effort required on my part. Would definitely recommend his services for anyone pursuing a similar appeal.

Michael Werner, was referred to us by another Close attorney friend to handle our assessment appeal and our new location. Michael not only expedited but you’re an extremely positive outcome on our behalf. His attention to detail and how long of communication gave us no question that we had retained the correct attorney. He’s resourceful Friendly ,competent and maintains a high level of communication. We couldn’t recommend him any more highly

Above and beyond my expectations. He hit the mark at every turn and I never felt better a

Attorney Werner , did what he said he would do. I felt he was very experienced in the tax assessment process for Allegheny county. Never left you guessing , patiently explained and answered all questions and most important ( RETURNED PHONE CALLS ). The fee was adequate and there was no surprises ( up charge ) in the total fee owed. I will again definitely hire this attorney in the future.

I endorse this lawyer with complete sincerity. Not only as a fellow attorney, but as a client. Michael recently handled a property assessment appeal for my family. He was professional, affordable and tremendously qualified. He and his team made the process SO easy. I basically didn't need to do anything except trust that Michael was handling everything. Not only did we receive a favorable decision, but our assessment was lowered by considerably more than we had even hoped for. I would recommend Michael to my friends and family and I continually recommend him to my clients who have legal needs in the areas that I do not practice. He is a competent and trustworthy attorney, as well as a really nice guy.

The lawyer did a very good job on a appeal for property taxes on a home that I own saved me a lot of money.

I purchased a property that’s value was far below the county’s assessment for property taxes. Mr. Werner's firm contacted me by mail to offer their services within a few months of the purchase. I simply filled out a form and Mr. Werner took care of the rest. He got the county’s assessment reduced by more than 2/3 of the original amount. I didn’t have to lift a finger, make a phone call or appear in court. He handled everything. And I think the terms of service were very fair, I merely had to pay a percentage of the money that he saved me. He was responsive, professional and I recommend his services to anyone who’s asking.

We contacted Micheal to assist with an assessment appeal after a recent real estate transaction. His advice and knowledge of the process was spot on. We didn’t get everything we wanted, but neither did the local school district. His educated guess at where we would end up was within $20 dollars. We saved more in annual savings than his representation fee.

Michael returned my call promptly, listened to my needs, and gave me great advice related to my landlord-tenant issue. I will definitely use him again if my issue escalates

Michael did an outstanding job in reducing our property assessment. He was very knowledgeable, sincere, and expertly explained the process. He was able to explain why he believed he would be successful for our respective property.

The interaction with Michael went well. I have no complaints except for the difficulty of answering this survey.
