Combining Myles Hoffert's experience as an accountant with Price Waterhouse & Company and as an attorney in a 24-member law firm, he assembled a team of qualified attorneys and tax consultants that has grown Hoffert & Associates to a law firm of national renown, with over 81 collective years of property tax experience.

HOFFERT & ASSOCIATES DOES MORE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX APPEALS THAN ANY OTHER LAW FIRM. February 20 of last year, the firm came to the aid of Knollwood Country Club when Hoffert won a significant victory before the Michigan Tax Tribunal in a four-day trial. Hoffert reduced the club's property taxes dating back 11 years saving Knollwood a substantial amount of money; Hoffert also won a Supreme Court decision that struck down a statute defining the Proposal "A" cap on property taxes. Most recently, they won a major property tax appeal for The Links of Novi when the golf course turned residential. Always ready to impart information, Hoffert holds many free seminars and frequently speaks on Property Tax issues. The firm has employed three former Tribunal Judges including a Chief Judge. "We work on contingent fees so we don't get paid unless we're successful," said Hoffert. DO YOU REALLY WANT YOUR PROPERTY INFORMATION PASSED ON TO MUNICIPALITIES WHERE SOMEDAY YOU MIGHT BE MOVING?
