In Illinois, foreclosures are judicial, requiring the lender to file a case with the court. Barrett, Twomey, Broom, Hughes & Hoke, LLP specializes in creditor foreclosures and ensures your filing is airtight by meticulously managing the foreclosure process.
Mechanics' Liens
During real estate projects, financial priorities can sometimes be overlooked. If you are a contractor who hasn’t been paid or provided materials, you can file a mechanics’ lien against the property. Conversely, if you are a property owner who believes a mechanics’ lien against your property is unfounded, consult Barrett, Twomey, Broom, Hughes & Hoke, LLP to review your case.
Property Tax Appeals
Property owners sometimes pay higher than necessary property taxes due to inaccurate assessments, which can result from changes in the property’s fair market value or errors in assessment records. Illinois law governs real estate tax assessments, and each county has its own rules and procedures for filing property tax appeals. Because the appeals process varies by county and has strict deadlines, it is crucial to understand the specific county's rules where your property is located. Property tax appeals demand meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to gathering the best possible information about the property and comparable properties. To save time, frustration, and money, it is advisable to seek the expertise of an experienced attorney before starting a property tax appeal.
