Partner Brian Summerfield litigates property tax matters in the Michigan Tax Tribunal, helping clients navigate Tax Tribunal rules and requirements and pressing their claims for a fair assessment.

Schenk & Bruetsch does not charge a fee on tax appeal matters unless and until we achieve a reduction in your taxes. Our fees are paid on a percentage of your savings for only the tax years at issue. Typically, one to two tax years are at issue in a case, but your tax savings can extend a decade or more. You are responsible for the out-of-pocket costs of the case, like filing fees and appraisals.
