About
Us
Flanagan | Bilton LLC is a
firm of experienced attorneys and tax consultants who have
represented clients on property tax matters for 40 years.
Unlike tax consulting firms, we provide services that offer tax
consulting opinions as well as expert legal advice in matters
strictly related to property taxes. Prior to entering private
practice, our founding partners accumulated 25 years of state and
local government service - focusing on tax matters, property
valuations and litigation at both the trial and appellate
level.
Based in
Chicago, our exceptional national practice serves more than 1,000
clients in approximately 30 states, including a wide-range of real
estate investment trusts (REIT’s), banks, insurance companies and
pension funds.
