Richard Shapiro Attorney At Law

I received a text from your office that I would get an email with paper work that I could sign electronically this was on 11/26/2025. On 12/11/2025 I sent a text that I did not receive the paper work. I will give my business elsewhere.

I recently called this firm after receiving a property tax appeal solicitation, and the experience was far better than I expected. Tony, the paralegal I spoke with, generously walked me through the entire process and gave clear, detailed explanations that were more than enough for me to handle the appeal myself. I’m reasonably comfortable with computers and finances, which helps, but their fee structure is also straightforward and very reasonable, so I would have no hesitation in letting them take over the entire matter. Even if I end up managing my own property tax appeal, I will keep this firm in mind and gladly recommend them to friends and family. Thanks a lot, Tony!

These guys are the best at what they do. They’re very knowledgeable & willing to explain the process. I will recommend them to everyone, family , friends, etc. Special thanks to Tony for all your help.

We appeal every year and always successful. Easy process and great communication with staff if needed.

Attorney Shapiro helped me win my Cook County Tax Appeal. He is amazing!

You fill out a form and wait a few months. You save thousands of dollars a year and give Richard 1/3 of the first year. Everything is done for you except the final payment...which speaks to the honesty of the process. I am a very happy client and, as a lawyer myself, I will be telling everyone about Mr. Shapiro's services.

Mr. Shapiro has been helping us keep taxes down for almost 20 years, I shudder to think of what our bill would be now if we had not gotten his office involved!

There are many honest real estate attorneys in the Chicago land area and Shapiro is not one of them. My entire family used Shapiro and we will avoid going forward. In some cases, the assessments can naturally reduce (e.g. COVID time frame). However, his office will take credit in an effort to maximize his profitability. Extremely unethical. If you protest or ask for explanation / clarity, they will threaten legal action. I believe another review alluded to similar concerns.

I and my uncle have used Richard shapiro for years. However, it come to my attention that in the last 2 years their has not been service that equal fees he charges. My recommendation is not to use him. Furthermore, do your research and find out if he's actually really giving you a reduction in your taxes. Attorneys like him are falsifying documentation that is not legitimate to the city of Chicago publication of tax ID OF YOUR PROPERTY. warning:. Do your homework !

Saved me thousands $$$ on my property tax bill due to the vacant condition of my home. I could not have navigated this without their help. I also use them every Tri-Annual appeal year and they have always saved me something. Thank you to Richard and all who work on his team!!

This guy is my hero! I have been using him since the 1990’s and he has saved me lots of dollars. Sometime we win sometimes we don’t but in the long run it’s been worth it. Thanks to him and his staff!😃🎉🎉🎉💕

They have made the appeals process readily accessible to people who might not be able to navigate the technicalities of appealing an inaccurate assessment. I appreciate their help.

This comment is for Rosa regarding Marty who works there he was very helpful and knowledgeable I've been with Mr Shapiro's office regarding my tax appeals for over 6 years and I will continue with Mr Shapiro's office once again thank you Marty Michael d Ramirez Michael d Ramirez

Been using the Shapiro group for years. Extremely please with the results every time

I'm a relatively new client and haven't experienced a full cycle of appeal activity so can't comment on Richard Shapiro's success rates. But his firm rates highly so far in terms of communication and use of technology. Timothy Hohmann has been my main point of contact and he is excellent at keeping me informed and enabling signature forms using DocuSign. If this is any indication of the work and effort that take place behind the scenes, I am hopeful for promising results and a lower property tax bill.

I've been relying on Richard Shapiro to lower my real estate taxes year after year. He's done well for me! I highly recommend him. The service he provides is reliable, professional and I'm very pleased.

Helped get my property taxes back to normal.
