"After several members of my law firm recommended Laird Goldsborough and Shaner Appraisals, I contacted Laird to assist with the appraisal of a unique commercial building in Johnson County, Kansas. The county had overvalued the property for tax purposes, and my client asked me to appeal the valuation. Given the unique characteristics of the building, the matter required more analysis and appraisal expertise than is typical. Laird not only completed the appraisal to perfection, but also testified in the subsequent hearing at which the valuation was debated. Laird did an excellent job in presenting our case, and the end result is that my client saved tens of thousands of dollars in taxes. Laird was instrumental in this process."
