Sleggs, Danzinger and Gill: The Property Tax Experts

Sleggs, Danzinger and Gill Co., LPA (SDG) is a premier law firm based in Cleveland, Ohio, with a distinct and powerful niche: real property tax litigation. Founded in 1992, the firm has established itself as a national leader in this field, representing taxpayers in all 88 counties of Ohio and across the United States. The partners, Todd Sleggs, Robert "Kip" Danzinger, and Steven Gill, bring together decades of specialized experience, including backgrounds in major international accounting firms and large law practices.

Maximizing Returns through Tax Reduction

The firm’s primary mission is simple: to ensure that clients pay the lowest possible state and local property taxes. They understand that property taxes are a significant operating expense for any real estate owner, and unfair assessments can erode profitability.

• Valuation Complaints: Challenging the taxable value of properties before County Boards of Revision and the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals.
• Complex Property Types: The firm handles a diverse portfolio including industrial facilities, hotels, casinos, marinas, shopping centers, and office buildings.
• National Representation: Through the National Property Tax Group, SDG serves as the sole Ohio representative, allowing them to coordinate tax appeals for clients with multi-state portfolios.
• Construction and Development: Advising developers on the tax implications of new projects and renovations to prevent future sticker shock.

Unmatched Experience

SDG’s attorneys are not just litigators; they are thought leaders in tax law. Partner Steven Gill, for instance, formerly served as a National Director of Property Tax Services for Ernst & Young. This high-level expertise allows the firm to navigate the constantly changing landscape of Ohio tax legislation, such as the recent H.B. 126 reforms. They are renowned for their ethical standards and have earned the AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell.

"We make it our business to ensure that our clients pay the lowest possible state and local property taxes-and nothing more."
