Popp Hutcheson PLLC
Since 1983, Popp Hutcheson PLLC has devoted 100 percent of its practice to representing property owners for the purpose of reducing their property tax liability. Start to Finish Popp Hutcheson delivers “one stop shopping” to its clients, offering services from the administrative level to the trial and appellate levels — a unique business model in Texas. Few firms, if any, offer this bundled support. Traditionally in Texas, property owners have used tax consultants at the administrative level and separately employed attorneys at the trial level. Our clients inform us that the traditional approach is neither the most efficient process nor the best way to maximize results. One stop shopping for our clients limits the spending of unnecessary time and resources in selecting and educating multiple consultants and attorneys for the same property and valuation process. “Start to Finish” provides the client multiple added benefits, ensuring the lowest property tax liability possible: ■ Allows more comprehensive understanding of the client and property; ■ Attorney-client confidentiality requirements protect client information; ■ Eliminates potential competing agendas between separate consultants and attorneys; ■ Our lawyers and consultants understand and practice valuation – each prepares valuation reports and attends Appraisal Review Board hearings throughout Texas.
