Legal Experience
- Attorneys Joseph Meusey and Michael Schleich successfully argued a property tax valuation protest on behalf of taxpayer Mutual of Omaha ("Mutual") before the Nebraska Tax Equalization and Review Commission ("TERC") in January 2002. Mutual is the owner of record of 15 parcels of commercial improved real property located in Omaha, Nebraska. The Douglas County Assessor proposed valuing the 15 subject properties in the amount of $89,525,300 for purposes of taxation as of January 1, 2000. Mutual protested the proposed valuations and requested that the properties be valued in the amount of $50,000,000. The TERC Board found that the actual or fair market value of the subject property as of the assessment date was $50,000,000.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
