Office Building Case
An office building was back-assessed for prior years, creating multiple delinquencies, penalties, and interest. The original appeal was dismissed after being filed under the wrong provision. Michael pursued a subsequent appeal using an alternative remedy. The appraisal district acknowledged duplicate assessment and corrected the records, eliminating all back taxes.

What Clients Are Saying
Verified feedback from Texas property owners shared on Google Reviews.
Michael reduced the value of my home by nearly $35K. He came highly recommended by other attorneys and now I see why. I highly recommend him. He handled the process from start to finish which made it very easy! I'll be using him in the future
OSCAR B.
After getting zero results in 2019 from a big-box property tax protesting service, I hired Michael to dispute our 2020 property taxes. From the get-go, Michael was knowledgeable and responsive and an absolute professional. The process was extremely easy on my end, and the result was beyond outstanding. My property taxes were lowered significantly, and I only wish I had hired him last year when my results were unsatisfactory. In lieu of responding to one of the 25 big-box mailers you receive each spring, I highly recommend using Michael if you want personal attention to detail and subsequent fantastic results. I couldn’t be more pleased, and I have no doubt that you will feel the same way.

Mr. Saegert should be every Texas Property Taxpayers one and only contact. He offered his expertise and explained options I had, without any hesitation. I believe he can help other Texans who have questions and issues with the Texas property tax process. He understands the Texas property tax process and fights for a fair outcome.
SONNY C.
I found Michael thru Google search. Called him for preliminary consultation regarding a property appraisal. He took the time to understand the history and the outcomes I am looking to accomplish. He clarified how the process works - cost vs. benefit. He gave me some pointers on how to move forward. I appreciate his unbiased advice and insights into the cost vs. benefits - which gave me clarity and direction for self-serving in case I wanted to further pursue the issue. Recommend reaching out to Michael if you are looking to find legal help for your property.
VINAY K.
Michael is a zero nonsense, straight to the point attorney. Unlike other attorneys who charge money to even breathe in their office, Michael was happy to get on a call, understand the relevant issue and offer practical solutions. Would certainly consider Michael for future work.
AGRIM J.
I tell you folks, Michael was able to lower my yearly property taxes from $15k to $9k. A big help, thank you!
JOHN T.
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Called about disputing our property taxes. Within 30 mins I was given every resource needed to contact/dispute our taxes. Thank you.
ASHLEY T.
Mike was able to resolve in 24 hours what my prior attorney could not get answers to. They are both property tax lawyers but Mike's experience and focus on property tax made a huge difference!
