David S. Martin is a partner in the firm’s Property Tax Group. Having commenced his career in the Property Tax Unit of the Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney’s office, he has devoted his entire career to all aspects of state and local property tax. David’s representative client base ranges from Fortune 500 companies to class plaintiffs in taxpayer class actions. His significant representations include being lead trial and appellate court attorney for City of Chicago taxpayers, which resulted in the largest property tax judgment in Illinois history. Another of David’s significant representations was a Fortune 500 company with regard to an ad valorem property tax appeal. This representation resulted in the first Illinois bench trial verdict in favor of a taxpayer where the property tax assessment was found by the court to be clearly and convincingly incorrect.
