They provide an agreement to grieve your property taxes for you...in the literature, it clearly and in bold states "You Pay NOTHING UNTIL AFTER WE WIN A REDUCTION" and "If we don't not win a reduction, you pay NOTHING"...but in the contract there is a paragraph saying that if you file a grievance a year prior to or after the date of the agreement, you owe them $350 (for doing nothing). If you don't pay, they sue you, or threaten to sue you over the $350 via a collection agent law firm. SHADY
Description of Work: They provided zero and charged $350

Description of Work: The effort was to apply for a tax grievance by May of 2014. The agreed to price was for 1/2 of the first year's tax savings. Other than an initial confirmation accepting the project, there were no follow on communications.

Description of Work: In Suffolk County NY, one can grieve taxes to lower them. One can hire a company to do this. We were selling our home in Suffolk County and used this company to try to lower our taxes. Usually, when a person buys the house, that person usually signs the contract, and the former home owner does not have to pay anything. The buyer did not. AFter a few weeks I called Mark Lewis, because my husband wanted off the contract. EAch timeI spoke to them,they were caring, supportive. Finally, after a number of weeks,we were told that we were being removed from that contract. We asked that we receive this information in writing We received such an email. Our worries were over. We would not have to pay the usual percentage for lowering our house taxes after we no longer owned the house and had moved away. Then 2 days ago, I received a call from on Wendy Roy, of Mark Lewis Company telling me that the buyer had finally signed the contract in our place.. She didn't have to call, but did so because she knew I was worried.
