The law firm of Amari & Locallo has once again received high marks from their peers in the field of real estate tax reduction.

Partners Leonard Amari and John Locallo were voted the top real estate tax lawyers in Illinois in the 2022 edition of Super Lawyer magazine, and associate attorney Vincent Oppedisano was recognized as a “Rising Star” in the field.

Last year, Amari was ranked by Leading Lawyer magazine as the No. 3 lawyer in the state in the real estate tax field, and Locallo was ranked No. 9. Both Amari and Locallo were rated “The Midwest’s Top Lawyers” in their field in this year’s National Law Journal.

With offices in Chicago’s River North neighborhood in Cook County, and in Bloomingdale in DuPage County, Amari & Locallo concentrates exclusively in reducing real estate taxes on commercial, industrial and residential properties in Illinois.

John Locallo also supported CIAP as a panelist at our recent Real Estate Market Panel Discussion. Read his bio here!
