About Amari & Locallo

After serving as General Counsel for Cook County Assessor Thomas C. Hynes from 1983 to 1987, Leonard Amari teamed up with Joseph Locallo, Jr. to found the law firm of Amari & Locallo. Joseph had been serving as Chief of Revenue Litigation, Northern Division, at the Office of the Illinois Attorney General. The pair quickly grew their client base and expanded Amari & Locallo’s real estate tax assessment practice in Cook County, the surrounding collar counties, and ultimately across the United States.

Over the past 25 years Amari & Locallo has become one of the most successful and respected law firms in the real estate tax assessment field. We have saved our clients millions of dollars in real estate taxes by providing aggressive and highly competent representation, while maintaining a strong focus on client services. We handle a wide variety of real estate tax issues, including assessment reduction complaints, assessment reduction lawsuits, certificates of error, division/consolidation applications, personal property tax returns and audit defense, real estate tax exemptions, real estate tax incentives, and undervaluation complaints.
