About Us

Susan Crowley and Tony (Robert) Marsico, partners at Crowley & Marsico, LLC focus exclusively on ad valorem real estate taxation issues.

 
At the onset of their legal careers, both were Assistant State’s Attorneys representing Cook County’s various government agencies relating to real estate tax issues.  The real estate tax agencies included representing and defending the Cook County Board of Review, Cook County Assessor as well as the Cook County Treasurer.  With over 50 years of combined experience interacting and representing various governmental agencies throughout a majority of the 102 counties across the state of Illinois, they bring tremendous value and insight to your analysis and appeal work.  

Together, they have represented a myriad of properties including, but not limited to, commercial office & retail; industrial distribution facilities & warehouses; multi-family residential; assisted living & nursing homes; life science and biotech portfolios; commercial and residential condominium associations; hotel portfolios; planned unit developments; cell towers and communication providers as well as residential properties.  They also represent a large number of unique properties within the Central Business District in the city of Chicago.  The common objective for all clients is to minimize the real estate tax impact on their property.

Crowley and Marsico, LLC are strong, formidable advocates in both Overvaluation appeals and Undervaluation appeals at every level in the appeal process. Their veteran team focuses on the unique aspects of each individual client. They maintain the common objective of meeting the clients' needs, and surpassing the clients' expectations.

From underwriting to tax estimates, institutional clients utilize their services throughout Illinois for financing purposes, pre-transaction, pre-construction, throughout ownership and disposition.  They have also worked closely with educational institutions securing real estate tax exemptions and valuation relief.  In many arenas, their work has extended beyond market valuation appeals to securing full and partial exemptions and securing a variety of incentive designations. 

Crowley & Marsico partners with their clients and advocates for their clients.  They not only provide legal services, but also educate their clients and remove the uncertainty behind a very complex area of law. They take great pride in their experience, integrity and desire to evolve to meet the needs of clients in a dynamic real estate market.  At Crowley and Marsico, clients are the most important part of the business, as reflected by their actions.  Susan, Tony and their seasoned, driven team are committed to working tirelessly to provide their clients with the highest level of service to attain the fairest and best results.
