Nick formed the Law Offices of Nicholas A. Furia, PLLC in 2009. The firm is exclusively devoted to commercial property tax appeals. Nick’s balance of aggressiveness and negotiation skills has earned him a reputation among assessment jurisdictions and opposing counsel as a property tax lawyer who is ready and willing to litigate issues in court, but also willing to advise settlement when it is in the best interest of his client.
Nick has filed thousands of property tax appeals and negotiated substantial reductions in the assessed values of dozens of types of property over the years, resulting in millions of dollars in tax savings each year.
For nine consecutive years, from 2010 to 2018, Nick was recognized by Mpls St. Paul magazine, Twin Cities Business magazine and SuperLawyers.com as a Rising Star. The Super Lawyers-Rising Stars list represents the top Minnesota attorneys age 40 and younger.
Nick serves as a Regional Editor of the ABA Property Tax Deskbook, and frequently lectures on the topics of property taxes, real property valuation, and persuasive writing to audiences of appraisers, attorneys, real estate brokers, property managers, and corporate tax professionals.
