Newsday Reports on Nassau
County Commercial Property Tax Challenges and Interviews
Partner John Terrana
Uniondale, May 17, 2010 – John Terrana was quoted
in Newsday in a series of articles addressing
the proposed legislative changes that would affect Nassau
County tax assessment and appeals process. “You can
attempt to get the assessment system right or you can try
to make changes that will deter people from filing,” said
John. He has been in the forefront of the opposition to
an assessment bill and interviewed about the current state
of commercial property tax challenges.
John V. Terrana joined
Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo, Cohn and Terrana
in 1993. As partner-in-charge
of the Firm’s Tax Certiorari Department, he has successfully
obtained millions of dollars in real estate tax refunds
and savings for clients, including national, regional and
local owners and tenants of all types of commercial and
residential property.
Mr. Terrana is a member of the New York
State, Nassau and Suffolk County Bar Associations and serves
on their Tax Certiorari, Real Property and Municipal Law
Committees. From
2001-2004, he served as Chairman of the Tax Certiorari
and Condemnation Law Committee of the Nassau County Bar
Association. During his tenure as Chairman, Nassau
County completely changed its tax assessment and review
process to what it is today. Mr. Terrana has published
numerous articles and lectures on tax certiorari issues. He
was selected for inclusion in the Long Island Business
News’ "40 Under 40" (1999), the Long
Island Business News’ listing of “Who’s
Who in Tax Certiorari Law” (2007) and New
York Magazine’s Super Lawyers (2009).
In 2009,
the Firm was ranked #1 in the Long Island Business News'
listing of real property certiorari law firms on Long Island.
