Welcome to the LI Law Podcast. We feature legal issues and developments which affect Long Island residents and business owners. The podcast focuses on Long Island law topics and includes greater New York court and legislative happenings. If you are one of the approximate 8 million residents of Long Island (Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, and Kings counties), or want to enjoy all law-related matters on Long Island, this podcast is for you!
Our guest on this 32nd episode is Michael P. Reynolds, Esq., a tax certiorari attorney. Mike Reynolds has worked both as a Deputy County Attorney and as a petitioner’s attorney in the field of tax certiorari. He is a former prosecutor and the current President of the Society of Professional Investigators.
In his public appearances, Mr. Reynolds discusses the numbers behind your tax bill, what the County is looking at in determining fair market value, and what it isn’t. The approach to assessments varies from New York City to Montauk. This makes for an interesting collection of challenges and solutions for property owners.
EVERY taxpayer needs to know what goes into a tax bill and nearly EVERY taxpayer should be protesting, EVERY year. This year’s deadline to file a tax grievance is March 2, 2020 in NYC and Nassau County, but Mike recommends giving yourself a Valentine’s Day gift and filing in February.

Our guest on this 29th episode is David W. Teeter, Esq., a matrimonial and family attorney for 18 years admitted to the New York and California Bar. David concentrates his practice on the following matters: divorce, child custody and support, maintenance and alimony, and pre-nuptial agreements. David began his legal career practicing criminal defense, first at the San Diego Public Defender’s office and then at the Nassau County Legal Aid Society, Criminal Defense Division.
When David transitioned to private practice, he gravitated toward matrimonial law because he found the work more rewarding. Yes, people going through a divorce are emotional, and David enjoyed helping his clients solve their problems. David sees matrimonial practice as putting the pieces of the puzzle together so that clients may build their new life. When people first come to meet with David, they are at a very low point. While it might get worse before it gets better, it will get better. Not every problem is easy, not every problem is solved quickly. But most cases settle, and David works very hard to find a solution that works well for his clients.
