Carl Rashid, Jr.
Member

Carl Rashid is a leader among Michigan’s property tax lawyers. He has represented public and private interests in assessment appeals, valuation disputes, and tax and economic incentives involving industrial, office, medical and assisted living, and multitenant retail properties.
While Carl has contributed to some of the most significant economic development initiatives in Detroit and Southeast Michigan, such as securing for an automotive manufacturer what remains the largest economic tax incentive in state history, not all of his clients are Fortune 500 corporations. He also counsels small businesses, closely held companies, investors, and individuals in state and local real estate and personal property valuation disputes as well as condemnation and government affairs matters.
“ I assist clients in reducing their overhead without impacting their cash flow. It is a win-win situation for clients. ”
