Midland Partner Brandy Manning to Speak at the Institute for Professionals in Taxation's 2015 Annual Conference

MIDLAND, Texas, June 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Brandy Manning, a partner in Burleson's Midland location, will present "Property Tax: Making Your Case for Litigation" at the Institute for Professionals in Taxation's 2015 Annual Conference.  The three-day event will be held in San Diego, California, from June 28 through July 1.

Manning's session will offer strategies for building a case for lower tax valuations, including expanding the bases for protest, preserving the right to protest, protecting the taxpayer's position by constructing an advantageous record, and applying operable facts and laws to generate favorable outcomes.  

"Successfully challenging property tax valuations is a deadline-driven, multi-step process, filled with tricks and traps that can derail an uninformed taxpayer," explained Manning.  "My goal is to provide attendees with the tools and knowledge they need to control the development and documentation of facts against a broader set of rules and laws, and to put themselves in the best position to achieve a reduction in valuation."   

Manning is one of only 20 attorneys in Texas, and the only lawyer practicing in West Texas, to be included among Texas Lawyer's current list of "Winning Women."  She has represented oil and gas taxpayers, among others, in ad valorem tax disputes across the state before Appraisal Review Boards, in trial courts, in intermediate courts of appeal, and before the Texas Supreme Court. 

In addition, Manning routinely counsels and represents clients in oil and gas matters as well as general business disputes.  She has extensive litigation and appellate experience. 

The 2015 Annual Conference is designed to provide attendees with a forum to discuss and debate issues and emerging trends critical to the tax sector.  For more information on the event, including how to register, click here.
