Breann is a creative and practical problem-solver. She is smart, sharp, articulate and quick to spot issues and problems. Breann is one of the strongest attorneys I have had the pleasure to work with during my career.

She is Pillsbury's Global Real Estate & Construction Industry Deputy Leader, a leading member of Pillsbury’s Attorneys of Color Committee, a member of Planning Committee for the Wichita Property Tax Conference, and a 2021-2022 board member of the California Alliance of Taxpayer Advocates.

She has managed and resolved property tax appeals in nearly all of California’s 58 counties. She has substantial experience with respect to property tax assessments on real property (e.g., broadcast centers, clean rooms, data centers, oil and gas properties, office buildings and complexes, possessory interests, renewable energy properties, research and development facilities, warehouses), as well as personal property (e.g., computer and technology equipment, leased equipment, manufacturing equipment, network equipment, specialized fixtures), covering a broad array of issues such as changes in ownership, proper valuation methodology, double taxation, intangibles, embedded software, solar and other new construction exclusions, welfare and college exemptions, business inventory, unit valuations, and value-related issues of all kinds impacting the comparable sales, income, and cost approaches to value.
