What I was told is the online protest is always good for a 5% or so reduction, but if you want it lowered more, you need to go in person. Get a real estate agent to get you comps in your area.

Edit: online protest does not eliminate the opportunity for in-person protest.

He shouldn't need an agent for comps. Texas was a forerunner in making this info public and web-accessible(thanks Gov. Bush). He should print out as many records from here as he needs. Very easy to see increases from year-to-year.
But if they did this to everyone around you, Go for the 5%.
