Levy Craig Law Firm, A Professional Corporation

• Attorney

  • Nov 2020 - Present

  Levy Craig offers our clients big-firm service with small-firm responsiveness. I understand the value of this individualized approach thanks to my experience working at the country’s largest tax-preparation firm helping thousands of individual and small business taxpayers on even the smallest tax issues. At Levy Craig, I take a hands-on approach to building relationships with clients and working on every detail of the business, real estate, and tax issues they’re facing. Whether I’m working with experienced real estate developers, new commercial landlords, industrial lessors looking to sell or acquire new properties, or clients with other needs, my commitment is to clear communication, painstaking attention to detail, and collaborative efforts to reach your goals. Every detail matters, as does your tolerance for risk. I take the time to research the options for getting to your goal, and I use my experience as an educator to make those options easy to understand, no matter how complex the circumstances. I enjoy finding opportunities to be creative in using my background in tax and real estate law to structure advantageous deals for my clients. dwallace@levycraig.com I enjoy finding opportunities to be creative in using my background in tax and real estate law to structure advantageous deals for my clients.

  During my time at H&R Block, I mentored and coached Tax Research Analysts as well as provided tax law research and support for H&R Block’s network of 10,000 retail tax offices. I also redesigned and managed our entire tax research team's training of incoming associates with a focus on instructional design and action-based learning principles to better engage and elevate the team’s tax theory knowledge. During the tax season, I maintained a robust mentoring program to enable our team of tax researchers to become experts in different tax areas including taxation of business entities, estates and trusts, retirement accounts, and property transactions. In addition to heading the training project, I also managed The Tax Institute's Ask a Tax Expert live chat team of research associates giving instant tax advice on all tax topic areas to our tax professionals in the field.
