My story begins with the meeting of a  plumber and  a   secretary at a doctor's office -- my father and mother.  All they ever wanted me to do was to become a Lawyer.  So, here I am.  I was born to Hugh and Vernell Wyeth on April 27, 1959 at the old Copley Hospital in Aurora, Illinois.. After attending West Aurora High School (Classs of 1977), and the University of Illinois (Class of 1981 -- Accounting), I moved back to my parent's home and commuted via the Burlington Northern to the John Marshall Law School in Chicago.  I also passed the CPA Exam during my second year of Law School -- that was busy fall.  My course selection was heavy on estate planning an business courses with my intention -- from the very beginning, 33 years ago -- of counseling people about their estates and businesses.. I still do today.. One of the biggest changes that I have found is the ability to counsel people "at a distance" because of the internet.  I enjoy using email and the web to be available to clients regardless of where they live in Illinois.

40 Shuman Blvd Ste 320 , Naperville , Illinois 60563

Practice Areas: Tax

I started my carrer as a broker, investment advisor during my career I ended up doing a lot tax work form my clients.  I became interested in tax law because tax issues touched every aspect of my client's lives.. I felt I could help my clients more if I became a tax attorney.  I quit my full time job and enrolled on law school.. As I was helping tax clients in my law practice, I realized that in addition to tax problems my clients often had problems with debt.  I started to do bankruptcies now my practice is evenly split between resolving tax issues and helping clients through bankruptcy.. I have found that there is great synergy between bankruptcy law and tax law.  Bankruptcy law allows a taxpayers to resolve their tax issues on better terms that the taxpayer would get outside of bankruptcy.. Bankruptcy in certain instances will allow a taxpayer to discharge penalties or pay back unsecured tax debt for "pennies on the dollar.". I do not consider my practice to be solely bankruptcy or solely tax law but a practice utilizing bankruptcy law and tax law to help individuals and businesses resolve their financial problems.
