A Message from Our Managing Attorney

On behalf of our team at DeWitt Tax Law, welcome to our website! I hope you find the content on our site helpful. I have come to realize over the years that much of the stress from facing tax issues is caused by the sheer power our government possesses to assess and collect taxes, further compounded by the complexity of our tax code.

We begin all cases with diligent research and investigation to ensure we advise you of your rights and all available options.
