About Beata
Beata McCann built a path to law that starts with numbers. She earned a B.S. in Accountancy from the University of Illinois — Urbana-Champaign (1992), followed by an M.S. in Taxation from DePaul University (1998) and a J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law (2005). The sequence of degrees left her comfortable at the intersection of law, tax and financial detail.
Her professional record over the past decade is varied. In 2015 she worked as a lawyer at Hallett McCann Law Group Ltd., a role that placed her in the day-to-day practice of law. In 2021 she served as special counsel at San Francisco Law Group, a position that exposed her to a different client mix and regional legal issues. In 2022 she became principal lawyer at McCann Law LLC, where she now leads a small practice.
Members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association list her as a member since 2015. That affiliation signals an engagement with immigration law and related policy developments. Combined with her tax training and accounting background, her perspective tends to consider both legal status questions and the financial or tax implications that can accompany them.
Colleagues describe her approach as analytical and exacting. She draws on accounting and taxation training to parse documents and evaluate financial records that arise in complex cases. Her file work emphasizes careful review of transactional histories, reporting issues and statutory requirements. She has worked on matters that require coordination across practice areas, bringing together tax, family and immigration considerations when cases demand it.
McCann practices in Illinois and maintains her law office in that jurisdiction. She has moved between roles in larger groups and smaller firms, and now runs her own firm. That trajectory has given her experience handling both individual client matters and aspects of firm administration.
Her current practice concentrates on immigration matters and issues that intersect with tax and financial reporting. She sees clients from a practical standpoint and manages cases that require attention to both legal status and monetary implications. She currently practices at McCann Law LLC, where she focuses on immigration and matters involving tax and financial issues.
