About Charles E McWilliams
Charles E McWilliams Jr. is a shareholder at Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh, PC, where he handles a mix of tax, estate planning and business matters. He combines legal training and accounting credentials in work that often touches on both corporate structures and individual tax concerns.
He earned an LL.M. in Taxation from Georgetown University Law Center (2015). He previously received a J.D., concentrating in Estate Planning and Taxation, from George Mason University School of Law (2007). His academic background also includes a B.S. in Accounting from George Mason University (2004) and a B.A. in Political Science from Hampden‑Sydney College (2002).
McWilliams is admitted to practice in Virginia and West Virginia, and he is admitted to the U.S. Tax Court and to the District of Columbia bar. He is a Certified Public Accountant and maintains membership in professional accounting organizations, including the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
At Walsh Colucci, he works on matters that intersect tax law and business planning. He serves clients on issues such as income tax planning for individuals and entities, estate and gift tax considerations, and transactional tax aspects of business operations. His training in accounting informs the tax analysis he provides to clients and to colleagues inside the firm.
Outside the firm, McWilliams holds managerial roles in private companies. He has been a member/manager of Winchester Property Management, LLC since 2008 and has held a similar position with Commonwealth Credit Exchange, LLC since 2012. Those roles give him hands‑on exposure to the operational and compliance issues that businesses face.
He maintains an office presence across the firm’s regional locations, including Winchester, Loudoun, Prince William and Arlington. That geographic spread allows him to work with a range of businesses and individuals across northern Virginia and into neighboring jurisdictions.
Colleagues describe him as someone who brings both legal and accounting perspectives to client work. He writes and advises on technical tax issues in the course of practice rather than through academic publication. His work centers on advising clients about tax, estate planning and business matters, and he continues to practice in those areas at Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh, PC.
