About Chelsea M.
Chelsea M. Rebeck combines legal training and accounting credentials in a practice that sits at the intersection of tax, finance and litigation. She built a layered academic foundation before moving into private practice. Her education includes a Master of Laws in Tax (LL.M., 2013) and a Juris Doctor (J.D., 2012), both from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting from Baker College (2007).
Those degrees set a clear path. The LL.M. deepened her knowledge of federal tax rules and policy. The accounting degree preceded licensure as a Certified Public Accountant in Michigan in 2014. That combination of law and accounting informs how she approaches client matters.
Rebeck works as a partner and lawyer at Rebeck & Allen. In that role she handles matters that require both legal judgment and numerical analysis. Colleagues say she brings a methodical approach to cases that involve complex documents and layered financial records. Her background in accounting helps when cases hinge on interpretation of financial statements or tax returns.
She earned the Certified Fraud Examiner credential in 2015. The CFE credential reflects training in fraud prevention, detection and investigation. Paired with the CPA license, it gives her a technical toolkit for cases involving alleged financial misconduct, internal investigations and contested tax positions.
Her practice spans tax controversy, financial investigations and related litigation. She represents individuals and businesses in disputes with tax authorities and in matters where alleged fraud or accounting irregularities are central issues. She also consults on transactional matters that benefit from careful tax planning and accurate financial reporting.
Rebeck is licensed in Michigan and is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. Those admissions allow her to handle matters in state and federal forums and to pursue appeals when necessary. Her courtroom work reflects an attention to evidentiary detail and a readiness to explain complicated financial concepts to judges and juries.
She balances courtroom and advisory work, drawing on technical training to assess risk and shape strategy. Clients receive legal advice informed by accounting principles and investigative techniques. She currently practices at Rebeck & Allen, where she focuses on tax controversies, financial investigations and related litigation.
