About David J
David J Wilson bridges two fields that rarely meet on the same résumé: computer science and tax law. He trained first as a technologist and later as an attorney. That combination has shaped a career that moves between complex technical detail and dense tax rules.
He began his academic path at Brigham Young University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in 1999. He returned to law school at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and received his J.D. in 2004. Early in his legal career he served as a law clerk to the Honorable Daniel Barker at the Arizona Court of Appeals in 2007. After the clerkship he pursued graduate study in taxation and completed an LL.M. in Taxation at New York University School of Law in 2008.
Following his LL.M., Wilson moved into private practice. He joined Mahoney Law Office as an associate in 2009. Two years later he took an associate position at Ahrens Deangeli Law Group in 2011. Those roles exposed him to client-facing work and the practical side of advising on transactional and tax-related issues. Colleagues describe him as steady and exacting on matters that require careful legal research and attention to numeric detail.
Wilson has maintained an active presence in Arizona’s legal community. He became a member of the Arizona State Bar in 2009 and has been listed with the Maricopa County Bar Association since 2010. Those memberships have put him in professional circles where tax practice and business law intersect, and they reflect a practice based in Arizona courts and administrative processes.
He still draws on his technical training when cases involve software, data, or complex calculations. That background can make it easier to parse the technical exhibits that sometimes accompany tax disputes and transactional filings. He has balanced litigation support, client counseling, and transactional work across his career.
Today he practices in Arizona and concentrates on tax and related business matters.
