About Greg J
Greg J Carlson brings formal training in accounting to his work in law. He trained first as an accountant, then went on to law school. That background shapes the way he approaches legal problems that touch on numbers, compliance and business structure.
Carlson earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Brigham Young University in 2004. He stayed at BYU to complete a Master of Accountancy in Taxation in 2005. After several years in the accounting world he turned to law and received his J.D. from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco in 2008.
He is admitted to practice in both California and Nevada and holds current memberships in the State Bar of California and the State Bar of Nevada. Those dual admissions allow him to represent individuals and businesses with cross-border concerns in the two neighboring states. His grounding in tax and accounting gives him a particular comfort handling matters that require technical financial analysis as well as legal strategy.
Over the course of his career Carlson has worked on matters where legal outcomes depend on accurate financial records and careful interpretation of tax rules. He approaches cases by first focusing on the numbers, then translating those findings into legal positions. That sequence—accounting first, law second—can clarify disputed facts and streamline negotiations or litigation.
At Lee Kiefer & Park he practices as an attorney serving clients who need both tax and business law counsel. He assists businesses, tax professionals and individuals on issues where accounting detail and legal doctrine intersect. He also advises on document preparation, compliance reviews and responses to administrative inquiries.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in reviewing records and practical in explaining complex financial issues to non-accountants. Clients who face regulatory questions or tax controversies often seek counsel that can read financial statements and explain their legal significance. Carlson’s combined training enables him to do that work without needing to defer immediately to outside accounting experts.
Outside the office he maintains ties to professional communities in both states and stays current on developments in tax law and accounting practice. He practices law at Lee Kiefer & Park and handles matters that require both legal analysis and accounting insight.
