About Lynne
Lynne Shigo followed a steady academic path into tax law. She earned a B.A. from Randolph-Macon College in 1983, received her J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 1991, and completed an LL.M. in Taxation at the University of Florida in 1993. Those credentials frame a career that moves between detailed analysis and practical problem solving.
Her work is rooted in Florida. She is licensed to practice in the state and maintains offices in Gainesville and Ocala. Over the years she has practiced from those Northern Florida locations, advising a mix of individual and institutional clients. She also holds current professional memberships in relevant bar and tax organizations.
The LL.M. in Taxation is a defining element of her background. That advanced study provided deeper exposure to federal tax law, estate and gift tax issues, and other technical areas that frequently arise in private practice. Colleagues describe her as methodical; she approaches complex tax questions by breaking them into discrete parts and addressing each in turn. She has handled matters that require careful research, precise documentation, and steady attention to regulatory detail.
Her practice style balances academic training and local perspective. She draws on the rigors of tax study to explain options and consequences to clients who may not be steeped in legal or financial jargon. At the same time, working from Gainesville and Ocala gives her a sense of the practical constraints that affect businesses and families in the region. She is comfortable working on transactional matters, preparing filings, and advising clients about compliance and planning choices.
Outside of direct client work, she remains engaged with professional networks that track changes in tax law and practice. That engagement helps keep her practice aligned with current rules and procedural developments. She continues to serve clients from her Gainesville and Ocala offices and centers her practice on tax law and related matters.
