About Michael C
Michael C Dallo built a career at the intersection of law and accounting. He earned an LL.M. in Tax Law from New York University in 2012 after receiving his J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2011. He also holds both a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy from the University of San Diego, credentials that inform his practical approach to tax matters.
His academic path is matched by professional credentials. Dallo is a California-licensed attorney and a Certified Public Accountant licensed by the California Board of Accountancy. The State Bar of California has recognized him as a California Tax Law Specialist, a designation that reflects additional testing and experience in tax law rather than a description of outcomes or reputation.
Early in his career he combined accounting work and legal practice, a dual perspective that shaped how he advises clients. That background helps when the task is interpreting complex tax rules or explaining numeric details to judges, clients, and other advisors. He has handled tax planning for businesses and individuals, prepared and reviewed tax filings, and represented clients in administrative tax matters. He also counsels on compliance issues that overlap accounting and legal obligations.
Colleagues describe Dallo as methodical. He favors careful analysis over grand gestures. He breaks down problems into clear steps and prioritizes documentation. That approach suits disputes with tax authorities and intricate planning projects alike. He drafts technical memoranda, negotiates with revenue officials, and prepares positions grounded in statutory language and precedent.
Dallo practices through Dallo Law Group. The firm’s work reflects his dual qualifications; clients include small and midsize enterprises as well as individual taxpayers. He handles matters that require both legal reasoning and financial literacy. In client meetings he often moves quickly from legal concept to practical ramifications for cash flow and reporting.
Outside of client files he has remained current on tax developments through continuing education required by both the bar and the accountancy board. He has also kept an eye on how changes in federal and state tax law affect planning and compliance choices for California taxpayers.
He maintains an active California practice at Dallo Law Group, where his work centers on tax law for individuals and businesses.
