About Tyler
Tyler DeWitt trained and worked in accounting before turning his attention to law. He earned a B.B.A. in Accounting from the University of Memphis, followed by an M.S. in Accounting in 2012. He then completed an MBA in Business Law at the same university and finished his legal studies at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law.
Early in his professional life DeWitt combined the technical demands of accounting with legal analysis. He holds certification as a Certified Public Accountant from the Tennessee Board of Accountancy. That credential informs how he approaches tax issues and corporate matters. In 2019 he served as an adjunct professor teaching tax at the University of Memphis, returning to campus to explain complex tax concepts to law and accounting students.
DeWitt practices across multiple state and federal jurisdictions. He is admitted in Tennessee, Florida, Arkansas and Texas, and he is authorized to practice before the U.S. Tax Court and the 11th Circuit. He maintains current bar memberships in Florida and Texas. Those multi-jurisdictional admissions allow him to handle matters that cross state lines and to counsel clients with operations in several regions.
His career centers on tax law, regulatory compliance and business-related disputes where financial detail matters. He draws on both accounting training and legal education to review transactions, prepare filings and advise on audits and controversies. The combination of CPA and J.D. credentials shapes his work style: precise document review, attention to numbers and a concern for how tax rules interact with commercial decisions.
DeWitt practices through DeWitt Law, PC, a firm that maintains offices in Nashville and Memphis, as well as Little Rock, Tampa, Orlando and Birmingham. That network supports clients in corporate tax matters, administrative proceedings before taxing authorities and litigation where tax issues are contested. His background in both accounting and law is a practical fit for businesses, accountants and individuals facing complex tax questions.
He continues to teach occasionally and remains active in bar associations. He handles matters in state and federal forums and before the U.S. Tax Court. His current practice focuses on tax controversy, business taxation and related regulatory work.
