About Walt
Walt Dallas builds on dual training in accounting and law. He pairs a Bachelor of Arts in Accountancy from the University of Mississippi with a Juris Doctor from the same university, then added an LL.M. in Tax from SMU Dedman School of Law. That sequence shaped the direction of his legal work and informs how he approaches client matters.
He is admitted to practice in Mississippi. His academic background in accountancy gives him a practical view of numbers. The LL.M. in Tax added technical depth. Together those qualifications give him tools to handle complex tax questions and the financial context that often accompanies them.
Early in his legal life he moved into practice that reflects those strengths. Over the years he has worked with clients whose concerns sit at the intersection of tax and business. He often sorts through dense tax rules and their real-world effects on individuals, estates and enterprises. His approach tends to be methodical: identify the core financial facts, apply the relevant tax principles, and outline the options.
His practice is based in Mississippi. He works at T. Walton Dallas, P.A., where he provides counsel to clients in tax-related matters. He advises on compliance issues and on planning choices that carry tax consequences. He also assists clients navigating state and federal tax filing obligations and the administrative procedures that follow. The combination of accounting training and specialized legal education allows him to translate technical tax concepts for clients who need practical answers.
Colleagues describe him as steady and detail-oriented in handling tax work. He spends time reviewing returns, examining transactions and preparing the documentation that supports tax positions. That attention to detail matters in tax practice, where small facts can change outcomes. He is comfortable moving between the numeric side of a client's situation and the legal rules that govern it, which helps when assessing risks and designing options.
Outside of the formal record of degrees and practice, he keeps current on developments in tax law, as changes at both the federal and state level often alter planning and compliance needs. As of 2026 he maintains an active practice at T. Walton Dallas, P.A., concentrating on tax law and related matters in Mississippi.
