Serving Ann Arbor & Washtenaw County
Tax Attorney in Ann Arbor, Michigan
I am James Maule, a tax attorney based just minutes from Ann Arbor in Dexter. I help Ann Arbor individuals, families, and small businesses resolve IRS and Michigan tax problems and plan for what comes next, working with you directly from the first call to the final resolution.
Tax Help for Ann Arbor Taxpayers
Ann Arbor is not a typical tax market. Between the University of Michigan, a deep bench of startups and research spinoffs, established professional practices, and a strong small-business community along Main Street and in Kerrytown, the tax questions I see here are often more complicated than a single W-2. Faculty and researchers deal with fellowship income, multistate moves, and foreign reporting. Founders deal with equity, payroll, and entity choices. Homeowners and retirees deal with capital gains and estate planning.
Because my office is in Dexter, roughly ten minutes from downtown, I can meet Ann Arbor clients in person when that helps, instead of routing you to a national call center. You work with the same attorney every time.

Why Ann Arbor Clients Work With Me
A local attorney, not a call center
My office is in Dexter, minutes from Ann Arbor. When an in-person meeting makes sense, we have one. You deal with me directly, not a rotating queue of case managers.
Federal and Michigan tax under one roof
An IRS problem is rarely just federal. I handle IRS matters nationwide and Michigan Department of Treasury issues for Ann Arbor residents and businesses, so the state side does not fall through the cracks.
Built for Ann Arbor's economy
University income, research and fellowship pay, startup equity, professional practices, and small-business returns each carry their own audit risk. I have handled the kinds of issues Ann Arbor taxpayers actually face.
