Tax Attorney Daniel W. Layton is the principal of the law firm. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School who has dedicated his career to providing the highest level of representation to his clients in tax audits, appeals, trials, and criminal tax investigations.  His diverse and substantial background in tax comes not only from an advanced degree in the laws of taxation, earned while attending Golden Gate University in San Francisco, but from his time at the beginning of his career as an IRS trial attorney and, later, from his over five years with the U.S. Department of Justice, handling civil and criminal tax cases as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in downtown Los Angeles.

Mr. Layton is a native of Southern California, born in Long Beach.  He currently resides in Fullerton, California, where he and his wife raise two daughters. After leaving the public sector, he opened an Orange County tax law firm due to his desire to support local businesses and people after seeing a need for sophisticated, smart, ethical, and cost-efficient representation in the area.  More than just bringing his breadth of experience to the table, Mr. Layton's clients can expect to be kept informed in plain terms, direct and honest communication, regular updates and availability using modern technology, and attention to their personal needs.

When the chips are down, Mr. Layton's clients can also expect a confident, aggressive, and authoritative voice on their side.  Mr. Layton has substantial courtroom and trial experience in civil and criminal cases, ranging from more than a quarter of a billion dollars to innocent spouse cases.
