A Quality-Driven Law Firm
We take great pride in our work. And we work hard to earn the respect we're shown. Our senior partner, John Ellsworth, has been practicing tax law since 1972 when he was first admitted to the Illinois State Bar.

History
Our founder and senior attorney, John Ellsworth, received a B.S. degree in accounting from Greenville College. He then attended St. Louis University College of Law, where he received his formal training in taxation. After receiving his J.D. degree from the St. Louis University College of Law, Mr. Ellsworth worked for many years as a business/tax lawyer in Illinois. During this period he represented clients before the IRS where the amounts in controversy ranged from a few thousand to much, much more. He went to trial on hundreds of cases and successfully defended even a Chief of Police who was charged with a felony.

Mr. Ellsworth is licensed to practice law in Illinois, Colorado and Wisconsin, and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (which covers Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana) and various federal district courts, as well as the United States Tax Court and the Internal Revenue Service, IRS. He is also a member of the Section of Taxation of the American Bar Association and the American Institute of Tax Counsel. He is a member of the Chicago Bar Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, the State Bar of Colorado, American Bar Association, American Bankruptcy Institute, and Illinois State Bar Association.

Future Goals
We want to continue to find ways in which we can better serve our clients. When a new case is filed we expect and have the resources to respond to numerous Information Document Requests (IDRs) from the IRS, auditor meetings, negotiations, and endless tasks aimed toward resolving the issues that have put you in conflict. We pride ourselves on being problem solvers and attorneys who practice solution-oriented tax audit law.

John Ellsworth is married and lives with his wife and their 15 guinea pigs in a Chicago suburb.
