Meet Matt Wildes, Attorney-CPA
Your IRS Advocate
Matthew J. Wildes earned his Juris Doctorate specializing in tax at Minnesota’s Mitchell Hamline School of Law while also clerking at Minneapolis-area law and accounting firms. During his final semester of law school, he worked for the Internal Revenue Service at the iconic Wells Fargo Bank tower in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota.
