Michael Duhn Portrait

From the neighborhoods of Chicagoland to the marble steps of the nation’s highest court, Michael Duhn has built a legal career defined by precision, persistence, and an uncommon ability to navigate the most intimidating corners of the U.S. tax system.

Trained across disciplines—public administration, business, and law—Duhn earned his Juris Doctor in 2016 after completing graduate study in both public administration and business administration, a combination that would later shape his distinctive approach to tax controversy and advocacy. With a practice rooted in the real-world stakes of financial survival, he is known for helping individuals and businesses confront complex tax burdens, IRS disputes, and high-pressure compliance crises with clarity and strategy.

In 2023, Duhn reached a milestone that few attorneys ever achieve: he was sworn into the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, authorizing him to practice before the Court—recognition that reflects both expertise and national-level credibility.

Mr. Duhn is a modern tax attorney working at the intersection of law, business, and human consequence—where every number on a form represents a family, a future, or a second chance. His is the story of a counselor forged not only by credentials, but by commitment: to mastery, to clients, and to the belief that even the most daunting systems can be understood—and overcome.
