Bio
I am Jennifer Ann Wynne, an attorney and Certified Public Accountant who focuses on resolving Federal and New York State tax controversies.
I was born and raised on Long Island. I have significant experience handling a variety of legal matters. Aside from practicing as a tax attorney, I have experience handling all aspects of complex business and commercial litigation, including bench and jury trials and appeals, along with litigation involving employment, labor, and education law. I am also familiar with estate planning, Surrogate Court practice, and drafting business agreements.
I graduated from Hofstra University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1991. While attending Hofstra, I was named to the Dean’s List and Provost’s List and earned membership in the national accounting honor society Beta Alpha Psi. In September 1994, I received my license to practice as a Certified Public Accountant in New York State.
In 2001, I earned my Juris Doctor (With Distinction) from Hofstra University School of Law. As a law student, I received CALI awards for excellence in the study of Constitutional Law and Business Organizations and also received the award for Best Oral Advocate. Upon graduation, I was awarded a Citation for Excellence in the study of Torts law.
