for additional education. In doing so, he recently earned his Certified Tax Specialist in Tax Law designation from the State Bar of California Board of Legalization—making him one of the rare tax attorneys in San Diego to hold this specialization. He’s also dedicated himself to helping to educate the next generation of tax professionals through his work as an adjunct Professor of Taxation in the Masters of Tax program at the University of San Diego. Not surprisingly, with such a strong leader, and an equally driven team of attorneys sharing a unified mission of helping others, the legal community and the local community has recognized Dallo and Dallo Law Group many times. For instance, Dallo was named a Top Young Attorney by the San Diego Daily Transcript in 2013. In addition, he received the General Counsel Award from the San Diego Business Journal in 2015, for his work as General Counsel to Dallo & Co., Inc., the grocery store conglomerate his father founded years ago. In 2016, Dallo was also awarded the AVPreeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell and became one of the San Diego Business Journal’s 2016 Most Admired CEOs. As a firm, Dallo Law Group has also earned the distinction of being named a Best Tax Law Firm by the San Diego Union Tribune for the past three consecutive years. Likewise, in 2015 and 2016 Dallo Law Group was also named a “Best of the Bar” firm by the San Diego Business Journal. Today, just five years after officially opening the doors of Dallo Law Group, the expertise of Dallo and his team has already made them a powerhouse tax resolution firm. As they look towards the future, their dedication to providing tax resolution expertise to Southern Californians is only gaining momentum, according to Dallo. For his part, Dallo relentlessly pursues all opportunities for additional education, and in doing so recently earned his Certified Tax Specialist in Tax Law designation from the State Bar of California Board of Legalization—making him one of the rare tax attorneys in San Diego to hold this specialization. He’s also dedicated himself to helping to educate the next generation of tax attorneys through his work as an adjunct Professor of Taxation in the Masters of Tax program at the University of San Diego. In the coming years, Dallo plans to expand the firm’s reach through opening offices in Orange County and Los Angeles. “We will strive to maintain a boutique firm feel, while being able to serve more people throughout Southern California. Each office will retain the small firm feel, and provide the personal attention to detail that we’re known for in San Diego,” Dallo says. n
