Our Experts
Donna M. Byrne, Attorney, EA, LTC
Donna has been an attorney since 1990, and taught tax and estates courses for 23 years as a full-time law professor in Delaware and Minnesota.
Upon graduating from Corvallis High School in Corvallis, Oregon, Donna studied forestry and political science at Oregon State University before moving east to Minnesota for graduate school, and then further east to Pennsylvania for law school. Income tax was her favorite course in law school, so she took more tax courses, which set her up to work as a tax attorney for a large law firm in Philadelphia. She left active practice to join the faculty of Widener Law School in 1993, and then Mitchell Hamline School of Law in 1997.
As a professor, she taught law school courses on income tax, estate and gift tax, estates and trusts, food law, and tax policy. She has also trained volunteer income tax preparers and was herself a volunteer for many years. Donna returned to Oregon in 2016 to venture out into the real world of clients. She is an Enrolled Agent,* an Oregon Licensed Tax Consultant, an NTPI Fellow, and an estates and trusts lawyer.
Donna's goal as a speaker, attorney, and tax consultant is to provide peace of mind and clearer understanding. Her expertise is in demand by clients and colleagues alike. She is admitted to practice law in Oregon and before the US Tax Court.
A former Zumba and ski instructor, Donna particularly enjoys hiking, folk dancing, and jamming on her accordion.
