Biography

Jason Wiggam is a top attorney recognized by Best Lawyers in the practice area(s) of Tax Law.

Jason, who practices law in Atlanta, Georgia, has been recognized since 2026. This recognition is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey, reflecting the high esteem in which Jason is held by other top lawyers in the same geographic and legal practice area.

Jason Wiggam is a founding partner of Wiggam Law in Atlanta, Georgia. His practice is dedicated to representing individuals, businesses, officers, directors, shareholders, and partners in high-stakes controversies before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Georgia Department of Revenue, and other state taxing authorities.

Known for his strategic advocacy during complex tax audits, appeals, and collection procedures, Jason brings deep experience to cutting-edge tax disputes. Notably, he has successfully defended clients facing aggressive IRS enforcement actions, including syndicated conservation easements and micro-captive insurance disputes. His comprehensive practice encompasses IRS tax settlements, tax compliance, offshore foreign bank reporting (FBAR), audit reconsiderations, innocent spouse relief, penalty abatements, and the release of federal and state tax liens and levies.

Jason’s elite academic background provides the foundation for his sophisticated tax practice. He earned his Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from the Georgia State University College of Law and holds an advanced LL.M. (Master of Laws) in Taxation from the New York University School of Law, widely regarded as one of the nation's top tax law programs. Reflecting his standing in the local legal community, Jason was recognized by Georgia Trend Magazine as one of Georgia’s Legal Elite for seven consecutive years (2015–2021).

Beyond his private practice, Jason is deeply committed to expanding access to tax legal services. This passion began during a year-and-a-half tenure at the Philip C. Cook Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic at Georgia State University, where he defended taxpayers who could not afford legal representation. Today, he continues to serve the clinic as an Advisory Board member and actively invests in the next generation of tax practitioners by funding the Jason and Allyson Wiggam Fellowship for current clinic students.
