About Michael J. Kittle

To let you know a little about myself, I grew up in Minooka, Illinois, a small town just outside of Joliet, southwest of Chicago.  I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and graduated in 2002 summa cum laude with degrees in political science, economics, and finance.  Opting for a change of scenery, I chose to move the more favorable climate of Southern California to study law.  I was impressed with Pepperdine University’s commitment to a high level of professional standards and emphasis on a personal character.  I have completed the JD/MBA joint-degree program at Pepperdine University, graduating with honors.  Presently, I am a practicing tax and estate planning attorney in Southern California.  Overall, I am very happy with my move to Southern California and hope to stay here for many years.
