Dylan J. Wallace

Dylan  is a product of northern Michigan, and he loves that fact.  Dylan  graduated from Alpena High School, with honors, in 2003.  From there,  Dylan ventured to southeastern Michigan and attended Eastern Michigan  University, home of the fighting emus (or eagles, depends on who you  ask).  While at EMU, Dylan double-majored in Business Management and  Business Marketing, which is probably what led him to starting his own  law practice.  Dylan graduated from EMU in 2007, summa cum laude and with a  3.94 GPA.  

Dylan  then found himself  at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School with an academic  scholarship.  At Cooley, Dylan concentrated his studies on "Elderlaw"   and completed his externship with the Sixty Plus Elderlaw Clinic.  Dylan  achieved the highest overall scores in his Taxation and Secured  Transactions courses, which is commonly referred to as "booking the  course."  He graduated from Cooley Law School in 2010, magna cum laude  and in the top 3% of his graduating class. Dylan went on to take the  Michigan State Bar Examination in February 2010, learning that he passed  the same in May 2010.  

In  June 2010, Dylan and his family returned to Alpena, Michigan and Dylan  began practicing law with the law firm of Isackson, Wallace &  Pfeifer, P.C. ("IWP"). At IWP, Dylan experienced a multitude of legal  areas, but primarily focused on estate planning, estate/trust  administration, and Medicaid planning.  In November 2014, Dylan founded  The Wallace Firm, P.C. in Alpena, Michigan.  

Dylan  spends the majority of his free time with his wife and children -  playing ninja turtles and reading stories.  In addition, Dylan enjoys  local breweries, all sports, hunting, and eating.
