Built on a strong tradition of service and expertise, Bever Dye, LC was founded in 1937 by Ellis D. Bever, a prominent Kansas attorney who had served his state with distinction. The principal draftsman of the initial Kansas Income Tax Act, Bever was also the first Director of the Kansas Department of Revenue. He also served as an attorney with the U.S. Board of Tax Appeals (now the United States Tax Court).

From the beginning, the firm’s practice capitalized on Bever’s vast experience, focusing primarily in the areas of federal and state tax law, including tax planning, administrative controversies, and tax litigation. Today, the firm also practices in the areas of estate planning and administration (probate), trust law, employee benefits and ERISA, business organizations, charitable and tax-exempt organizations, commercial transactions and real estate.
