Yahn, is a partner with the law firm of James, Smith, Dietterick and Connelly, LLP, in Hershey, Pennsylvania and serves on the faculty at Lebanon Valley College and Villanova University as an adjunct professor where he teaches Individual Taxation and Taxation of Business Entities. Neil primarily concentrates his law practice on income, partnership, corporate and estate tax matters and related litigation. Neil advises clients with respect to the use of partnerships, S corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs) and other pass-through entities to assist clients in a wide range of tax planning matters. He works with our clients to use pass-through entities to avoid double taxation, to allow business owners to obtain the full benefit of tax losses or tax incentives, and to minimize the tax impact of various asset acquisitions or dispositions. In the controversy area, Neil has represented clients at the audit and appellate levels of the IRS and in litigation before the U.S. Tax Court. He has also represented large estates and beneficiaries in disputes over testamentary documents and claims of undue influence.

He is a graduate of the Villanova University School of Law. At Villanova, he earned his Juris Doctorate and Masters in Taxation (LL.M.). Neil supplemented his Masters in Taxation from the Georgetown University Law Center where he focused on employee benefits, employer plan designs and fiduciary provisions under ERISA. Neil was part of the Rising Star Super Lawyers as it appeared in the Philadelphia Magazine (only 2.5% of all Pennsylvania attorneys are selected under the age of 40 as Rising Stars). Finally, Neil resides in Derry Township with his wife, Kris and two children, Neil Jr., and Taylor. He is actively involved in the Hershey Lacrosse Association where he coaches and serves on their board.
