Charles C. Owen

Mr. Owen is the senior tax member in Gill Elrod Ragon Owen & Sherman, P.A., Little Rock, Arkansas, as well as the President, a director and shareholder. He has been a tax practitioner for over 47 years and is well-versed in all aspects of taxation.

Also a Certified Public Accountant, Mr. Owen’s practice focuses primarily in Wealth Preservation Planning.

Mr. Owen speaks and writes nationally on a variety of legal and tax topics including tax planning, elder representation, wealth preservation planning, legal ethics, offshore tax planning, and tax-exempt organizations. Mr. Owen excels at turning complicated tax laws into understandable, practical applications with a touch or two of humor.
