Advised on Tax Case | Aug 17, 2023
Bill literally has the tax code embedded in his DNA. He does not just talk the talk. He walks the walk. Rather, he does not just walk. He dances the walk with knowledge, experience finesse, coordination and class. I treasure the day Bill was referred to me. It has turned into a career long personal and professional friendship. I have consulted with Bill on both my own tax issue and clients' tax messes. He will also guide you through dealing with the IRS with more information and protocol that many actual IRS agents have. Bill is also that rare breed referred to as "a lawyer's lawyer." He is readily available. No need to go through a maze of "messages" to hear from him. He also has excellent "bedside manner." He will get straight to the point and spell out the game-plan, calmly explaining options and consequences. IRS agents listen to and respect him when he calls on your behalf. In short, if you find yourself in a long dark alley filled with IRS notices and agents, Bill is the ONLY professional you should pick to be there with you.

Advised on Bank Levy, Trust Fund Recovery Penalty | Jan 1, 2024
Be Aware !!! I first contacted William on 11/15/2023 after seeing reviews in TaxCure. While on the initial calls, he asked me to send the detailed information about the cases. At this point he should have mentioned his fee for the initial communications, there were few email back and forth about my case in the last email he suggested few opinions and asked me to decided before hiring him or him preparing "an engagement agreement " for which I sent a last email asking for a fee, to which I never a got a response. And on 31st of December 2023, I get a invoice listing items for, preparing power of attorney ,preparing and organizing files and communication for $855.00

Now, bear in mind, I spoke to several attorney, who spent more time during the initial calls then him and giving me guidance but non of these guys sent a hidden fee and a shady invoices like him. I strongly believe this guy is unscrupulous. Be Careful ! Find someone who is straightforward.
