Business Tax Debt / Personal Liability

Mr. Charles Ray was hired to take and look into my companies corporate taxes and to clearly have me separated from the corporate liability personally. Well the debt remained with the company and I was separated not held personally responsible for the trust fund penalties that could have been assesse...d to me as the owner of the company. Without his work and expertise in this matter I don’t know what I would have done. I’m so satisfied with the overall results and outcome of the matter. I highly recommend counsel to anyone who has a business and or personal tax matter that needs attention to.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
