William H. Lively Jr.'s Lawyer Endorsements
"When the factual situation is appropriate, I refer existing clients for whom I am representing before the IRS to a bankruptcy attorney. Sometimes, I'll decline representation and send a prospective tax client for a consultation with a bankruptcy attorney. I have referred several existing and potential clients to Bill Lively and have received a resounding "Thank You" from clients who he has been able to assist."
