Attorney Profile : William B. Lowrance

Why do you need me as your attorney?

Experience and Training
I have over twenty-five years experience in financial, tax, civil, criminal investigation and litigation. Most attorneys are legally trained, but they are not trained in investigations. Not only am I an attorney, but I possess unique investigative skills that are valuable and necessary to the successful practice of law. My investigative background together with my legal education and experience gives you the edge in any legal matter. You will benefit from my unique experience and training.

In addition, my first-hand experience with different federal and state agencies is a huge advantage in my private practice, enabling me to thoroughly understand cases from the perspectives of both the government and the private citizen.

Professional Organizations
I am a member of several professional organizations including: the American Bar Association, the Mississippi Bar Association, the Texas Bar Association, the Virginia Bar Association, the Fairfax Bar Association and the McLean Bar Association.

I am a licensed attorney in Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, and am qualified to handle tax disputes nationally.

I am also an active member of the Society of Former special Agents of the FBI, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners and the Private Investigators Association of Virginia.
