"I have worked with and recommended Bill to clients in need of business valuations over the years and each experience has been very successful. Clients enjoy working with Bill as he brings a creative approach to valuations which is firmly grounded in the law and fact. He is an excellent trial witness and enjoys a great reputation within the legal and accounting communities."

Howard Protter, Esq.
Attorney
Jacobowitz & Gubits

"I have used Bill several times to provide valuations for operating businesses. I have found him to be responsive, top quality and reasonably priced. I will use him again and suggest you give him a chance as well."

Attorney
Vergilis, Stenger, Roberts, Davis & Diamond
(first retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 2000)

Carmee Murphy, Esq.
Senior Associate
Jacobowitz & Gubits
(firm first retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 1991)

"I have utilized Bill's appraisal services in the business valuation area for several years. His work is top notch and he finishes assignments quickly and efficiently. He is a total professional and extremely knowledgeable in the business valuation area. He is also very personable and cordial to clients. I would highly recommend Bill's services."

Paul Roberts

"William has always delivered what was promised on a timely basis and in a very professional manner and I would certainly recommend his services to other professionals."

Richard Merck
CPA, Partner
Merck CPAs & Consultants
(first retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 2007)

"Rick Freed was a pleasure to work with. He tackled an unusual situation with severe time constraints. I was pleasantly surprised when the project was completed on time and within budget. Rick took the time to explain complex financial concepts in terms I, a non-professional, could understand. Our CPA firm was as impressed with Advent Valuation as I was with Rick's performance. I won't hesitate to engage Rick in the future or recommend his services."

George J. Dusek
CFP, VP
Apple Financial Services

"Bill has provided valuation service for 2 of my firm's clients. His work has been timely and professional in both cases. Both clients provided positive feedback."

Michael Specht
Partner
Metis Group, CPAs
(first retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 2002)

"I first met Bill through a business associate of mine looking for someone to help evaluate our growing business. We met Bill at his office and from the beginning he made us feel very comfortable. He listened to our thoughts and we began immediately to brainstorm ideas, this was very important to me because he knew that being in business "time is money." He secured that with me by following up on a timely manner and made me feel comfortable that he was going to perform...and he did. His report has helped us to make a good, sound business decision."

Dan Tulp
Owner
Liberty Pest Control
(retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 2008)

"Bill has done 3 or 4 valuations for me over the past few years and I have been very happy with his knowledge, communication throughout the process and results. I would highly recommend Bill."

Chris Albanese
Partner
Montgomery Physical Therapy
(retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 2005)

"When we started working with Bill, my wife and I were in the beginning stages of starting a software company and needed a business plan and a line of credit. Bill worked with us to write our business plan and took the time to teach us the process so that we not only ended up with a good product, but a better understanding of the building blocks of a small business. Bill took great ownership of our application for a credit line, resulting in swift approval for the funds that we needed. Through the years all businesses need continued tweaking as they grow. I have never come to Bill with a challenge and found him wanting for knowledge or good counsel. Many business questions are also legal questions, and Bill never hesitated to get other professionals from other areas involved when he thought that it was necessary. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone in business who needs financial counsel or help with gameplanning the business side of their endeavor."

Mike Hinckley
CEO
Easybus Software
(retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 2000,
and retained them more than once)

"Mr. Quackenbush was hired to conduct evaluation of businesses I owned and wanted to sell. He is particularly adept at conducting on target research to insure the data he compiles relates to the client's industry rather than simply providing generic data. He provided the reports in a timely fashion, well compiled and verifiable at every turn. His credentials and technical expertise are excellent and I recommend him without reservation."

Donna Cornell
Owner
Cornell B2B
(retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 1996,
and retained them more than once)

"Rick Freed has performed our corporate valuation for the last two years and I highly recommend him. He is incredibly intelligent, thorough, and professional. We have been extremely pleased with the final products and Rick's timeliness. We have enjoyed working with Rick and plan to continue to do so in the future."

Dominic A. LaPore
President & COO
IntelliWare Systems, Inc.

"Bill has been both a client and respected adviser. His experience in banking, business consulting and valuation continues to prove to be invaluable to me as a business owner. The complex issues that surround companies in today's economic environment and their effects on the value of company assets, is why Advent will always be on my speed dial. As a highly credentialed professional, Bill represents the knowledge and expert opinion necessary to aid in your strategic business decisions."

David Cummings
CEO
Cool Life Systems
(retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 1999,
and retained them more than once)

"Seems to me that the best recommendation for Bill's work is that I hired him to personally evaluate a business I was going to purchase."

Peter Klose, Esq.
Klose & Associates
(retained Advent Valuation Advisors in 2004,
and retained them more than once)

"It is rare to find an individual who embodies the finest attributes of an academic and a businessman. However, Bill does embody both with a healthy dose of efficiency, common sense and humanity that makes him truly unique. His breadth of knowledge and experience, not to mention his mile long CV are all additional reasons for people to trust that he will deliver proper and accurate valuations in a timely and cost effective manner."

Mendel Zilberberg
CEO

"Bill was instrumental in our company making a very complicated business property acquisition happen. We started with the business plan, then did 5 year projections on our current financials.
