Out of curiosity, why do you suggest an attorney? Unless they will be going to court or if there are other legal problems involved, I don't see any need for an attorney. Based on what was presented, a good tax professional would be able to handle it.
I agree, generally, but then not all tax professionals can practice before the IRS (only CPAs and EAs can do so) while all licensed attorneys have that ability.
More importantly there is a legal problem involved here, at least a potential one in the form of a risk that a criminal violation will be alleged.
