Joe Hanley
Report
Joe began his professional career as an infantry officer in the US Marine Corps, where he served in combat in Operation Desert Storm and won several personal decorations. After graduating from law school, he managed a housing shelter, working on issues related to homeless individuals and families. He then founded several successful entrepreneurial ventures in insurance, technology and education. His own experience and frustrations settling an IRS tax debt in the mid-90's was a prime motivator in forming The Tax Defenders in 2002.

Jillian Thompson
Report
As a young girl growing up on the Eastern Plains of Colorado, Jillian found her direction in an Aristotle quote: "Where your talents and the needs of the world cross; there lies your vocation." While she had immense passion for music and film, she believed a legal education would best prepare her for a life of helping others.
