"Bill Maher worked with us, coached us and true to his word, loaded us with information to educate ourselves on alcoholism and how this disease is affecting our family. Our lives are more manageable now and this would not have been possible without Bill's services. Based on what he has done for my family, I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his intervention services."
—A. Spooner, Glen Allen, Virginia
