You may be able to hold them to it later but you are still ultimately
responsible.
If a CPA screws up your taxes, you are still liable for that filing.
You may have a case against them that you may or may not win in court.
But you will still have to pay back taxes, and interest at best when
your CPA screws up, and fines as well at worst.
The same holds true for lawyers. If the legal advice is bad enough you
may have a case for negligence and you may get some damages, but
ultimately you are responsible for your actions and you are not going to
be able to just pass the buck and say, "My lawyer said so." At best it
will help mitigate intent.

Tom,
I have to go with Matt on this.
I am on a lot of lists, so they get confused, but I have seen way too
many people ask for advice on listservs that should have gone to
either a CPA, state revenue department, or an attorney.
You have no real idea who is replying. He could be giving you advice
he just thought up.
Telecom, especially voice, has specific legal requirements - E911,
taxes and CALEA being just a few.
It varies in each state. It varies in each situation (when VoIP is
concerned, because what is "inter-connected").
Laws about leases and right of way also vary by jurisdiction.
If you advice from a CPA or lawyer, you can hold them to it later. Not
so much the list poster, cuz how do you find [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(Although I am sure a lawsuit will someday be filed because someone
took crazy @$$ advice from a list member).
