Do not open a retirement account with Benedetti & Associates…read more Over a full decade, my Roth IRA account yielded an abysmal annual return of under 4%. For context, even the most conservative retirement portfolios averaged 6-8% annually during the same period. More aggressive Roth IRA strategies returned around 12-13%. And the U.S. stock market has averaged about 10% annually over the last 30 years--meaning this firm underperformed even the most basic, passive investment benchmarks. To make matters worse, I paid a 1% annual management fee, adding insult to injury. I essentially paid for underperformance. Even more painful: this decade of poor returns covered the prime investing years of my life--ages 25 to 35--when time and compounding matter most. They didn't just underperform; they did lasting damage to my long-term financial growth. I cannot recommend Trent Benedetti Associates to anyone looking for competent, growth-oriented investment guidance. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

A very short summary ... My husband and I have discussed…read morethis in too much length, and all we can say is "Total Disgust" about filing our 2018 federal and state income taxes with Benedetti & Associates. In addition to an overall lack of communication throughout the tax season; we were sent SOMEONE ELSE'S tax returns! (Yes, you read that correctly.) I consider tax returns one of the most sensitive and personal financial documents. This is beyond concerning to me in a way words cannot even explain. Since we received our "completed forms" after Tax Day, there was NO opportunity to review them before they were due. What about our deductions? California state tax law allows 2% miscellaneous itemized deductions in 2018. Benedetti & Associates didn't ask anything about my expenses. The offices of Benedetti & Associates took no time, nor concern, to communicate throughout the process; no time, nor concern, to ask any questions that might help our returns; no time, nor concern to get our completed taxes returned in a timely manner; and took no time, nor concern, to protect our privacy. Gene Peterson, our previous CPA, would be disappointed his clients went through such a fiasco. It is absolutely appalling anyone would be put in a situation such as this. I cannot believe my husband and I paid $295 to Benedetti & Associates to be treated this way. Total disgust.

If I could give a business negative stars, this would be the one. Dishonest and terrible customer…read moreservice. I have purchased multiple insurance products through this business, and I regret ever choosing them. Cynthia Hsncock was my agent, and an example of customer service at its poorest. I recently purchased a new auto insurance policy through her. One month after enrolling I got a bill for the auto insurance that was almost double my "guaranteed the premium won't go up, this is really what you are going to pay" auto policy. Repeated attempts to contact my insurance agent (Cynthia) via email, voicemail, and a message through the receptionist went unanswered for over TWO weeks. So here I am, stuck with this bill almost double the quoted premium, which is accruing late fees, and can't get any answers for WHY it went up and no one will call me back. And if I call the auto insurance company directly it just routes me back to Cynthia's office. So finally after over two weeks, and calling again 4 times over the last 3 days I get a grumpy return phone call. And when asked why my repeated calls and emails have gone unanswered, her unapologetic response was "I've been busy." Wow. Nothing like feeling used... They got my money then apparently don't even owe me a return phone call to explain why the product that I ended up with is almost double the price of what I had originally agreed to and purchased. Do not give this company your business

Before coming to Jack Clark Insurance Services, I was paying close to $100/mo. too much for my auto insurance and didn't even realize I had any other options. I had searched all over the internet and the agent I received my insurance from told me it was by far my best option. Little did I know, there were many factors that were being overlooked. When Joshua offered me a free quote, I thought, "it can't hurt to find out!" Within a few days, I received a comprehensive quote outlining the details of three different options I could choose from. I now have 3x the coverage for $600 less annually. Jack and Joshua are both very thorough and professional in their work. I highly recommend taking advantage of their complementary quoting service.
