I was so surprised to see the negative reviews that I had to stop and complete my own. We have…read morebeen using both the accounting side and the investment side for about 20 years now. For a number of reasons, our taxes as a married couple filing jointly are complicated, and the charges have never been more than absolutely fair. The advice Mike has given us over the years has been invaluable. We trust him down to our cores. He has become a true friend. He has supported us in times of family tragedy and celebrated with us in the happy times, both personal and financial. He is funny, caring, compassionate, and an excellent accountant! The office staff has always been responsive and courteous, down to an individual. On the investing side, we couldn't be happier. Suffice it to say that even in the 2008 and recent downturns, we have had complete confidence, which I'll add has proven to be well-founded. Scott and Brandon take excellent care of us. They are patient, but realistic about our investing needs as we get nearer to retirement age. They care about us, even though we're not high rollers, and give us time and attention as if we were. I'm sorry to read that Bob and Peter had bad experiences. All I can say is that their stories are completely foreign to anything we have ever encountered at Hayashi and Wayland.

If you want insurance from someone who is knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and truly…read moreoutstanding at what she does, ask for Rochelle at State Farm in Salinas. To put it plainly, Rochelle is a major reason I have stayed with State Farm. In today's world, people do not stay loyal to companies just because of a name. They stay because of the people behind that name, and Rochelle represents State Farm at the highest level. Her experience, training, licensing, and years of service show in every conversation. She brings clarity, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to doing right by people. Her level of service has always been exceptional. She is thorough, responsive, patient, highly knowledgeable, and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is handled correctly. What makes Rochelle stand out is not just her experience, but the way she treats people. She brings real care, real professionalism, and real confidence to every interaction. She makes you feel like you matter, and that kind of service is rare. It is the reason I have stayed with State Farm and why I continue to hold this company and this office in such high regard. The Salinas office is fortunate to have Rochelle. She represents the very best of State Farm. Whether your needs are auto, home, life, or anything else, I highly recommend reaching out to Rochelle specifically. She has earned my trust and respect over many years, and that says everything. In a time when great customer service feels rare, Rochelle reminds you what it is supposed to look like.

I called and was told "We are not doing any homeowners insurance in California." Well that is…read morecontrary to several of these good reviews. Mr. Stretch, I understand your reputation is important to you and you want to separate your practice from the corporate policies that govern what you can and cannot do but you are an insurance agent that cannot insure me. I think 1 star is fair since you cannot do your job. This may be due to StateFarm but if you want to keep your 5 stars you should advocate for a reasonable solution to StateFarm and take it up with them that their policy cost you clients, income and reputation. Sorry you are in this situation but I am not altering my assessment. Thats like a car salesman saying sorry i cant sell you any cars. Thats literally your job and not my fault as a consumer..

A great personality and a way with people goes far, I've never been disappointed with the customer service and attention to detail each employee here offers when it comes to getting the best return possible for a client. I never worry about the cost I pay because deep down the rerun has been great or close to what I made that year. You can count on getting great service, some good laughs, and the fridge being stocked with drinks for the clients!!!! My man goes all out. One year I forgot a few things ans cost my man to make no money, but next year he came back with the same humbleness and got me on track. Ive been here now for 3 years and don't plan on going to anyone else in the area!!! If you're looking for a new person I recommend my man Sanjeet, give him a call and get an appointment in.
