I hope he stays in business forever. thanks Mr. Bloom and Staff.

Lee Bloom has been our accountant for several years. One year we were audited due to suspicious…read moreclaims. I contacted Mr. Bloom and asked what do I need to do. He said nothing and he will take care of it. I said okay and asked for a follow up. Two weeks passed and I have not heard from Mr. Bloom. I called to follow up on my status and Mr. Bloom said he forgot to mail my receipts (he did not take care of it). Mr. Bloom said he will take care of it in a week and to relax the IRS won't do anything, the worst case I'll have to pay. Again, I trusted Mr. Bloom and waited another 2 weeks!!!!! I called Mr. Bloom AGAIN and he left a message. It took him 2 days to call back. He said he mailed in the receipts. One month later I receive a letter from the IRS stating I owe more money since I did NOT respond to their letter. I called Mr. Bloom again and showed him the letter. His response was, "I mailed in the receipts what do you want from me." I called the IRS myself and spoke with someone, he assisted me on what to do and I was going to mail the receipts myself. I called Mr. Bloom and asked for my receipts back. Mr. Blooms response was in a harsh tone and said he mailed on the originals and DOES NOT have any receipts!!!! In a panic, I called the IRS, they said NO ONE mails original receipts and where did I find my accountant? As a result I had to fish for most of my receipts and had to pay a higher fine. Mr. Bloom showed no interest in working with us, it seemed that once he received our money, he was finished working with us.

Very disappointed in services rendered by Jeffrey Shad. His receptionist Sara is unprofessional and…read morewould benefit from a customer service class. Called the office on 4/15 to confirm that my NYS tax payment was submitted for an automatic electronic debit from my bank account...I got conflicting answers and when I said that I had a busy day ahead of me and really didn't have time to come down there and get the IT 201 Jeff basically told me that I don't know what a busy day is. I then spent over an hour on hold with NYS and now have been in an email war with Jeff since this morning...still I am not sure if it was submitted or not. Here is the last response I received from Jeff himself Again, this matter has NOTHING to do with me and is out of my control. VERY SIMPLY, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure your taxes are paid, NOT MINE, and if you knew that the state did not withdraw the taxes on the designated date you should have IMMEDIATELY, on THAT DAT,E called my office and I would have provided you with the voucher you need to mail in a check. Why in the world would you let it drag on until the last minute and then expect me to jump through hoops on my busiest day of the year. Please no more emails. I did not read your last one and will not read any additional ones. My question was simple...was my or was not my NYS tax payment electronically submitted to NYS for payment?? It is now the 17th and I still have no direct answer to that question. After the treatment I have received from both Jeff and his secretary/receptionist whatever she is I would not EVER refer anyone to him. Consider yourself warned

The woman answering the phone is not helpful and outright nasty by saying things like "Maybe you…read moreshould sell your house if you couldn't afford your tax", "The reassessment is targeting owners like you" and "Are you trying to go after your neighbors?" First of all, my ability to pay tax and whether I want to sell my house is my own business and has nothing to do with my intention to apply for tax grievance. Secondly, the over $10,000 annual tax I was paying for my modest house before the over 40% hike is already too much in my opinion and by no means underpay in any sense. And thirdly, I was telling her the general accessed values of the houses on my block and try to explain my reasoning behind the grievance, she just didn't want to hear any of it and wouldn't let another chance to insult a potential client pass her by. Wow, with an employee like her, it's a wonder that this place will get any business at all. Wish Yelp will offer negative stars rating from now on, which is more than appropriate for this business.

Not only did he file my taxes wrong he neglected to call his customer back since the end of march 2017 regarding the matter. His receptionist was very rude and kept calling me honey whenever I tried calling his office to get in touch with him. Her answer to that was he's on vacation, she used that excuse the 10 times I called to get in touch with alex. Stay far away from this company, two unprofessional employee's with horrible professional and people skills.

Michael LoGiudice did a stellar job as my attorney when I was hit by a car in NYC and ended up with…read morea broken foot. I honestly didn't think my case was worth that much money, but Michael showed me otherwise! He went after multiple parties and made sure I got every recovery, reimbursement or work benefit I was entitled to. I won't lie - I definitely had to do my part and gather all my medical and financial info, fill out plenty of forms and paperwork in a timely manner, but the ratio of time spent filling out paperwork to money recovered was astronomical and well worth it in the end! But beyond the recovery money, I genuinely liked working with Michael. He's a straight shooter, but still has great "court-side" manner and is personable and easy to talk to. He's a tenacious fighter. I especially appreciate that he never once BS-ed, lied or sugarcoated the situation. He told me exactly what I should and should not expect and clearly laid out options for me to choose at every step of the process. But most impressive of all to me - apart from the recovery money ; ) is that Michael was remarkably responsive whenever I reached out to him. I wished that my own family and work colleagues responded to emails as fast as Michael did in handling my case! I know in the realm of lawsuits that my case was pretty small, but Michael never once treated me like anything but a VIP client and fought tenaciously on my behalf the whole time until everything was settled and all the checks came in. And for that I thank him and give him 5-stars!
