If you happen to be looking for an investment adviser, we can give some advice that can save you…read moreaggravation - and money. Permit us to share the dreadful experiences we had with the firm of Carmichael Hill & Associates in Gaithersburg, Md. We foolishly hired them to manage our savings. While it's true the Dow dropped 5.6% in 2018, our investments managed by Carmichael that year plummeted more than 7%. But that's not the worst of it. Consider their track record with us: They recommended some 50 investments in the short time we permitted them to manage our money. 41 were losers! We lost tens of thousands of dollars letting this firm manage our money. Oh, and they continued to take thousands of dollars in fees from our accounts. They made their money while we lost big. They argued we approved every one of their suggested trades. In truth, we were captive to their supposed expertise. Well, their record speaks for itself. Before you decide upon the very important decision of who gets the privilege to manage your money, consider our experiences with Carmichael and think long and hard. Trust me, you don't wish to follow in our footsteps.

Did not even respond to a hello! First of all, it's your job to greet the clients NOT ours. Second, he gave us a super tiny envelope. How the hell am I supposed to fit paper work in a tiny envelope? When we said it wouldn't fit, he was incredibly rude and stated "You should know better." He wanted us to bend the papers and cram it into a tiny envelope! How professional is that? On top of that, whenever you go to an accountant they usually provide you with a stamp as well as copies. Forget it with this guy! He didn't do anything of that sort! VIJAY PAUL IS A HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING AND CHEAP AS FUCK! Overall, we also sensed a ton of racism and discrimination in the treatment that we received from this man and the way he spoke to us, since we are Sikh and he is a Hindu. He may claim this review isn't true but I did go to his office and I have proof that he filled paperwork for us!
