In my early thirty's with a "decent" income and some student loans, i've just recently saw the light and started wising up in regards to my family's financial future. The guys at ATA are local Lee's Summit guys (which means a lot to me) and since i'm not a financial guru, they explained things very clearly and simple for my wife and I to understand. It's truly a one stop shop as they cover FINANCES, INVESTMENTS, TAXES, INSURANCE, and Mid-American Mortgage to boot. I'm not a big fish by any means but they value my business and are always a phone call away. I feel a LOT better knowing that for a small price my family is covered in the event that something happens to me. If you are in the eastern jackson county area, go see these guys! Lyall is the finance guy and Aaron handles mortgages.

On tax preparation, for two years in a row their assistant did not copy our FM 1095-A which resulted in letters from the IRS both years. The first year was over a $1200 mistake. The second year my wife visited the office with the IRS letter. Lyall and his relative were out on vacation. When Lyall called back the next week, he accused my wife of threatening them based on words his assistant said and instructed her to never come to the office again and refused to address the IRS letter. His relative Jason continued the unprofessional attitude by indicating we were at fault for the mistake of his assistant not copying the form. The unprofessional and aggressive behavior resulted in us handling the IRS letter ourselves despite them preparing our taxes. Utilize them at your own risk.

But with Credit Law Center, they charge only if they achieve the results - there is no push to sell, and very fair and straightforward to deal with. And also more personable to deal with since there is an individual assigned to your case whom you can reach out to anytime you want. I was working with Kayla who was really good to work with.

Example: If your claim is $10,000, if legal fees are $8,000 and you received $2,000, the 1099 you will receive is for the total amount of claim or in this example $10,000. You will pay tax on the entire amount of $10,000, not $2,000. I got hit with a nice tax bill I wasn't expecting. I'm not a tax CPA, but I wish I were as this wouldn't have happened.

Hi! Just thought you…read moreshould be aware of this establishment. I had a bad experience with them and my tax preparer. I filed my taxes in feb of this year and waited for my preparer to discuss with me my return. She left me a voicemail telling me that my refund was a mere fraction of any previous returns I had gotten. I was out of town for the week and so when I got back I called her to find out if I could change my filing status. She informed me that it had already been filed that way and that I had to wait until the end of the season. I was upset so I didn't pay or sign for them bc I had hoped to file an addendum in May. So the office contacted me and said it's the last day you have to sign and pay for them. I explained to that person the situation and how frustrated I was with my CPA. She told me to hold on a moment and then my CPA answered the phone. I was put on the spot immediately and I hung up. She called me right back and so I spoke to her hesitantly. I explained her again what I was looking into and she was very short with me. She obviously knew I complained about her bc of her tone and tenor. She asked me a few questions in a short manner and told me that it would take one week to prepare. I said ok. I waited two more months and contacted them again. I once again spoke to someone about the situation and explained what had happened. The person I was speaking to was the same receptionist that put me on the phone with my preparer. She apologized to me and I accepted it. She said there wasn't anyone else to talk to since I had asked for a manger. I explained that next time give the customer a heads up that they are about to put on the phone with the person they complained about. She apologized again. I told her bc of my experience I would not be back. She said that she would have my CPA call me. So my preparer finally called me back. She asked me the same questions over again in a condescending manner as if we had not talked about it. Then proceeded to tell me that she could not fulfill my request bc of my situation. It was based on something she could have looked up 6 months previously. So she pushed me off for months to be told in a patronizing way that I didn't qualify. That's when I told her about herself. She claims she wasn't being rude but based on her actions alone she showed me that she didn't care about me as a client. She made me feel like I was the one being ridiculous. I explained all of this and she gave me a half assed apology. I told her that I would not be back based on their customer service and communication. It has nothing to do with the amount of my return. I could have saved myself 6 months of frustration if she had taken 5 min to look up the information. This business doesn't seem to care about its clients.
