The first thing you need to know is that you probably aren't seeing the full picture here on Yelp…read more MH is apparently aggressively patrolling their reviews and requesting takedowns on what I consider shaky grounds. MH complained about my review and got it taken down. If they complain again, I'll expand it more... Here is my revised review: I became a client of this firm in 2000 or 2001. Things went reasonably well for more than 20 years, when the firm was run by its founders, Martin and Hood. But they retired without notifying clients and some local newschick took over. She doesn't seem like a meticulous accountant, but rather more of a promoter or entertainer. I feel like she's probably fairly effective at scamming people. After the takeover, I received no notification. I found out when I tried to track down the CPA I'd been interacting with for more than 20 years. After reestablishing contact, I wound up with a new CPA. But then he quit and I received no notification. WTF? The next guy I had contact with was their comptroller. He was a major pointy object (trying to keep it clean for Yelp censors) and quite a cocky, overconfident guy. So based on what I know about this firm, I say: No, no, a thousand times no, you should not use this firm. There are hardworking accountants out there who want your business. Give your business to them, not MH. Here is Yelp's email to me: We're reaching out to let you know that our moderators removed your review of MH CPA. Your review was removed because it didn't include enough detail about your experiences as a customer of MH CPA. You're welcome to share more about your experiences to support your conclusions about the business in a new review. Here is the original review: No, no, a thousand times no. Martin and Hood founded this business in 1982. But they retired and sold it. Now some female former news anchor is running the show. Many of their seasoned employees have departed, and they seem to have a turnover problem since the news gal took over. As a bonus, they've got at least one very petulant jerk in their organization - the comptroller. There are some pretty decent people doing accounting. This firm does not employ them.

I took my taxes and my sons in 3 weeks ago. Tuesday, April 9th I called to enquire about our taxes…read morebecause of the late date. They had not notified me. I was told by the secretary that our taxes would be done before April 15th and that they would call me. The next day at 5pm I got a call from Wyatt, who prepared our taxes, that my taxes were ready. However he declined to do my son's taxes saying their minimum fee is $750 (which is an outrageous minimum) and that it would be too much for the small work to be done. While I appreciate the heads up, letting us know 3 weeks later at 5pm with 4 days till the deadline is terrible. I realized no one even looked over what I gave them till they got to my account. I do not recommend M|H to anyone. Especially taxpayers who have even more complex taxes then we did. They will get to you late and always use (like they've done with me in the past) doing extensions just because they don't get to you till a few days before the deadline. If you have not supplied them with enough info or something is amiss, it will be too lat I used to work with Mr. Martin and he was very good to talk to but he's retired.

I was referred to Terri Wetzel by my sister based on her positive experience. I, myself, have met…read morewith Terri on multiple occasions over the past few years regarding my finances. The advice and knowledge I've collected over the years has helped me to make informed decisions when mapping out the best way to distribute my money. As my finances have recently changed, I've regrouped with Terri to better understand options with my retirement fund. She speaks in terms that are easy to understand and explains the pros and cons to different options. After not speaking in over a year, she remembered everything from our previous meetings. She either takes some stellar notes and studies before meetings, or she really is as personable and interested in her clients as she appears. I haven't worked with anyone else at Chesser, so I can only speak from my experience with Terri. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

When Ken Mayol was at the helm it was a great place to have your taxes done. Not so now that Ken…read morehas retired. I was repeatedly lied to about when my taxes would be done this year and finally on tax day I was told an extension was filed. That was news to me. I had been lead to believe I would be signing them by tax day. I picked up my paperwork they had and took it to someone who had them done in 2 weeks. I know for a fact that as of today 06/27/2024, they still have paperwork to prepare that won't be looked at for a couple more weeks. Sad. Honesty is the best policy. I'd give them NO STARS.

10/10 DO NOT recommend…read more I was a happy customer of ATSI for years-not so in 2024. I take full blame for submitting my tax paperwork later than usual, which required an extension to be filed in mid-April. Fine, this is not the issue. June 28, I had not received any update about my tax preparation. I called their office and was horrified to hear the line was no longer in service (disconnected). Had they gone out of business? Where was my paperwork? Now, what do I do? I was verbally informed of the extension. However, I had no proof. Taking my time off work, I was forced to go to their office (and hope someone was there!) to request my paperwork and wait while they tried to locate it. I had to return the next day because they refused to provide a copy of the filed extension that my new preparer required. While I did not pay them to file the extension, I found this action to be extremely petty and further proof of poor customer service. I had reached out to a staff member via Facebook Messenger about the phone being disconnected, and they informed me that the phones would be down a couple more weeks. No one at ATSI contacted me by email or by phone with an update. When I mentioned in the office the reason for showing up and requesting my paperwork to take elsewhere, I was informed, "They won't use their personal cell phones." Folks, in 2024, there are NUMEROUS options to contact loyal and concerned customers! (EDIT: former loyal customers). Clearly, ATSI does not want or need my business. Disappointed is not a fair description of my feelings.

TLDR: Condescending man, couldn't be bothered with my inquiry. Just trying to get a consult fee…read morefrom me and wasn't interested in my needs. Especially if you're a woman, stay far away from this guy. I was referred to Meyer Capel law firm, and more specifically to Sam Limentato, from another lawyer. I wanted a post-nuptial agreement drawn up. I was informed via email that there is a $175 consultation fee. Totally fine, however, I had a few clarifying questions about if the fee is applied to the work and also the overall cost of drawing up a post-nup. I was then told by Sam that he could take a phone call (for free) to discuss. Great! However, then while on the phone, it was clear that he was unhappy and uncomfortable with taking the call. While on the call he appeared frustrated and annoyed with my questions, acted as if I had done something wrong for asking questions, and there was even a condescending and demeaning tone for most of the discussion. When I asked how much experience he has with drawing up pre/post-nups I was told with an air of superiority, "Let me put it this way. I was the presiding judge over all family law for several years." I'm not sure why he felt the need to then repeat this information at another point in the conversation, likely his own arrogance. Turns out he has only done about a dozen pre/post-nups, which he admitted on the call. He also felt the need to tell me twice that he did not need me as a client and he couldn't care either way if I moved forward with his services. Great way to draw in new business. He then chided me for asking clarifying questions about costs--questions anyone would have. The whole thing left me wondering why he offered me a phone call in the first place if he was so unwilling to participate. I didn't ask for a call, I asked a few clarifying questions and then he offered the call but then treated a potential client with disgust and derision. Needless to say, I did not move forward with his services. I would strongly encourage anyone to avoid this lawyer, especially if you're a woman.

I phoned them two weeks before my court date and set up an appointment for a consultation with Lauren McQueen, who claimed to be competent in the necessary legal specialty. Her secretary assured me that she was available to represent me on the Court date. However on the day of the consultation, I was informed Counselor McQueen would not be available to represent me in court, but they would be glad to take the fee for the legal consultation! Happily, Meyer Capel did finally refund their charge nine days later. I am changing my rating accordingly.
