I had a lot of hope my experience with this place would prove to be worthwhile. I genuinely wished…read moreto be a long term customer, if the service was trustworthy and quality. Unfortunately, that was not the case. My tax preparer was Leonard Gbekie, he started friendly and then afterwards was not respectful. Refused to answer my calls, was continuously unclear. Then after l asked for a call he ignored my request and proceeded to text me. Then after I requested once again the next day he proceeded to respond condescendingly. And further refused to clarify. As a member of the military, I do value clear communication and promptness. Both of which Leo failed to meet. I asked for my documents back and to discontinue business with which he responded by further trying to speak down on me. He was what felt like continuously rude, inconsiderate, and unkind. I genuinely would veer away from doing business with their company. Do your research and take your business elsewhere. I paid almost $1000 dollars for my taxes to be completed and the service I got was absolutely awful. Do not make the same mistake. Update: I was willing to leave this review and leave with my refund and move on. But upon stumbling across Mr. Gbekie's response which felt dishonest, I believe more details are necessary for my honest review. I want the truth about my experience to be shared His response felt like an attempt at discrediting myself, misguiding others, and trying to save face. One thing I cannot support is anyone or business I feel is dishonest in any form. Accountability is what I value and respect, that was not given to me here with this business. At every step I tried to be communicative, understanding, and kind. I was never late, always respectful, and very clear in communication when he unfortunately overstepped a boundary. I did not threaten him once. After repeatedly letting him know he had burned our business relationship and lost my trust, I repeatedly asked for a refund. He was acting shady and refusing to do so. At that point I let him know I will 100% get law enforcement involved in order to right the situation and protect myself. Below are simply texts indicating how I communicated. I was polite, short, and sweet. And then once my trust was lost and I found myself having to explain information based on what I perceived as his lack of understanding and distrust-worthy behavior. From changing hours listed on their google, to forcing me to text in the first place, to talking down on me. Lots of what felt like condescending, and shady behavior. My text responses are reflective of the trust that was there and then shift once it was lost. Anything else perceived in my messages is purely up to speculation to the reader. But as far as my intention in these messages are simply to show the truth of how I my texts changed based on trust as well as me repeatedly asking for a refund. This review is in no way meant to dissuade future customers, or to put down Mr. Gbekie's character. Simply to outline the truth of my experience and perception of him. I personally will never conduct business with him as I feel he is untrustworthy. That is all. Form your own opinions and perception of him with your own experiences.

It's not a big store, but it is packed with journaling supplies, self-restoration tools (e.g., career exploration cards), cars, and items that would make really excellent gifts for family members and work colleagues. I found the perfect card for a friend about to have a baby with the kind of funny note on the front that let's both of us know, I know her. For the BuJo fans out there, the store has a wall of colorful pens and a large basket of different washi tapes plus several kinds of notebooks and journals.

Given how picky we are about art and how long it takes us to get art up, that's saying a lot. The style and colors are perfect and it's a great way to remember other parts of our lives. My only complaint is that they don't have more maps to buy. As somebody who lives in the burbs of DC (I know, judge all you want), I had to pick between DC proper or past cities I'd lived in. It would be really cool to have maps of some of the closer in burbs.

Samantha was easy to work with from start to finish and was able to stay professional despite the long lines at the party (I mean, how could you not want something so beautiful as a keepsake?). I could picture using her for corporate events, bridal showers, baby showers and any other celebration that could you a personalized twist. She can write on any material and even engraves on glass! I have not had the chance to check out her Intro to Hand Lettering classes yet but for now, I'll leave it to the pros. Painted Palettes is simply the best!

A couple months ago, my friend Kim and I took an Intro to Hand Lettering class with Samantha at Steadfast Supply in DC. Oh that rush hour traffic and $20 parking was sooo worth it! Turns out, Samantha used to be a teacher, and it shows in the way she articulates the class. It was easy to follow her instructions, and she was very hands-on with showing examples. Plus we got a pretty decent set of tools and goodies to take home with us! Since, I've purchased some of her watercolor artwork to hang at home. I am such a fan! The artwork can be found on her website or in various shops in the area. And her classes are actually affordable! Next I want to take her Pointed Pen class!

I selected Etcetera based on a call with Joaquim during which he displayed insights into the specific needs of the technical language involved which reassured me that his team was professional. I was also impressed by the service aspects: quick turnaround and express mailing of the document plus notary certification within two days. (In contrast, one service I called in California was vague and who didn't even "hear" on the phone that I was living in Washington DC not Washington state. This is enough to raise questions in my estimation as to their specificity and detail-execution.) Within a short time of sending my letter to Joaquim, I received an email in response and within two days had the express mailed documents in hand. The extra mile they went, to verify the medical terminology with their Spanish editor/translator was appreciated. The price for the meticulous and professional service was fair. I enjoy leaving positive Yelp reviews for businesses such as this that do a terrific job. I intend to use their services again when I need important legal paperwork.
