Called to set up an appointment to get my taxes done - Jack said he didn't have an office and that he worked out of his house. I told him I had already been to his office. We set up an appointment for him to do my taxes on 3/25/22. I went to his office and waited outside for a half hour and again he was a no show. I left two phone messages asking him to call me. Never received a return call. Now I have to scramble to find someone to do my taxes - I'm not very happy with Jack at this point.

I had been trying help my…read moreMother with her taxes for years but to no avail and she was in all kinds of trouble with the IRS. She is 76 and things like taxes overwhelm and confuse her, so we went to Mr. Ding for help. He took the jumble of tax information my Mother gave him and helped us not only negotiate a deal with the IRS but also explained everything to my Mother in simple easy to understand terms. Over the past three years Mom has paid all her back taxes and now actually gets a tax return! Instead of tax time being a nightmare for Mom she now looks forward to a nice tax return! Thanks Mr. Ding! PS: Mr Ding now does taxes for me and my daughter too!

They are professional, engaging, compassionate and kind. They were completely open to any and all questions we had for them at any time.

The Gullota Law Group has been a real asset for my wife and I as we moved from the midwest, Chicago…read moreto Northern California most recently to Sonoma. We had our estate plan that was developed for us in Chicago and had to be changed due to our residency in California. We came to Eric Gullotta through our real estate agents and had him checked out through our long time attorney in Chicago and we decided to have Eric redo all of our trust documents. He was fantastic. He redid our trusts, changed our wills, created power of attorney documents and Healthcare Directive. The documents and the delivery were thorough, concise, complete and were communicated clearly. We had to change the documents this past year due to some changes we wanted to make. Eric, determined the best and most economical method to do just what we wanted. Throughout the process, we found Eric and his firm to be completely committed to assisting us, determining the best method, the most complete and competitive fee and treated us with respect and appreciation. I don't how much more I can say to recommend the Gullotta Law Group other than to say use them, you will be happy and satisfied.

Sandra is a talented CPA as well as a good human being. When I found myself having trouble with the…read moreIRS, she expertly navigated the maze of issues I found myself dealing with and provided expert advice. But more than that, when I was facing a deadline to have the IRS remove the levy on my salary, she dropped her entire workload that afternoon, waited on hold for an hour, then negotiated the release of the levy--something most other high-powered tax attorneys we talked to couldn't promise they could do for thousands of $$$ more. I highly recommend Sandra to others for her competence and her sheer chocolatey goodness. :)

I had the same accountant/tax preparer for almost 50 years until he retired last year. After…read moreresearching tax preparers near me, I decided on MM Tax Preparers in Pinole. I feel very lucky to have found them. My tax preparer there was Ana Cardona. I was very impressed with the process they have there and especially Ana. She was very precise as well very knowledgeable about tax preparation. I learned things about my tax return that I had never known before. She answered all of my questions as well as going over my finished tax return with much detail. I brought all of the paperwork needed and we went over our tax return, line by line. What was also very impressive, after she entered my information into their tax program, we were able to complete the process right there and was told that our return would be submitted electronically that day. As our yearly tax refund is an important part of our yearly budgeting, to do this process so quickly was very unexpected and helpful. I would feel good about recommending MM Tax Preparers and, especially, Ana.

I came in for my appointment at 2pm and even though he saw me, he kept talking on the phone for another 20 min!! How RUDE! Finally after waiting on him he called me to his desk but gave me a BUNCH of WRONG information and how I'm going to owe taxes etc when I knew that was incorrect, he proceeded to act like he was in a rush and trying to get rid of me!! I had to open my phone and show him my research on HOW TO FILE THE ADDITIONAL FORM! What's up with that!??? You're supposed to be the tax professional!! After I told him how it should be filed, he said that will be $400 after his employee Daisy had quoted me $300-350 which is still WAY too HIGH! I was SO MAD AND FELT ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS MAN, so I decided to bring my husband with me when it was time to pick up my amended taxes. When Mauricio saw me come in with my husband, he IMMEDIATELY jumped up from his desk even though he was sitting with 2 clients and spoke to me like he was this nice professional!! WOW!! So that's how he treats women huh?!! I paid with my CC and got charged an additional 4% ($14)!! Highway Robbery!! I called later and asked to speak with him (because obviously I wasn't happy with my experience with him) and I was told he still had clients but that he would call me right back. The office closed for the day and I got no call back. So now here is your review Mauricio. You need to do better with your customer service and read up on what you should already know! Lastly stop trying to cheat people out of their money! After this horrible experience, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!
