Stephen did an excellent job with our taxes! We had lots of moving parts in our taxes this year and…read morethe last, so he reviewed last years' taxes, too, just to make sure we were good to go. He explained things as he looked them up, was easy to talk to, and got them done quickly. I had used Coastal Tax a long time ago when they were a lot easier, so I was glad they are still open in Georgetown and I didn't have to go to some chain like the masses. Ultimately, I like to support locally-sourced businesses :)

I have used Joan Hodges CPA for many years. She is very professional, extremely detailed, and her…read morepricing is very fair. She is wonderful...

My experience with Joan M. Hodges has unfortunately been misleading & very costly due to her…read moremistakes and her gross lack of professionalism. I paid her last year, as I have every year since 2009 to do my taxes. I recently received a notice from the IRS, she made a mistake. I went to her office two weeks ago & brought her the letter. She said she would call me in a couple of days. I called her again yesterday, she was very rude over the phone saying she did not have time to look over my paperwork. She also said she had not done a thing regarding this mistake she made. There was no remorse or empathy in her voice or anything she said. She did not say when or even if she would care to help me with a problem she caused. This mistake she made is easy for her to fix and she is leaving me in the dark to figure her mistake out on my own. As a result, thousands of dollars owed to the IRS due to her carelessness. Do not let her Southern "charm" fool you. She is not kind, she is just looking out for herself and she will not fix the problems she causes. Please do not trust her with something as precious as your finances. I wish someone would have warned me. There are plenty of reputable CPA's that back their work up and care enough to fix the mistakes they may make. Caring for her clients is not the work ethic of Joan M. Hodges.

Although there are many players to be wary of in the land of financial advisers and wealth…read moremanagement, Ellis O'Tuel is most definitely not one of them! Ellis took the time to get to know us personally, and then only after fully grasping our near-term financial needs and long-term goals did he begin to work with us towards structuring a strategy that appropriately addresses both. We could not be more pleased with Ellis and Hammock Wealth Management, proven by the fact that we have referred close friends as well as our young adult children.
