Tom Howard is utterly incompetent, completely unprofessional and astonishingly unethical. I hired…read morehim to represent me for my divorce and eventual bankruptcy. I did not know when i hired him that he had been suspended from practicing law in RI in 2006. My bad for not doing my homework though he had been recommended to me by a "friend" who was also a lawyer. I can honestly say Howard made a miserable time in my life about 100 times worse. I have filed 2 separate complaints against him with the RI Disciplinary board. Where should i begin? He filed the paperwork in the wrong county, delaying the whole process by a couple of months, as well as making other paperwork errors. He missed or failed to interpret text in the draft marital settlement that would have had severe negative impacts on custody of my child and cost me thousands of dollars in taxes. He barely communicated with me. He was completely intimidated by my husband's attorney and agreed to everything she proposed without countering or consulting me. He never even edited or marked up the marital settlement drafted by my husband's attorney, he just relied on my comments to propose changes. He kept me waiting for 1 1/2 hours at his office for a meeting while he went home to change his clothes and get his motorcycle. He never provided me with any written information about his fees, hourly rate, etc or a contract for his services. I fired him in October 2013 and am still waiting, now end of January 2014, for an itemized invoice for services rendered and a refund of the unused portion of the $3,000 retainer i paid him for divorce and a future bankruptcy - despite emails, texts and a letter from myself and one from my current attorney. Last but not least, he accepted a credit card check from me, from a credit card in my name, to represent me for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (sometime in the next 6-12 months). Can you say UNETHICAL? Hiring him would be a complete waste of your time and money. He SUCKS!

He cranked through them quickly, answered our questions clearly, and ultimately charged a very reasonable fee. The things I liked best about working with him: * He came to our house on a Sunday afternoon for the initial consultation - that saved us a lot of time since we have kids and work full-time * He is extremely responsive on email * He isn't too old school - he was able to share files using dropbox, scan paper docs, and generally work with us electronically. Not too many phone calls, paper docs, etc that the old school guys still rely on. * His final bill was very reasonable I don't write a lot of yelp reviews, but this was a super positive experience so I thought I'd share.

Complete rip-off, and she rudely asked if I was "expecting" twice. I sincerely hope that at least…read morewas a miscommunication, even if everything else was blatantly bad business. We went to an advertised "free" consultation. I asked a question, and was told it would cost $139 and turn into a tax consult if she answered. So, the free consultation didn't allow us to ask any questions, or else it would become a consultation and cost money...? Make it make sense. I said I understood, she didn't need to answer, yet at the end, after NOT answering my question about realtor commissions counting for cost basis when calculating capital gains, and telling us a tax document was incorrect and sending us on a wild goose chase (it said at the top DOES NOT CONTAIN STATE TAX INFORMATION yet she told us my husband's employer misreported his state tax info, which both other accountants I interviewed caught and explained immediately), she still surprised us with a $139 bill. We paid to avoid a scene as she had other clients, but do plan to reach out and ask for a refund, as we never agreed to pay after being advertised a "free" consult- that contained multitudes of bad information regardless! We were going to be MASSIVELY overcharged had we gone with her, as she was over 10x the price of the lowest option and nearly 10x the price as the next most expensive option, that included audit insurance. We had moderately complicated taxes, due to capital gains on a house. We are not self employed, do not have any investments, own a business, or have any other complicating factor to justify the insane price we were quoted. It took her the full hour to sort through our documents and she still wasn't near done- other accountants ranged from 45 min- 1 hour for a complete consult. She was going to charge us approximately $5,000. Other accountants quoted us from $300-600. (We went with H+R Block due to their audit insurance for an estimated total of $600, which still very much on the high end for filing taxes.) And before anyone assumes miscommunication- she gave us a printed bill with estimated charges totaling $4896. That was not our estimated tax burden, that was HER fee to file our taxes. During the free consults with the other accountants, they both answered all my questions (like one does during a free consult...) and both accountants pointed out factual errors in what we had been told. (See above, some 2024 W2s put state tax information on a separate page/document, and she was unaware of this change, for the most stressful example.) Anne Shade insisted we had to file extra paperwork and called it "difficult" when you sell and buy a house in the same tax year- even though most people who sell a house buy another to have a place to live- and both other accountants explained that in our case we only had to file paperwork on the first house, and any paperwork related to the newly acquired house would only matter when we go to sell. She also gave us information disputed by both other accountants and my own research about the medical exemption to capital gains tax, and the amount of up-front documentation needed to claim that exemption. She was going to file, and charge us for, a ton of unnecessary documents. I do not know how this "free" consult went so horribly off the rails. But I am not the only review online with a claim of being overcharged to file unnecessary documents.

On a whim, I went to H&R Block because I'd gone last year while living in New York and had a good experience. Unfortunately, such was not the case this time. The woman at the front desk was very nice. She set me up with someone to do my taxes, which is where it went downhill - it was clear that English was this woman's second language. I have no doubt she was a smart person who knew way more about tax law than me, but she couldn't understand half of what I was saying. I had to repeat and spell simple words for her multiple times. There was no one else available to take care of me, so I asked her if I could just take my stuff and go. She got angry, and got her manager for me (who did speak English). I explained the situation, and she said I was fine to leave. I'm sure she's wonderful at helping Spanish-speakers with taxes, and she was very nice.
