Paul has been doing our taxes for about 30 years now. Prior to using Paul I attempted to do my own…read moretaxes with not so great consequences. For lack of better verbage, I screwed up royally. Paul refiled and adjusted/fixed all the mistakes I had made. I was also refunded the money I erroneously paid to the IRS due to my misunderstanding of tax laws. I need to clarify here in that it's not so much misunderstanding but more so weird wording on the forms.Anyway, he helped me out greatly and continues to do so now. This past August I needed to file a form. Tax offices are pretty much closed in August. This form was necessary for a legal issue. I was able to reach Paul and the form was filed within 24 hours. Cost - $35.00. Can't say enough about his knowledge and willingness to work with his clients.

Paul is one of the nicest guys I have ever met, but unfortunately he and his staff are completely…read moreincompetent. I struggled for 4 years, with the IRS, to correct a tax return that Paul and his staff initially completely botched (not that demanding a return)! I will admit that the IRS owns some blame for their inability to communicate what error(s) Paul's team had originally made, and my mistake was to keep asking Paul to correct the error, that he obviously didn't understand in the tax code from the beginning. Needless to say, four years later I am out over $20,000 dollars, which is part interest due to Paul making errors on not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 documents he prepared on my behalf, including the final amended return which had a simple mathematical error that almost caused the IRS appeal to come undone, and left me in a compromised position while negotiating with IRS appeals staff. When I contacted him through a small claims action to get him to at least pay the interest that his mistakes had partially caused, he refused to accept blame. Do yourself a favor and steer way clear of this agency!!

This place is truly mind boggling…read more The firm markets itself as the "go to" accounting firm for tax resolution which can be such an intimidating and scary situation. One would expect timely responses to communications and excellent follow up. You will get neither here. In fact, you will get ZERO responses to pretty much any communication you make - to the point that it almost starts to seem like a joke. You can use the portal they ask you to use to send messages and you will get ZERO replies. You can use their direct emails and you will get ZERO replies. You can call and every once in a while get an assistant who will set up a zoom meeting for a week later. When you do get an answer to something, it will contradict previously received information. The worst however, is that they disregarded my very clear notes, written in bold, bright red text, and filed an incorrect tax return, under-reporting my income by 75% percent. For $1,500.00, I expect an accurate tax return to be filed. I had to find a new accountant to file a correction and will now be paying penalties and interest on the lost time. I assumed that the problem was my specific accountant, but when I wrote to the firm and cc'd all partners that I would not longer be working with them because of their abysmal performance, true to form I received...NO REPLY. No apology. No explanation. No acknowledgement. Nothing. Just the usual, bizarro Lawler & Witkowski crickets. They should be embarrassed.
