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.

They then called and said they used up the $1500 and would need $1500 more. At that point I researched the law myself- took no more than 1/2 hour in google searches and determined they had given me incorrect advice and I didn't need to complete the form. Upon calling them back, they said yes of course I didn't need to submit the form. But they had already spent $1500 in what seemed to me trying to find ways to charge me more. Seems unethical to me.

Unfortunately this firm mixed my bank account with another client, this having me receive two…read morerefunds. Instead of righting the wrong, I was asked to write a personal check to the client rather than having the firm account for their error. The first problem is that my data was given in error to another client. The second problem is that I was asked to write a personal check to their client. No ownership was taken for the mistake. I instead had the errant monies refunded to the IRS, which is the proper channel. Certainly more tedious for the other client, but the right thing to do. This firm's suggestion of me writing a personal check put me in potential auditing by IRS for "double dipping" if you will, as it would show me having two refunds in the same year. I have made my complaint to the board of accounting for the state of Maryland. I would suggest treading lightly given the lack of discretion and ethics used by this firm. I have moved on to a much more sound practice.

ALAS, 2 MONTHS LATER SHE IS GOING BACK ON "HER WORD" WHICH IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED... AGAIN, ALL SHE NEEDS TO DO IS HONOR HER WORD, NOT STRING ME ALONG FOR 2 MONTHS WITH A LIE! READ THE TEXT MESSAGES AND DEFINITELY DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH DONNA DELUZE!!! May 2, 2025 Me: Donna, it's 4 pm, and I expected to hear back from you earlier this afternoon as you promised I would. Yesterday, I got off the phone with DC OTR at 11:26am, I started making calls to the IRS at 7:07am... I was and am beyond upset and stressed out because, as I've tried to convey multiple times, I can't afford to have any issues with the IRS or local govt since I am a federal employee and one with a high level security clearance. Moreover, I can't afford any penalties, so I went ahead and made the payments yesterday directly. I spent my entire morning making calls - being transferred and on hold - all to pay money that had been sitting ready to be collected since April 15th. I had to spend my entire morning, by myself, while at work, doing the research to figure out what happened and why the money had not yet been collected. I even had to pay penalties and fees that I've now been accessed unnecessarily only to speak with you after all that and be treated in such a dismissive and demeaning way. And for you be come out and say this was my fault is Outrageous!! Again, I am a federal employee, and with all that is going on in/with the federal government, you don't think I know the stakes for me? You don't think I know my own bank account number? I know and tried to stress to you that it is imperative that my taxes are filed and paid, if owed, properly. Your stance of cutting me off and implying that the increased anxiety I'm feeling, which has been super induced by this situation, is unwarranted, is beyond insensitive, and just plain rude and disgusting. I've never been treated in such a way or dismissed by anyone I paid for a service! I am incredibly offended, and to be honest, utterly surprised! To blame me on top of everything; I can't understand how you would even think to treat a customer that way and a first-time customer at that! You added insult to inquiry in a way I never would imagine, but you did, and it's not okay or appreciated. Mistakes happened, but you started pointing fingers before trying to look into anything when you, yourself, began by making a number of them during our appointment. I had to slow you down several times to point out and correct numbers you entered incorrectly as we went through my return. You even riped up my 2023 tax return that wasn't prepared by you as you rushed through. You were over an hour late for my scheduled appointment without giving me any notice that could possibly be the case. You were short and in many ways rude in the things you said to me, but I dealt with it all, which was a lot for me, especially as a new customer meeting you for the first time. Before I made the appointment, I attempted to call you to discuss my situation. I tried to explain that I am the sole caregiver for my mother and tried to explain why timing was important and certain things regarding the return, nonetheless I had to make provisions for someone to see after my mother since I was over two hours plus late getting back to her. Again, Donna, I dealt with all of it and didn't complain when I should have! All this, especially from my perspective as a customer just meeting you, has been a lot to deal with, but I have. And now, you blame me and tell me your error is my fault, leave me to track down what's going on, blame everyone under the sun yet take none of your own, leave me to pay all the penalties as if you had no part in it, and pay you too - that's too far for anyone! You wouldn't accept this kind of treatment yourself or for your family!!! I was referred to you by a coworker and friend, Donzell Fxxxxx, as someone who was reputable and valued their customers, but for the life of me I can't understand why I haven't been treated that way! I was looking/hoping for a tax preparer that I could grow with and would keep for years to come. If this is how you do business - No Thank You! I'll let Donzell know how things ended. You take care, Donna, be well! Donna: OK, I'm traveling to visit my son who is a naval officer on my vacation after my tax season. I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can. I'm literally in Fort Lauderdale driving to Jacksonville. Me: Donna, just to recap our call just now... As you stated, you will mail me a check in the amount of $395 for the amount you charged to prepare the tax return upon your return
