I received a letter from this "law firm" in April 2018 saying they could save me money by appealing…read moremy real estate assessment and that the fee would be 50% of the savings in the first year. I contacted them to begin the process and was told I needed to get an appraisal done (at a cost of $425) which I agreed to. I then paid $25 for the appeal process for a lawyer to file the paperwork. In November 2018, I received a letter from the Chester County Board of Appeals that my appeal had been dismissed because of a "failure to appear" which the lawyer was supposed to do on my behalf. After calling ACCL multiple times, I was told to contact the lawyer they subcontracted this out to and he couldn't give a valid reason for the letter repeatedly saying he was there. About 6 months later, ACCL finally told me that he showed up late and they would file a claim and it could take up to 5 YEARS! I received another letter from them in April 2019 and when I spoke to them they agreed to process the appeal again in 2019. This time I received a letter from the Chester County Board of Appeals in November 2019 saying that "As a result of your decision to withdraw the appeal...your appeal has been dismissed". Shockingly, I never wanted my appeal to be withdrawn. So I spoke to the same lady at ACCL and she told me she wanted to withdraw the claim from 2018, not 2019, and that she would work to correct it and get back to me. Not surprisingly, I never heard back from them. I tried to call the office again today and was told she would have to get someone to call me back because she was "working on a project and couldn't get into her computer to look it up". WHAT?!? Besides answering the phone on speakerphone and being totally unprofessional, I couldn't believe it. There are some good reviews for this company, but definitely not one I can recommend.

I did some work for the Payroll Factory not too long ago. It was the best company I ever worked for; the work was challenging and new to me but I was well helped and well rewarded. Full disclosure! I have a family member working there too and the company would insist I disclose that.That brings me quickly to what I liked mainly about them: they play a 'straight bat' as they say in the UK and practice what they preach regarding business ethics and 'follow through' practices without being 'starchy' about it. A rare combination. This is getting rarer in today's business world I am sorry to say and is becoming an issue of concern to me and others. Staff stay as long as they can and provide, consequently a hight level of service based on experience and knowledge. I think all the current staff have been there longer than five years and most more than fifteen. There is a running training program for professional development ingrained into the way the business is run.The ethos is to provide a custom built service with attention the details most companies miss: not a cookie cutter service. That ethos coincides with mine as it happens and maybe was why I fitted so well? I can recommend, especially, their approach to secure and solid IT though cannot reveal details of their measures. read more

That would at least be understandable.) When trusting someone with your finances, we expect someone who cares....which is why we chose a smaller Manayunk firm instead of one of the big Philly firms. Somehow, there seems to be no regard for customer care or personalized service...or any service for that matter.

I don't have time to chase people who I am paying to do a service for myself and my family. If you need further clarification of the situation, it's been almost a month since my first email, a week since my follow up email asking if he had an alternative preferred method of communication, and three days since I called his office and left a message. We had to file an extension, so we are-in fact-working under a deadline. This isn't the first time we've been disappointed with their professionalism...but it will be the last.
