Communication was virtually nonexistent. After the initial conversation with Charles, we never…read morespoke to another human being until I picked up our returns from the receptionist -- and this involved a business, a trust, and four separate tax returns. Not once did anyone contact us with questions, explanations, or comments throughout the process. The end result was that we paid more in taxes this year than we have in the previous 35 years combined. If you prefer no communication and want to feel like just another file number, this may be the firm for you. However, if you expect responsiveness, guidance, or even basic interaction, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Keep in mind that any conversation with a staff member will cost you $350 per hour, even for something as simple as correcting a misspelled name , with billing applied accordingly.
