Laura helped tremendously via divorce coaching. My spouse and I employed a mediation attorney in…read moreour own county, and each had our own attorney in our own county review the actual agreement once drafted. However, a few times along the way, I had questions and Laura was responsive and very clear in helping me understand things. Laura explains things better/more clearly than the other people I worked with. For example, she explained "reservation of jurisdiction" with more context and more thorougly than the mediation attorney and my own attorney, along with its limitations and scenarious where it has really made a difference, but did not subvert what the parties intended. I've also found valuable the general webinars where I'd heard Laura speak prior to engaging her help. Laura also helped with how to frame alternatives I was presenting. She was very sensitive to the emotional tone that we wanted to maintain (our goal was having a divorce that honored our marriage and where we had no regrets about the manner/process of the divorce itself), and suggested phrases that captured things in the warm and constructive tone that was my goal.

So they did my taxes and did them accurately. I'm not so sure that they saved me any money, but…read morethey didn't cost me any extra either. The problem came when the IRS did not post my final payment. I received a bill from the IRS saying that I owed them over $2000. I sent the letter and the proof of payment to them and asked them what happened? They told me that I had to call the IRS to find out why they didn't post my payment. I even reverified that they were not going to make that call for me. My taxes are complicated, and I have had a CPA prepare my taxes and electronically file them every year for the past 30 years. Things like this don't happen often, but when they do THE CPA IS THE ONE WHO CALLS THE IRS ON MY BEHALF!! If there were an error on the preparation of the document, then I would have been at a loss to explain it. I ended up waiting on the phone for 4 hours and was able to get it straightened out myself. However, I am now looking for another accounting firm because this is not the level of service I require. At the same time, as I said, they prepared my taxes accurately, so I don't think it's fair to give them just one star. I'm not sure I would recommend them though, just based upon the fact that they aren't going to help you if anything goes wrong.

This is the best UPS store in the area. I've been going here for years - the employees (and there…read moreare many of them) are SUPER happy to help and always going the extra mile. Always. Thank you Jeff! You've grown a great business. They don't over charge, and help get you the best price on whatever you're needing. I've used them to hand in return packages, make copies, get documents notarized as well as drop off my bag of used Nespresso pods. This week I even got help dragging 4 huge boxes from my car. In fact, another customer (who said he's been going here for 20 years) heard me ask for help and joined the procession out to my car to help as well! Where on earth do you get this kind of service??? And wonderful people who are willing to pitch in? Helpful employees breed helpful customers. Anyway, I can't say enough about this UPS store. None others compare.

I had a very disappointing experience working with John Messina and would not recommend Van Riper &…read moreMessina CPAs based on my experience. I was referred to John due to the complexity of my 2021 tax return, but my return was ultimately prepared by another member of the team. An error on the return later resulted in an IRS audit and over $1,500 in penalties and interest, which I paid in full. Following this, I had significant difficulty getting timely responses or assistance despite multiple follow-ups. Overall, this experience caused me to lose confidence in the firm's attention to detail and client communication. Based on my experience, I would recommend carefully considering other CPA options in the San Diego area.

Upon calling, she answered a few of my questions but continuously referenced me to the website in which i did have open. I proceeded to mention that chatting is easier for me to understand and will look at the website after. As i paused a bit, she commented that if i didnt have any other questions, there are a lot of phone calls coming in. Well, if the initial encounter isn't good, i cant imagine the rest.
