In the fall, she reviews my health needs and advises on the best Medicare insurance to meet my needs. Recently, Beth has been helping me with a handyman problem. I had new windows installed in my kitchen. About a week after they were installed, I discovered that they didn't close right and the company ignored my request for them to fix it. Beth has sent letters to the BBB and the Attorney General. We're still waiting on the Attorney General. I live alone; I'm elderly and I am not as sharp as I used to be. Beth has been a real asset. I don't know what I would do without her.

He should have just told me he didn't want to do them. I never got any reason why. Needless to say, due to late fees and not getting a return I should have, I lost about $20k with Kevin. This guy needs a new profession because he sucks at this one.

He has done our business for the past 6 or 7 years and last year he took all the info, locked my accounting software into accountants mode and then vanished.

Lawyer Chris Burke from Grasso, Grasso & Rodriguez offered to represent me in a case that was…read moreborderline small claims court ... A large chain store installed material improperly causing about 3000$ worth of property damage. They won't return my calls, all calls are taken by a receptionist who says my lawyer is 'unavailable'. I get an excuse every time; owner's wife is sick, lawyer on vacation, not available, not in town, not here, I have received 0 updates on how my case is progressing. I have practically begged them for some information. They didn't have to take this case, but they agreed and took my case, asking for cash up front. It has been almost a year since my initial and only consultation. This is criminal, and inexcusable. Now i am faced with not only my original case being unresolved but, taking them to court also. Totally unprofessional.
