RUDE, ARROGANT, DISRESPECTFUL, DEMEANING over a simple mistake and follow-up.
My wife's family has known Craig for years, so we decided to give him a try this year. At first, we were impressed that he was able to find several deductions we didn't even know existed. Although he didn't really seem super knowledgeable about all the current laws and such, we overlooked that when things fell into place and it turned out he was getting us a refund.
However, an IRS glitch caused our E-file return
to be rejected. That's when the trouble started -- Craig Curtis partner sent in our paper return without ever asking for our signatures and without our W-2s. This ended up costing us TWO FULL MONTHS on getting our refund, and my wife had to spend HOURS on the phone with the IRS.
We sent them a message inquiring about it, and we got no response. Another message -- no response. Finally my wife called to see what was going on at Craig's office. After being treated VERY rudely by the receptionist, she finally got Craig on the line. And he was EXTREMELY rude to her, demeaning and disrespectful, basically treated her like an idiot. (My wife is the smartest person I know.) Sure, we wouldn't mind a discount, but mostly we just wanted to know what happened. He was horribly arrogant, repeatedly asking her "What percentage of this is our fault?"
I will NEVER return to this so-called CPA again, and I'd advise everyone to STAY AWAY. read more
