When my husband passed away, I was at a loss about legal and financial matters, but I knew that my…read morehusband had a lot of confidence in our estate planning lawyer, Douglas Delaney. Having Doug work with my son, my daughter and me made this very difficult journey of financial issues so much easier than I had imagined. Doug is a true professional, is prompt in his responses to questions and is also a very understanding and compassionate gentleman. I highly recommend Doug Delaney for estate planning and administration.

Atty Doug Delaney was the estate planner for my parents. I lost both my mom and dad within a short…read moreperiod of time and this was very difficult for me. It was immediately evident that the quality of forethought and planning he put into my parents estate was excellent. Prior to losing my dad, Doug came to dad's residence to help us sort through some issues. After my dad passed away, Doug guided me through the process, step by step. He answered every text, email and phone call immediately. When he sensed I was totally overwhelmed with the process, he coached me through it. When a difficult family situation arose, he counseled me on how to manage it. I would not hesitate to give Doug a high recommendation. My husband and I will continue to work with Doug for our own estate advice and planning.

Think twice before you use Paul Griz and his firm, Lighthouse Tax and Consulting, LLC…read more Through a quick telephone response to my initial phone inquiry, Paul Griz presented himself as prompt, professional, and knowledgable. As such, I contracted with him as the accountant to prepare and file paperwork for several probate cases I was overseeing. After the first two cases closed, Paul's response time with me quickly waned. At first I offered him grace since it was "tax season." But after several subsequent months, and multiple unreturned phone calls and unacknowledged emails, I was forced to include my attorney on correspondence with him. It was the most viable option for me to illicit any contracted correspondence or accounting guidance. At the time of my final phone call, Paul's secretary stated that he was, yet again, unable to speak with me and was in a closed-door meeting. She insisted that she'd given him all of my previous phone messages and told him of my emails, so I shared with her that I'd just sent Paul a final email and included my attorney. Miraculously, within less than five minutes, Paul was finally able to return my call. I readdressed my grievances that I stated in my final email, and we proceeded to discuss the accounting issues at hand. Having finished our call, I found it extremely unprofessional that Paul immediately sent me an email stating, "Our business relationship is now terminated effective immediately." Paul, you are in a service industry. If you and your firm are ever unable to deliver on your promises of timeliness, accuracy, and following through, the least you can do is let your clients know that you've overextended yourself. Only then might you be able to resurrect yourself, maintain your clientele, and receive admirable (both verbal and online) recommendations. Your emailed response severing any future business with me was not only uncouth, it was very telling indicating the low standards to which you hold yourself and your firm. The end result in how you handled this situation was a HUGE win for me, though. I have reconnected with my previous accountant in another state, and have been more than pleased that you terminated any attempt to earn my future business or verbal recommendation to possible clients. Ultimately, one's reputation does precede them.

Super people, top notch accountants, and always helpful. Its why I've stayed with them even after moving out of state. They've been so good that I feel a sense of loyalty to them, so I have to reply to the one negative review here. Accounting firms have lots of clients, some of these clients have been with the firm for many, many years, and tax preparers are already working on these returns as the tax deadline approaches. This other reviewer apparently thinks that by bringing his return in a month before the filing deadline, that his return should be given priority over everyone else's who had their info in months before him. Good firms are busy...don't wait until March to get your information in to any tax preparer if you are in a big hurry.
