He helped us sort out a mess the IRS years back with relation to ISO stock and AMT (pre-Tax and Jobs Act) that we are forever grateful for and have been going to him since. From a cost perspective, KPR is reasonable for a seasoned professional in the upper level with a service touch. On the service side, Annabelle has been amazing in providing that extra care and attention to details to remind us of milestones.

I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

I wish I could put a zero here. Don't be ripped off by their…read moredishonest and dilatory services. Over the phone, they quoted me $300 for half-day per diem, but they eventually charged me $700. That's not the end of the story. One week later, when I requested an "expedite" transcript for 10 days' delivery, they could NOT even deliver it, although the hearing lasted less than one hour and they claimed they could have next day or 2nd-day delivery. Furthermore, they attempted to charge me additionally $735 for 14 days' delivery. Can you believe that? Be aware that their written quote is marked with "confidential," which means you will be ripped off one way or the other, in a secretive way.

LEGAL PROFESSIONALS THAT YOU'LL LIKE…read more There's a great book titled, "Disorder In The Court". I've seen quotes from it for years. It has compiled funny or unusual quips from deposition transcripts and other court documents. I honestly enjoy reading legal documents so I imagine it was very fun to put together. In reality, the depositions we usually see rarely have funny excerpts! While attending paralegal school a handful of years ago, I became a member of Mt. Diablo Legal Professional's Association. I attend meetings one a month in order to meet other legal professionals and people who work in the industry. This is where I became better familiarized with Certified Reporting Services. I've worked for a firm in Walnut Creek for 7 years so I had heard their name before. Their certified reporting service provides a court reporter for your most important depo needs! Our office doesn't have to take a lot of depos but when we do, it's so nice to be able to work with a company like CRS. Scheduling is easy and they make rooms available at their location, if needed. Their building in Martinez is actually very pretty. Even the floors have beautiful designs! Their business center includes secure war rooms in addition to the conference rooms. We haven't used the Video Capturing feature they offer with depos but it's wonderful to know a high-quality video is available. Wendy and the other staff at CRS are incredibly professional. Wendy and Will regularly attend the monthly MDLPA meetings. They are the kind of people who go out of their way to come say hello and ask you how you're doing. Very genuine. Our company likes doing business with sincere and courteous legal professionals - and CRS hits the mark every time!

Maile is all of those things. I enjoy our coaching sessions and I love how she guides me to hammer out concrete goals and the steps that I need to take to reach them. In addition, Asentiv has some great classes taught by Maile and I have learned so much. I have learned how to interact with different personality types and how to talk about my business when I introduce myself to successfully convey what I do. I am a people person and networking and getting to know people feels natural to me. It almost doesn't feel like something so fun could produce results. But it does! I have noticed a steady stream of referrals starting to happen and I love that I have a plan to help make myself successful. If you have your own business and are looking for a coach to help you increase sales and help you be more successful, I highly recommend Maile Collmer with Asentiv.

Maile is an absolute referral marketing powerhouse! I had…read morethe recent pleasure of attending her popular Room Full of Referrals workshop in Pleasant Hill, CA. She uses individual surveys and interactive activities to guide you, and the room of people with you, through the discovery process of how we interact with others, and how we prefer to be approached. This goes deeper than just finding out where you are on the sliding scale of Extrovert to Introvert. It's a discovery of where you land in your communication style, and allows great insight into how you can more effectively "scope out a room" and approach potential referrals in a way that feels natural and respectful to them. I highly recommend it!
