I used to use national chains like H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt to have my income taxes prepared…read more Because I got sick of paying the exorbitant amount of money these companies charge me for simple tax returns, I reached out to several local companies. Everything went very smoothly from start to end with Nissen and Associate. McKenzie, the office assistant, responded to my inquiry promptly. It was easy to set up an intake appointment with one of their tax preparers, Michelle. I dropped off my tax documents with Michelle. She emailed me with a couple of questions before finishing up my return. I swung by the office and signed a couple of documents to authorize them to file taxes on my behalf, and that's it! Painless! Because Michelle was able to give me a great discount, I paid significantly less than I paid H&R least year. I only interacted with McKenzie and Michelle, but they are both friendly yet professional. I loved that I never felt rushed or they never tried to upsell anything (like other companies I mentioned above). I highly recommend Nissen and Associates! If you end up using their service because of my review, don't forget to mention Masanori sent you!

Not only did they secure everything I wanted during the settlement conference, but they also skillfully avoided the need for a costly and stressful trial. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication and hearts of gold made all the difference in my case. I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a divorce attorney who will fight for your best interests and save you time and money, Joshua Bruner is the right chose! I honestly never thought that my case would be settled in a settlement conference I thought it was for sure they go to trial. I do not believe any other attorney could've actually made this happen and all they cared about was really what was best for me.. I am so thankful that God brought them into my life. I will be thankful for them every single day because their hard work, caring and dedication literally ensures that my children and I will have a great life. Thank you so much Joshua and Chellie

Every year the person at the employment office reach me back the description from the year before and we edit it. within 5 to 6 hours of posting the ad I receive 6 to 10 calls from students looking for a job. that's cool. Is that where is responsible for selecting a good student. keep waiting on students. I interview about three or four of the applicants who called me. a few weeks ago I decided to hire two young men and have them split my part-time handyman work around the house. Boy am I glad! Michael is master of machinery and thinks methodically. He is a self starter. Devin is happy doing tedious, repetitive and mundane chores. Both young men are so chipper . that youthful optimism almost makes me want to puke except they are always bringing me things to make my life easier with their own initiative. I could call them anytime and tell them it's an emergency and they would be here to help me. I had such great luck with all but one student. you know how to say the right things but I stupidly believe him when he said he knew how to work with gardening tools when he literally did not know what a lawn mower, edger, barn or plum were. I'm paying him by the hour and I find him wandering around on my back acre. I sent him to get some plums from my plum tree by the barn. I asked him if he knew what a plum was and he said no. I informed him that I had told him the plums were by the barn and then I asked him to point to the bone that he was standing by but he had no idea what a bond was... Kinds of games went on all the time. he destroyed a tractor mower that had 50 hours on it. That was Western Washington University student employment fault it was my fault for believing him. don't assume people can speak English because they graduate from that school
