I highly advise avoiding this CPA. I had a very costly, negative experience…read more Due to a medical issue I had multiple years of back taxes to file, so I was in a hurry to get them in. I called Lawrence based on the positive yelp reviews, explained the situation, my income sources and the constraints to get them filed quickly to avoid issues. When I spoke on the phone before meeting in person, he quoted me a very competitive rate but left it open because he had to look at my actual filing (understandable). Once I arrived onsite, he presented a retainer with a much higher price per year that included a large variable range of potential cost per year. (Ex. Filing cost will equal $x - $2.5x per year depending on the work completed.) Because I had no other options, (admittedly this was my fault) I signed the retainer under the assurance that the "Should be easy to file". The process for filing and communicating information was via a series of back and forth emails that was time consuming and unorganized. Other tax preparers I have used sent organizers, not to mention the securing transfer of the files through a website, etc. to not have them exposed as attachments in email. The drawn-out process resulted in action being taken and when I reached out to Lawrence for help, he said he would be happy to call them on my behalf. This sounded like the best course of action because he claimed to have inner working knowledge of the IRS from experience. The result of his calls however came to a very unfavorable resolution because according to him the agent "wouldn't budge". I took his word on this, however after a couple months, out of desperation, I decided to call them myself to attempt to get a better resolution. I was able to quickly get a much better resolution with very little effort. This could just be chalked up to chance of me getting a nicer agent, however the two issues I have were 1) he discouraged me from trying to call them myself and 2) (Something he didn't communicate prior to calling them) he billed me much more for this additional time. After a three of the years were completed, I went to pick them up at his office. He presented me with an un-itemized bill. The bill was significantly higher than I had anticipated. He charged me the highest end of the range for each of the years (2.5x what I expected per year). When I asked him politely to explain why the bill was so high, he reacted very emotionally and said "You want me to take them back I will!" (Knowing they needed to be mailed off immediately). I explained that I wasn't implying the charges were wrong, I was just seeking an explanation for the charges. Because I was in a bind I decided to just pay it. I only had one more year to complete and then I could find a different CPA. The final year was again a long unorganized process and halfway through he sent me an email saying that he had identified something that involve more time to complete the filing and as a result the price would be 2x the original quoted cost (which was already high). This time I said I would not pay the additional amount because the costs kept changing, I just wanted him to get them completed quickly and could do an amended return later. His email response to this was again unprofessional but this time he decided to add a personal attack by saying "I did not total my car nor get behind on my tax filings."... (I"m not sure what the goal with this was, shame me into paying more? I came to him seeking help because I had gotten into a bind.) Needless to say, I decided to find a new cpa to complete the remaining year. I found a new CPA who handled the final year quickly, efficiently and for less than a 1/4th what Lawrence was attempting to charge me. I typically don't write negative reviews but felt compelled to in this case to warn people in my situation. I went based of the existing positive reviews and regret my decision.
