We had tried another lawyer before her and they messed all his papers up, she was able to resolve the mess the other lawyer had created and get him his Permanent Residency.

I've utilized Jenny's services for a couple years now. We use QuickBooks, which isn't always…read moresuper-intuitive or user-friendly. I haven't had a single question or troubleshooting need that she hasn't been able to address. And at no point has she suggested a solution which ended up causing me any problems later. Her rates are very reasonable and her help is worth every penny. I'll have some weird issue, she'll have very timely availability (something that I don't expect, but it's sure nice), she'll help me through the solution in easy to understand language, and then I never think about it again. What more could I ask for?

I'm looking for a superlative good enough to describe Jenny Maxwell. I'm the founder of the…read morenonprofit Berkeley Chess School, and for most of our forty years in business, we did our bookkeeping in-house. We managed, but as the saying goes, we didn't know what we didn't know. At first hiring Jenny just seemed like a smart business decision. She's competent, meticulous, and has an extraordinary ability to explain and simplify complex tax and accounting rules and concepts for the layperson's ears. Suddenly we were in the world of best practices, and I couldn't have been happier. Then the pandemic hit, and like many small schools, we were back on our heels trying to serve students, keep staff employed, and wondering how, and in what form, our school would survive. Federal, state, and local governments responded with opportunities for aid, but programs were put together on the fly, and rules, definitions, and requirements for aid were unclear and in flux, especially in the early days. Jenny took the wheel of our financial ship, going far above and beyond of what any reasonable person might expect from accounting services. She identified opportunities, sought guidance from the SBA and other government entities, helped us fill out applications, monitored our compliance for all programs, and literally steered us to safe harbor. Jenny's understanding and application of the employee retention credit restored nearly a quarter of our lost revenue. I'm still searching for that superlative. Hire Jenny Maxwell!

Jim Hand is the best attorney that I've ever worked with, because he delivered more and cost less…read morethan I expected. He quickly brought a suit against an ex-client who owed my company over $20,000. They claimed they had no money and kept threatening bankruptcy. I had expected a settlement for a fraction of what they owed. Jim dealt with the bankruptcy attorney's threat of a tiny settlement by saying, "Blustering doesn't help, facts will." He discovered that my ex-client had more than enough money and collected all of what was owed me. When Jim found that my case didn't take as much of his time is he thought, he reduced his fee. He didn't need to do that; I would have gladly paid his full fee. Jim delivered more value than any other attorney I have worked with, by far.

Wow. I just had the best experience ever with an attorney.

We love our accountants! A L Nella has handled our personal and business accounting for almost a…read moredecade now. A lot of lawyers and accountants say they want to be your business partner, but our accountants here really take the time to understand the business. Over the years, they have guided us through some really tough decisions, including how to take risks in a smart way. They understand the complexities of running a business in San Francisco and trying to build something from nothing. During tax season, they're very good at working with you to get info quickly and make sure everything is complete and accurate. Outside of tax season, they're willing to meet with you to discuss long-range planning. Most important, I feel like I get great customer service, and am not just a record in their database. They are not cheap. If you are looking for somebody to do last minute taxes at a bargain rate, this is not the place. But if you have complex or ongoing accounting and financial planning needs, I think they are a total bargain.

A friend and legal advisor recommended this company to me, so my expectations were high. I was…read morespecifically referred to Joan, who I will say is very nice and quite personable. I did not expect that it would have taken so long, and so much of their time to get an answer to a very simple question regarding a 401k distribution, especially given the answer they gave me and the reasons behind it. I was like "Duh. It took over two weeks? I could have figured that out." Then came the bill! I expected it to be at most between $500-800, but it was over $1500. Given their awareness of my finances (or exceptional lack thereof), I would have expected them to give me a heads up of where the charges were heading, especially since they knew I didn't have that kind of money. It didn't hep that they scheduled one meeting which was entirely unnecessary, and which I still got billed for. Not once, in any of our meetings or email conversations, did she mention anything about rates. I expect to pay for professional services, but this was ridiculous. Needless to say, I will not be using their services again.

She compromised our identities because she mailed our tax returns to the wrong address TWICE! All of our confidential information is floating out there somewhere. She then blamed it on a family member who she stated was helping her with the tax preparation which we did not know about. She responded in a laissez faire fashion as we worried about filing our taxes late. We had to ask her to file an extension for us because she did not deliver her services in a timely fashion. She does business in Foster City during the tax season but lives somewhere around the Sacramento area. She hastily cashed our payment to her of almost $1000 and has been on vacation from her role as a tax preparer ever since. Her responses to us for the delay is because she is on vacation. In the misaddressed packets, it included our only copy of our 2015 tax file. To date, she still has not returned our 2015 tax file. Because we are worried about our identities, my husband and I have had to obtain additional identity/credit monitoring. I feel she should no longer be in business. If she cannot complete a simple task of mailing documents to the correct address, what about the accuracy of my tax documents? This has caused us a great deal of stress and anguish! I am demanding a refund for this true example of an unprofessional delivery of services. To save yourself any heartache, DO NOT USE this woman, she also looks as unhealthy as her work.

They make you fill out a very long employment application even this is a contract temp position. They make you take the ALTA which is par for the course but what the abomination begins when Angela Stoneham sends over documents saying that the firm is requiring candidates to provide translations for these documents. The document contain very sensitive information and are what would be called "Hot" and super "Hot" documents that might be used in a deposition or as a court exhibit. After I finished the translations, Angela disappears. Silence. No further communication-period. So the conclusion, Winston Strawn is just out to get Japanese translations for free. Just to avoid paying the market rate of $95/hour. I guess the firm reputation is worth less than that. So beware.
