First, I feel badly giving a small business a poor review, however, I have real concerns about how…read moreMAS operates their business. I have used MAS for 6-7 years for my annual taxes. Every year, I have turned my paperwork in and I receive a call when it's complete with no questions asked! Easy...I thought. However, I switched this year to another company after being dissatisfied with MAS for the reasons in this review. Not only did I pay 75% less than what MAS was charging me, but I also received a couple of calls asking for clarification and met with someone in-person at the end to review my return and be sure that all was in order. I never experienced anything like this with MAS. Over the years, I occasionally called during the year to ask a quick question (I called maybe 8 times (once or maybe twice per year.) Twice, my calls were never returned. Once, my call was returned 3 months later when the issue was a moot point. This next situation, however, is what really has me concerned. I asked a question this past year and was able to talk to my accountant on the phone. We spent less than 5 minutes talking and then she asked me if I wanted her to give me an estimate on something I was asking a question about. While the info was not crucial to know, she offered so I said, "sure!" She got back to me with a number. 4-5 months later, I received a bill for hundreds of dollars for this question being answered. First, I was never charged for asking a question in the past, so I never would have expected this. Second, when I was offered this option, I was never told that I would be billed for it (and why would I when I had never been charged before.) I will add that I do respect her time and I have no idea what kind of time it might take to pull a number (could be pulling up a computer screen and looking, or maybe more math was involved.) At any rate, I was not informed ahead of time that there would be a cost and if I knew, I would never have asked for the number to be computed as it was not dire information for me to have. Last, when I called her to discuss this and express my concern, she said, "it's fine, I can just write it off." I have to say that I was shocked. An accountant running an accounting business? Sending a bill to me 4-5 months later after not informing me I'd be charged and now is telling me it's a write-off for her business? This certainly does not fit with my idea of business ethics.

I had a great experience here through a referral. They have a secure portal you can upload your…read moredocuments to, they can review it, and post back your complete forms. Rarely having to visit their office if you don't have to. Their associates do the heavy lifting of gathering your info and capturing what you need. You will not typically meet with the main accountants. They if anything review your documents on the back-end. Their price was a bit higher than I had hoped, but again, I had great service there. Their location is quite possibly the farthest tip of Edmonds you can get, making getting there a chore. Especially if it's during a heavy period of ferry traffic. If you have lots of deductions, itemize, real estate properties, rentals, these are the folks to review your taxes and prepare them.

Well worth the investment. I am an accountant and attempted to work with the IRS directly (not too…read moreunsuccessfully) but needed some extra help.

I retained this firm for a paid second opinion and paid a $3,900 retainer. My expectation was that…read morethe attorney I initially consulted would personally engage with the core issues I raised, particularly tort-based reliance and misrepresentation. Instead, the matter was largely handled by another attorney, and the analysis I received focused heavily on buyer-awareness/Form 17 issues rather than the reliance framework I had specifically asked to be reviewed. I was also disappointed by the billing, including time recorded before I had signed the engagement agreement, which I disputed. Overall, I did not feel the service matched my expectations for a paid second opinion, and I would encourage future clients to confirm in writing who will actually perform the analysis, what issues will be addressed, and whether any pre-engagement time will be billed.

Men going through a divorce and considering this firm: please read…read more I was told my case was very straightforward and given a rosy outlook. What happened instead was I paid my lawyer a ton of money ($20-$30K), lost custody of my kids, got kicked out of my own house, had my residential time stripped away from me, etc. On top of that, halfway through my case my lawyer dropped me as a client, leaving me scrambling for representation. My lawyer was less than responsive. Not sympathetic to my losses. In all fairness, I can't tell if it was the performance of my attorney or the inequity of the system when it comes to father's rights. But PLEASE do your research. I can give you a much more in depth run-down of my situation and my honest review of Beresford Booth if you'd like. Message me on Instagram @farnsworthgtrs. Interview several attorneys. Do your research. And reach out to me if you want a first-hand take of their performance in court. This is the most important thing you'll ever experience in your life, and you NEED someone who cares about you and your case.
