My Dad passed at the end of May, 2025. He had managed the estate taxes for 50 years. But Dad got…read moresick in 2018 and things slipped. We had 5 years of back taxes to file and collection letters coming in when he passed. Our attorney recommended Wayne Long and Co. We were put with David Marty. He did little to nothing in 8 months. And billed us for several meetings he was not prepared for at all, he even said he wasn't prepared, but he did not cancel. And he still billed us while he talked about his new dog for 45 mins. This firm cost my family something worse than money, time, 8 months the IRS and FTB thought we were doing nothing. We were treated like we were a bother and our Estate (multimillion) was treated as less than his "important" clients. I followed up every few weeks often with no response. Save the wasted time, go elsewhere. All that was done in 8 months was the pulling of transcripts for 2 of the 5 unfiled years. My Dad had an accountant in another state he used for 40 years, but their system broke down when he got sick. I thought David was going to help us get our back taxes resolved. What we got was a "slick" salesman who over billed us, and treated us like peasants, both at the same time. And now I've had to hire a tax attorney to fight an FTB Levy, as well as a new CPAs to do the filings. Save yourself a headache by not using Longview Advisors at all.

Valley strong consitinly declines my transactions outside of Kern county even if I said I would be traveling which is first of all embaressing and second inconvient. My biggest issue is the false advertisement on getting paid 2 days early. My husband is in the military and his check is aleasy shown as pending at least 4-5 days in advance to the actual pay day. The earilest Valley strong ever releases the checks is a day prior. We have called and asked why this always happens and they always say, "sorry, but the funds aren't available". I moved my check over to navy federal and I really was paid 2 days prior. The pay day is on the 15th of this month and when I spoke to Navy federal that said that if we banked with them the funds would release the 12th. We spoke to Valley strong this morning and they said it will be in the day of the pay day the 15th. That right there is false advertisement.
