Dorothy and her team were personable and quick to answer any questions I had. With my financial situation I had to file for an extension. She did a phenomenal job explaining everything to me and putting it into terms I could understand. All I had to do was scan all my tax documents to her office and that was it. As a millennial who wasn't taught squat about taxes, I would highly recommend her services to friends and family.

In the two years we have been with Dorothy Hamilton's office, I have never met Dorothy nor have I met the person preparing our taxes. Last year, the customer service resembled a wet towel. It was minimal and unpleasant. Some guy called me asking questions using what sounded like IRS jargon. I had to ask 20 questions to get an understanding of what he actually wanted when
