Wilson Bruce A APLC

I run a startup company and came to Bruce for personal and corporate tax issues. I decided that he was not the right person to handle my personal tax issues, but decided to go ahead and work with him for my corporate taxes. It took him over a year of work to file for 2010, 2012, and 2012.
I didn’t push him on the lack of expedience because we understood that I was under financial hardship and would pay him what I could. After a year, he finally put all the documents together to file with the federal and state agencies, except for the 1099’s that should be issued for the contract labor. I provided him a list of the contract laborers that needed 1099s. During this time, Bruce said he would also take care of my personal tax as part of his fee for the corporate tax.
Here’s the reason for the 1 star. My wife, who is trained as an architect is doing the books for my company since she was put on bed rest during the pregnancy of our first child. While working with Bruce she asked a question about accounting and he replied, «Use your brain!»
I did not expect this from a professional attorney and it really upset my wife. In the end we paid him over $ 3K for his work. The next thing he does is send me a bill for filing my personal taxes and the 1099s I expected him to have issued while doing the corporate tax. As the extra insult, he could not get the name of my company right or the individuals that needed to be issued a 1099. I would advise against using him for an attorney and if you do to have everything in writing upfront before he starts tacking fees on down the road.
Extremely disappointed,
Mike
