To be fair, I should give her 5 stars. Amy fired me as a client 4 years ago. this was after I was assessed a 15k late and penalty fees from Oregon. this was well after oct 15. I needed all my documents be sent to a tax lawyer. she demanded a huge retainer. I needed to get the dept of rev issue dealt with first.
