PLEASE DO NOT EVER USE THIS CPA. THEY ARE GREEDY AND TAKE TO MANY CLIENTS THAT THEY CAN'T SERVICE PROPERLY!- They are unprofessional.- They ask you to do their work.- They mess up your tax.- They are unorganized. Tell you one thing one day and something different the next.- They find excuses to cover their mistakes.- They dont care about their clients.- They are rude.- They wont answer their calls or respond to messages.

He used to handle our entire families estate, taxes, and hero with the OUR AND which occurred from the other negative reviews. My mom also filed her will with him and we had to take him to court to fight to get the will released. Add executor of the will he still refuses to talk to me or my attornies. Our my brothers. I don't know why he did that but it's a mess now. And I thought the point of making a will and trust wad to ensure that after a passing things go smoothly. So far that isn't the case. I will attemp to reach him and will update your with the progress. He must have additional documentation that we require to help move things along. Let's pay he not get help in contempt of court and see if he will do right my by family. She trusted him for 20 years. They had a falling out about the taxes but that shouldn't be a reason to hold the will hostage until we got the court to order it. It shouldn't be this hard. And he was seen as a family friend. Friends don't allow their families to go through stess and uncertainty during a time like this.I hope it all works out.

Based on all of the negative Yelp reviews, it's apparent Thomas Porta could care less about the reputation of his name and business. I've been a client for the last 7 years. I originally was with Bittner taxes and then transitioned to Thomas Porta when she closed her business. While he's always seemed somewhat strange, our taxes were always accurate and done in a timely manner. During our most recent visit, we completed our taxes and he quoted and printed out the invoice for his services. When I checked my credit card invoice, I was shocked to see he charged an additional $100. When I called the office for additional details, he told me the print out and verbal quote was an error and that he "meant" to charge the extra $100 but forgot to tell us he would be doing so. He told me he didn't want to argue about it and he wouldn't be reversing the charges. He then hung up on me. The most shocking part is that he's willing to lose long term clients to steal a little extra money....it's actually sad and pathetic. Currently, I'm in the process of filing a complaint with the BBB and I've already launched a fraud complaint with my credit card company. Thomas Porta and his staff are beyond unprofessional and dishonest.

Have been going to Tom about five years now. He is always helpful with questions and so I had him re-do our family trust also. I have had no problems with our taxes and would recommend him if you understand what you are doing and bring in the right materials it will be quick and easy to get the filing done.

I wish I could give zero or negative stars. This review is in regards to Patrice Porta, who has done my tax returns for 2-3 years. She did my 2017 tax returns in February 2018, and the state form was incorrect, needing an amended return. By phone, she indicated the amended return would be completed the first week of May. When it wasn't done, I called her again and she said it would be done in June. Same thing again in July, twice in August, then twice again in September. The amended return still wasn't done, so I called her again 10/18/18. She said "thanks for reminding me" and said that I would receive the amended return by 10/24/18. It's now November 2018 and I'm still waiting for it to get done. I figure there's no point calling about this anymore. I may have to pay another CPA to do it for me when Patrice should have been able to do it by now at no charge. Is this laziness, unprofessionalism, or both?

I have used this service for the past 4 years, and I cannot say he and his wife are the most efficient CPA's. His wife, Patrice Porta, also does taxes. For one, she makes wrong assumptions on the information which can negatively affect your tax filing status and what not. And, for another, she is very bad at communicating. She either responds to emails very late or does not respond at all. I was referred to this service my former in-laws....that should've been the clear warning! There are a plenty of CPA's out there who are more competant and efficient.

Tom has been doing my taxes for about 15 years and has always been professional, courteous and helpful. We own our own business and he does the business taxes as well, and we've always been happy with Tom's work.

**** Save yourself the trouble Stay Away from this Office!!**** Thomas K. Porta and his wife Patrice are both rude, disrespectful and employ people, Mila in particular, that are just as rude and disrespectful as they are. These people are worse than kids you find on a kindergarten playground; this is how childish they all act. If you do not agree with them on any point they are quick to yell and insult you. This law firm was used to collect rent on my parents behalf. According to the renter (after this firm was fired) rent was paid on the 1st of every month however the money was never paid to us on time .. it was always paid after the 5th of the month and on occasion at the END of the month. All manner of excuses were given. Any documents that were asked for was met with attitude and disrespect as if my parents had no right to ask for them. It is a shame one star had to be selected because this firm and people deserve nothing! Save your money and find another law firm that will be there for you and not this poor business establishment! Do not be fooled they are nice and "there for you" when you are first talking to them but once you employ them all manner of niceness disappears!
