Client Reviews of Richard P. Garofalo

In 2021, everything that has been said about Rich holds true today. He's unreliable, irresponsible, unresponsive and a liar. His voicemail says he will call back within 24 hours; it's been about 24 days now that I have been waiting for a call back. I filed my income in the midst of the pandemic, so I expected delays. I've received 2019 taxes but no word on the 2016, 2017 or 2018 taxes he amended for $200 each.

If I could give less than one star I would! IRRESPONSIBLE -takes too long with paperwork -does NOT reply to messages or answer phone calls -DECEITFUL (claimed documents were filed but NEVER Submitted to IRS) -UNAPOLOGETIC and SHAMELESS about his lack of professionalism -CON ARTIST (I spoke with a live person at IRS customer service and was advised my taxes were never filed.. this is now 3 months after signing paperwork and paying $150.00 cash to RICHARD GAROFALO for which he gave me no receipt claiming he would mail it to me. When I was finally able to reach RICHARD he was IRRATE, yelling at the top of his lungs that he will return my money but he asked that I please not report him to the better business bureau.. I was in shock and disbelief. FYI RICHARD claims (1) He’s unable to return messages and phone calls because he’s admitted in the hospital due to some severe “medical condition”..same explanation he gave my coworker the previous year when he was unable to file his taxes in a timely manner! (2) He has over 400 customers he does taxes for and he can NOT keep up with every customers paper work. (3) His “assistant” might have forgotten to file documents on his behalf! MIND-BOGGLING in my opinion! I Hope this review prevents other from having to go through the stress and inconvenience this man has caused me and my family.

If i could give less stars i would. RICHY Rich is a liar and a con man. He took my information from my husband and i & kept it hostage for over a month. He will not return call or texts. I have had to call the police in attempt to get back our information. I hope this information saves someone else from the head ache he has caused our family.
