If you want poor service and overpriced work done-GO HERE! I was over charged and had errors made by this firm-not even a 1 star! I went to a different company right away.

I cannot say enough good things about Jada Rosenfeld. I am in a difficult personal situation and called to make an appointment to ensure a previous return I did was done correctly. She showed me so much kindness and helped me out without asking anything in return. She was very professional and warm and she did a great job. I would highly recommend Hamilton and Rosenthal to friends and family and will use them to do my taxes.
