Mr. Richard has in depth knowledge of different tax situations. He is also really friendly and take personal interest in your tax situation and advice you accordingly. I highly recommend Mr. Richard for personal or business related tax advice.

Avoid him at all cost. At the consultation he stated "2 weeks" he would file. 3 weeks come by and still didn't hear anything. Had to call him several times and chase him down to do my taxes. He is very unorganized, and continues to blame that he is "to busy", and "it's crazy"! What do you expect you are a CPA in tax season? if you are to busy why continue to take clients? It's money over good quality service. Tried a different CPA this year, to only pay more money with horrible service.

Richard and his team are fantastic. From initial contact, Richard was courteous, informative and extremely knowledgeable. We have a pretty complicated tax situation that we are still working through, and thus far Richard and his team have gone above and beyond. A complaint I occasionally see from other people is regarding responsiveness near the April tax deadline, which is ridiculous. Richard and his team have been responsive the entire time we've worked with them. We look forward to continuing to work them.

I tried to be proactive with hiring this CPA, Richard Garcia. I called his office a few times in early and mid January, and I was told by Mr. Garcia to wait until I have ALL my tax documents before calling him back and scheduling an appointment for his services. In March, I got all my tax documents and tried calling his office multiple times and also emailing his website's message box, and I never got any email or phone call back from his office.

When I was finally able to get hold of someone from his office (a very rude guy over the phone), the person told me that Mr. Garcia won't see anyone until after the tax deadline. No call back, no email, I get one can be busy, and more busy during the tax season. But why advertise your services as a CPA and have a website and phone number, but never reach back to people calling or emailing for services.

This guy does not get back to potential customers. I've called his office numerous times and spoken with his staff over the phone about scheduling an appointment for tax advice / tax services back in January. I never got a call back from Mr. Garcia or his staff to schedule an appointment. Fast forward some weeks, and in March I called again and was told they won't see anyone until after the tax deadline. Horrible customer service.

I wasted so much time and effort trying to schedule and ultimately hire this CPA, because of his "good reviews" on google. But, no. This guy doesn't get back to people, which is his lost. I'll take my business and money to another CPA who prioritizes calling back potential customers.

I called Richard to inquire my our very specific situation due to my husband's immigration status. Richard spend a significant amount of time talking to me on the phone and promised to follow-up with more information. I'm not sure if he'll be able to help us on this case but he provided great service and information without pressuring me to come in for a "consult." - Jessica

I needed help with tax planning but most of the CPAs that I contacted would not talk to me because I'm not a business entity. Mr. Garcia made himself available to me and personally provided me with sound counsel and advice about the tax questions that I asked him. I hope to enlist his help again when I file my federal income tax return in the future.

It was a pleasure working with Richard and I will continue to use his services. With stock trading and the complexity it brings to your taxes Richard was able to give me the right advice and guidance. He even gave me a courtesy call. Going forward I will defintely use his service to file my taxes and I highly recommend Richard for any tax related services.

Mr. Garcia has been a great help to me getting my business pointed in the right direction tax wise. He lays everything out in a way you can understand and is very honest and fair about pricing and the next steps you need to take. I look forward to using his service for a long time.

As a Canadian selling land in Texas, cold calling CPAs for help was less then fruitful until Richard answered my call. He was busy and extremely generous with his time to help us determine our next steps personally and what his would be when we contract his services. I highly recommend contacting Richard.

Mr. Garcia was a pleasure to meet and consult with. I had a few questions regarding my taxes that I couldn't quite answer on my own and he kindly allowed me to express my concerns and offered me some much needed advice. I highly recommend him if you want a competent CPA who's conveniently located just north of downtown.

I reached out to Richard for help with my family's current tax situation. He answered all my questions and was able to explain what the next steps are.

As my business grew, I was so stressed trying to understand the right accounting and tax moves. I had spoke to Richard several times and he provided me outstanding knowledge and service. He was very patient with my questions. I feel so much better about the direction of my business with proper tax structure and accounting services in place. I'm so grateful for his time, services, expertise, and attention to detail. I couldn't be more happy. Always leave it to the professionals! Thank you so much Richard.

ONE OF THE BEST CPA IN SA. Richard is strongly knowledgable about real estate taxes and provides a service to help strategize the best option for you. Every small business owner should have a CPA like Richard in your corner. GREAT SERVICE!

Solid experience. He was able to take me on as a last min client and got me filed away before the deadline. Refund was very quick and he was able to answer all my tax questions and give different options. Well done. I will definitely use again. Thanks again.

I highly recommend Richard Garcia! We had a lot of financial issues we needed help and a direction with. We went to two Estate Lawyers and three other CPAs and none of them wanted to help us. Finally, we found Richard! He was very generous with his time and walked us through a direction. We spent well over 2 hours of time chatting and emailing. He was very generous and did not charge us, I even told him that wouldn't be a problem! He is a rare find and I am proud to call him my personal CPA! I completely trust him with our business and personal taxes.

Best experience we've had with a CPA, we are in our second year in business and plan on using Richard for all of our taxes and bookkeeping.

I tried using him for my personal taxes and initially I was told they didn't have any appointments to discuss my taxes but I could drop them off and they would look at them. I dropped them off and no call for a week, then 2.each time I call to follow up the girl states they do cooperate taxes first and they will get to mine, and she was rude at one point about it.

I ended going and speaking to Mr. Garcia and only realized working with him wasn't going to get my taxes done in a timely manner. I ended up doing my own taxes because it's tax season and we are already in March. I was really hoping for better service. Unfortunately that didn't happen. If I could give no stars I would.

Richard J. Garcia has helped put my small business accounting needs at ease. He is super helpful with all the request and questions I have and always returns a phone call or email. I've been working with him for years now. I appreciate all the work he has done to help my small business run efficiently.

Richard is not your stereotypical Accountant, he is refreshingly different (in a good way) We have used him for years and can always count on prompt service, professional decorum, fair market pricing, great financial advice, all with personality. His team is reliable and professional and will serve you well.

This Gentleman was VERY Helpful with the Tax information I needed to complete my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy filing. He explained every small detail and made me comfortable with my filing. Richard.aware of my current financial crisis and recognized I was a victim of Circumstances. did not ask for any payment upfront but instead arranged a payment plan that would go into effect as soon as I got my PT license Reinstated and was employed with fulltime status.

I can't begin to tell you how much stress Richard unloaded off my mind. I would without a Doubt recommend Richard J. Garcia Highly to help with your taxes. Richard is a "No Problems Only Solutions" type of guy.but I do wanna warn you. DO NOT PLAY HIM IN CHESS!

On March 11, 2015, I contacted Richard J. Garcia, CPA to discussed the need of some tax preparation services and for a Notice of Deficiency I received from the IRS. He agreed to take on the assignments and indicated that he would work on them the following week and contact me when it was completed.

Mr. Garcia failed to contact me and a month later when I finally got a hold of him, he indicated to me that he had not even looked at the Notice of Deficiency or any of its accompanying tax forms, claiming he was over-worked.

As a result of Mr. Garcia's professional negligence, the deadline to respond to the Notice of Deficiency was not met. I filed a complaint against Mr. Garcia with the Texas Board of Public Accountancy and ultimately they ruled he violated Board rule 501.74 (b) A person shall exercise due professional care in the performance of professional services and Section 901.502 (6) of the Public Accountancy Act: A violation of a rule of professional conduct adopted by the board.

Mr. Garcia was officially reprimand by the Behavioral Enforcement Committee of Texas Board of Public Accountancy and a fine was assessed.

His violations can be confirmed at The Texas State Board of Public Accountany in the License Look up section. His disciplinary action will be seen at the bottom of the page. His license number is C08589.
