Report
I will never use Baker & Colton again. The first year I used them, I thought they were good and reasonably priced. This year my taxes cost well over $500 and I was even charged $50 to speak to someone on the phone. I don't get anything above the standard deduction! I wouldn't recommend them. If you do use them, I highly suggest that you have them disclose ALL the fees upfront so you don't end up in a siMilar situation.

Report
I have turned to Baker & Colson at least 3 times in the past 11 years seeking financial advice regarding potential tax consequences that I needed to be aware of in several different financial arenas. The tax consultants who helped me to make an informed decision regarding my own tax situations went up and beyond my wildest expectations. They were both professional and knowledgeable and left me feeling quite grateful that I had utilized their services. I would highly recommend this company and the upstanding employees who represent them.
