AVOID Deartola & Associates Decided to get my income tax done at a «reputable place». Big mistake choosing Deartola & Associates. Six weeks after my appointment I received a letter from the government stating my taxes weren’t completed. I decided to call Martin Deartola to find out what exactly happened to my tax return and when I received NORETURNCALL I knew something was up. I ended up having to pester his personal assistant just to find out that my tax return had been lost in a pile of paperwork and would be submited that day. phewwwww ! I asked for compensation for his lack of follow– through and he told me to take a hike. anyway. Small dirty office in a run-down dingy building = poor customer service. Lesson learned!
