Forget the rest ..Marios the best" July, 2007 Ms. Morris "I would highly recommend Mario and SmartServ Solutions.

June, 2007 Anthony Lawrence "Mario was there during the unbearable rain fall one Sunday afternoon ,performing professionally with concern for his present and further clients. Without him I would of been paying more than double the refund using my experience with preparing taxes. Three tumbs up! He's my permanent tax person as well of becoming a part of my future investment plans." May, 2007 Katherine "I think that SmartServ Solutions is amazing. It was quick convenient and they helped make sure I was getting back all that was possible. I would definitely use SmartServ Solutions again." April, 2007 Jon Minners "I went to SmartServ Solutions after seeing one of their ads in the newspaper I work for. I was tired of H&R Block and their fast food/hidden and high expenses way of doing taxes. I was looking for someone I could trust and while I was nervous at first, Mario Costanz put me at ease and showed a thoroughness in doing my taxes that I had yet to experience at any other place. Needless to say, I recommended him to my boss and was here to do my taxes again this year. I was scared about my taxes, because I had done some freelance work that I never did before, but once more, Mario helped me figure it all out and I walked away very pleased with my experience. Thank you very much for making tax season less stressful." April, 2007 Eileen Metzgroff "Mario has done my taxes for 2 years, he and his staff a thorough, helpful and show that they are interested. They answer questions in a friendly and professional manner. I've recommended friends for tax concerns and mortgage applications. I will continue to advise my friends to go to Mario and his staff for all financial needs." April, 2007 Michelle Santiago My Experience with SmartServ Solutions was Terrific. The professional, courteous staff provide exceptional service. Appointments are scheduled efficiently and you are not left waiting past your appointment time. I arrived early and was seated in a cozy waiting room with a TV and a restroom. There is even coffee. There was even an area for my 3 yr old to play. Since I have been dong my taxes at SmartServ, it has made a usually dreaded task more bearable. I am now using SmartServ for their other services. They helped boost my Credit score by 30 points!I am VERY comfortable with the Staff and the President of SmartServ and look forward to using them for the purchase of my home.Thank You SmartServ!" February, 2007 R & C "Our experience was fast , efficient and painless, as opposed to the hours we spend doing it on our own:-) Our extended appreciation for going an extra mile for a separate issue, which-unexpectedly- worked out well for us financially.

Then I found Mario. I was not at all satisfied with my last tax service. My last tax service made alot of mistakes that cost me money. Mario on the other hand has saved me money, gave me good advice and became a good friend. I have my whole family going to him. If anyone needs their taxes done I would highly recommend Mario. I don't want anyone else touching my taxes. I don't need any headaches and with Mario I don't get any." December, 2006 Adam Rodriguez "SmartServ Solutions is the best. After many years of lackluster performance and service from other so called tax services, I finally found a great place to take care of my taxes, and any other of my financial needs. I highly recommend them. Mario is the greatest!!" December, 2006 Chris Dandrow "I have been working with Mario on my taxes for three years. I have been so impressed with him and his staff that when it came time to get a mortgage on my new house, Mario was the first and only person I contacted. I can't say enough good things about Mario. They are a very professional company and will go out of there way to make the customer happy." December, 2006 Taris Delgado "Mario Costanz and the staff at SmartServ Solutions are a pleasure to deal with.

Mario is honest and upfront. I can appreciate someone like that who is dealing with my finances. I have referred my friends and co-worker to Mario and his staff and will continue to do so. Thanks again SmartServ Solutions." December, 2006 Arnett "I have never been so satisfied with my taxes, until i found Mario and his staff. I would recommend the whole world if I could.

In short he is both assured and competent.I feel confident that he will be an asset to anyone who would need his professional services." April, 2006 Christina Costanz "I have known Mario Costanz my entire life and I can say that he is an amazing person. Mario is a caring, compassionate, and loyal human being. He has used these same characteristics on a professional level as President of SmartServ Solutions. My brother is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. He cares for his clients as if they were family. I have referred many co-workers to SmartServ Solutions and they have all returned to me with gratitude. Mario serves his community well. Anyone looking for financial/credit advice would benefit greatly with SSS. His knowledge, skill, and determination are admirable. I am very proud of Mario and his successful business." April, 2006 Floyd Santiago "Mario is superb at what he does. I have been doing business with Mario for 4 years and after receiving such great service year after year there is no need for myself nor my friends to see anyone else.

I am very satisfied with his services and look forward to a long professional relationship with him and his staff. I highly recommend his services!!!" April, 2006 Matt Picciano "I have been Mario's customer for three years now. In my opinion, his greatest strength is the level of personal attention he exhibits when dealing with me as his client. He has always taken the time to ensure I receive every dollar I am entitled to when I file my returns. I never feel as if he is rushing or "walking through the motions", I always feel comfortable that he is providing me with as thorough an analysis as he possibly can. His assistance does not stop there, he has also provided me with sound financial advice related to my personal credit as well as my home mortgage which has helped me keep more of my money out of creditors hands and in mine where it belongs.The level of customer service SmartServ solutions provides is second to none." April, 2006 Frank Napolitano "Mario and SmartServ solutions provide their clients with the convenience of a one-stop-financial shop. Whether he or his staff is assisting you with credit repair, getting a mortgage, or preparing your taxes, they will treat you with respect, honesty, and courtesy. It has been my pleasure to work with him and his staff and will continue to foster a long lasting relationship." April, 2006 Phil Napolitano "Mario is not only a client of mine but we also have shared clients in common. He has been a pleasure to work with. He has exhibited high levels of professionalism in all of my dealings with him. My clients who have used his services are invariably satisfied. I never have reservations when referring a client to him." April, 2006 Frank Lettera "Mario has done a great job with everything he has done for me. He has gone above and beyond what has been asked of him to make sure the job was done the correct way." April, 2006 Complex Technologies "Great and honest guy. If he can help you, he will surely let you know. If he can't he'll be sure to let you know too. My first experience was a good one. I came to SmartServ in need of a mortgage and when it couldn't be done, I was told so. When I referred SmartServ to a friend in need of credit repair, they gave the advice and told my friend they could handle it easily on their own. Not everything is free, but it's not everywhere you go that you can find good advice, honesty, and great service. Will do business again and again."
