MEMBER PROFILE

Orlando Aramini

I was getting beaten up by local banks and their penalties/fees. I got my taxes done through Alternatives' Free Tax Preparation program and found the people very friendly. It's a pleasure to feel the lack of pressure that banks put on me. Having folks listen and care does make a difference!
