I asked a legal question about a contract dispute with a former employer and waited over two hours for a response. When I finally got one, it was vague and kept saying things like 'it depends on your jurisdiction' without actually helping me understand anything. I ended up finding more useful information on a free legal forum. Complete waste of money.

Absolutely terrible experience with the tax advisor service. I asked a specific question about claiming a home office deduction and the advisor gave me incorrect information about the square footage calculation method. When I pushed back with what I had read on the IRS website, the advisor changed his answer without acknowledging the error. I don't trust anything I got from this interaction.

I asked the vet about my rabbit's sudden loss of appetite and the expert clearly had limited knowledge about exotic pets. He kept referring to rabbit care the same way he would a dog or cat. Rabbits have very specific GI concerns and his advice to 'wait and see' was actually dangerous. My rabbit ended up needing emergency care for GI stasis, which is life-threatening if not treated quickly. I'm horrified by this experience.

I was charged for a follow-up question that I thought was part of the original conversation. Nobody made it clear that asking for clarification would cost extra. The mechanic's original answer was incomplete and left me with more questions than I started with, and then I got billed again just to get a full answer. This feels like a bait and pricing scheme. Very disappointed.

I had a billing dispute with this site that was never resolved. I was double charged for a single session and when I contacted customer support I was bounced between email threads for three weeks with no resolution. The legal advice I originally received was also not particularly helpful. I filed a dispute with my credit card company in the end. Would never use this service again.
