John F Costello CPA PA

Tammy took care of my claim. She was professional, patient, respectful and kind. She helped me navigate through technology that is probably easy for most people, but not for me and my age group. Fear not that this is a scam. I'm always on alert, and from my experience, this firm is not only legit but also efficient. Finally, Tammy displayed a genuine caring that models how one generation takes care of another. Sincerely, Teresa

At first thought the letter I received about a stock that belonged to a deceased family member was a scam but I checked out the website & read the reviews & then decided to make the call to Tammy. Everything worked out just the way Tammy said it would & my living family members & I recently received our checks. A very good experience for all my family members!!

6 stars if I had a choice. Max Jarrin, of John F Costello, mailed me an unsolicited letter to say that HE had discovered details in a database that I was owed funds by the State of Florida. One signature, a couple of emails, and a check arrived from the State. Excellent service on something that I didn't even know existed.

So I was sent a letter a while back which I dismissed thinking it was probably a hoax or scam, and so I honestly didn't think much of it. Around November of last year I was really coming up short on cash for the new year after paying my car insurance for all 2025 the cash was a little low. So I decided to take a look at the letter again and called the number. Best decision ever! I spoke to a gentleman named Thomas who was very clear in how he explained the entire thing in detail. His tone came off as very

I got a random phone call in Oct 2024 about the funds the state was holding. I had heard about this before and was aware of a few dollars in there but was advised by Carla of Mr Costello?s office it was much more. I agreed to let them take a small percentage to file my claim and they only asked to see my Driver?s license. Avoiding skepticism I went ahead with this. Being utterly broke and about to have to give up my apartment the check arrived today for the full amount promised. It took nearly 120 days

Vicki Stewart was extremely helpful in securing my funds that were held by the state of Florida. The process was seamless and Vicki kept me informed of the progress and stayed in contact until the funds were released. It saved me a lot of headaches, I would highly recommend Vicki.

Thought I left a Review but don't see it, I was contacted by mail from Mr. Costello office I believe last Aug. 2024, I had been getting a few emails ect. From others as well that by reading knew they were scams! However in this letter it was mentioned about scams, so I investigated a bit, & read all the Awesone reviews that were given, so I filled out the paperwork & sent back to Nate! He helped me with every little thing I needed, (which wasn't much on my part) you didn't have to pay anything out of pocket

Laura, is the worst person to deal with .. She been lieing since dealing with her. I haven't received anything yet but the runaround from this company. I was promised some money, all I got is lies. The mail runs different there than any where else. Always blaming the mail have been lost several times and I done resent this fake letter 4x.then said to me I have to take half the blame when I did everything they asked me . She is very unprofessional and lies . Don't deal with this lady no truth comes from her

Highly recommended. Great service, Nate was amazing and we received our funds before we expected. Thanks a lot!

Jennifer was very very helpful in helping me with unexpected funds from my loved one! She was always keeping me informed of the status! Thank you Jennifer for all you do.

I was thrilled to finally get my money back After I was extremely skeptical and thought it was a fraud.Ms.Laura Costellowas absolutely wonderful and most understanding about how I was felling about the situation, She has laughed with me and assured me everything was going to be fine.Her personality is infectious and she was extremely patient with me All thanks goes to Laura Costello. "I appreciate the company's commitment to customer satisfaction. Getting my money back not only saved me from financial loss

I want to share my experience with George at the John Costello CPA Group. George helped me find monies in Tallahassee left by my parents estate that we knew nothing about. George and his Team helped me with recovery of those funds. Thank you George and Costello Group!

Had the pleasure of working with Laura Costello and this firm for some unclaimed assets that were owed to me. The service and continued communication throughout the process was amazing. Please use this firm for all your financial needs, you will be 100% satisfied...thank you again Laura??

I used John F. Costello, CPA, PA, to get research, prepare, and apply for unrecovered property from the state. The service that I received was excellent and efficient. Vicki, the Account Researcher, was a great resource and kept me informed of the progress throughout the entire process. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend this firm.

It was a great experience with Nate Feldman recovering my moms estate funds. I highly recommend his office. He was professional, & responsive. Exceptional service!

Jessica realized an excellent work. I'm happy with her professional attendance and eficiente in all the process of the matter. Thank you again to Jessica.

Laura Costello discovered that we were owed money from the state. She pointed it out to us and offered to recovery the money for us for a very small fee. We said yes and Laura and her team very quickly got us a check for almost $1000.00. Laura is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We would hire her again. I highly recommend her!

I had the best experience working with Vicki Costello. She walked me through the entire process. She was professional, kind and she had amazing customer service!! Vicki had to do additional research for us and found exactly what we needed. Just an overall great experience working with her and this company. Truly impressive. Thanks, Vicki!!

Very satisfied with the communication at this Law firm. Jessica was extremely helpful, friendly, and answered all my questions quickly. Definitely recommend.

I got a letter from the Costello office letting me know I had unclaimed property exceeding $10k! I scanned their reviews and let them do their work. Vicki was my manager and updated me on the 4 month claim process. She made sure all proper paperwork and verification was done properly! At the 4-month mark, my claim was approved and the state issued my check! Do not hesitate to use

Wonderful experience with John Costello, CPA. Vicki Stewart was consistently helpful, pleasant, and thorough. She always had good and gracious answers to my questions and never seemed irritated when I called to ask them.

The whole experience was so easy to deal with great job and Vicki is the best. Thank you so much.

Everything thing worked out fine and received everything in good time. Thank you to Jessica for her kind help.

Laura has helped me and my family ever so much. Definitely recommend her to anyone that needs help and breaking down something you may not understand. She has the best communication skills and gets back to you at anytime you need her. Thank you a lot for your amazing help!!

In January 2024, I was contacted by John Costello CPA. My mother had an account that had been turned over to unclaimed property in the State of Florida. As my mother had passed away in 2022 and her estate settled, I was very surprised to learn she had a large sum of money in unclaimed property in Florida as she was never a resident there. At first I thought this was a scam, but after some research and a discussion with Vicky Costello Stewart, I discovered my mother did have money due her. On behalf of m

I had a very positive experience in dealing with this company and Account Researcher Alejandro Escalante specifically. Great communication and clear instruction led to a successful outcome. If you need services in securing unclaimed funds, I would highly recommend this firm. Thank you team.

Jessica is amazing. 10 stars ?? Helped me through the process seamlessly. Knowledgeable and professional.

Jessica was such a great help! I?m so grateful that she helped me recover my unclaimed money, excellent service.

The team at Costello CPA was not only concise in their communications, they were personable and supportive when answering my inquiries. A pleasure to work with.

Laura helped me find money I had no clue was out there! I highly recommend getting with them to see what maybe out there. Thank you Laura

We've been using Daphne for several years now to process our unclaimed money and she makes the whole process so easy!!! I don't even bother with the other companies....as soon as I get a letter I send to Daphne and she takes care of everything immediately for us...she makes the whole process easy!

I have had the opportunity to work with John F. Costello CPA PA on more than one occasion. He and is number 1 assistant Daphne have assisted me in the recovery of funds held by the state on my behalf. They are extremely professional, they provide their services expeditiously, with total professionalism. In addition to how they manage clients I have found their rates to be not only competitive, but better than most other companies i was solicited by for a similar service. I would highly recommend John and Da

I am Gabriel T., and I strongly recommend Vicki Stewart from John F. Costello CPA PA. Reason for my 5-star rating is because her work on getting money due us that was left by my late father. Her communication with me was outstanding, courteous, and professional. I would have given Vicki more stars, but they only allowed me 5. Thank you, Vicki, much appreciated. Gabriel T.

Great firm to work with. They (Vicki) explained every step of the process and was a pleasure to work with.

This review isn't about John's business - it's about his character. A few weeks ago, I lost a set of keys at my dock in Ft. Lauderdale. To my surprise, I later received a certified USPS package from a gentleman named John Costello, CPA, who lives in Boca. Enclosed were my keys, along with a note saying he had found them floating in Lighthouse Point and wanted to return them to me. In today's world, small acts of kindness and humanity can make a big difference. John didn't just throw the keys in an envelope

Vicki at John Costello was very patient and helpful when she facilitated our Unclaimed Assets from the state of Florida. She was caring, humorous, and thorough with me. We received our money in a few months (the State moves slowly), but it arrived a month earlier than predicted. I highly recommend John Costello CPA.

Tammy Heiken was extremely helpful and very professional. A pleasure to work with.

My wife started getting notices that there was $6000 in unclaimed funds that she was entitled too, of course we thought it was a scam and did not reply. Then we responded to Tammy, and she was wonderful. We knew it was legitimate as soon as we talked to Tammy. She told us that the funds would be issued to my wife in two months. And in about two months my wife received her check.The customer service that we received was unbelievable. I seldom write reviews, but I wanted to take the time to write this one.

Real reviewer! Not a scam! Their firm notified me about unclaimed property via phone and postal mail. Completely transparent about their small percentage fee for the service. Sent me contract to review. My attorney confirmed they were a legitimate business registered with Sunbiz and licensed. I then signed contract agreeing to their fee for service and they processed my claim. Vicki provided frequent email updates and communication was phenomenal. Process took approx. 6 weeks from start to finish, and went

Great feeling dealing with Vicki from her first phone call to me. She explained everything clearly and communicated well during the whole process. The company's fees were better than the other company's that reached out to me about the Florida unclaimed property from my Mother's estate... Recommend highly!

Jessi was absolutely exceptional when it came to handling my case. She was diligent and very clear about the process. She handled it with great care. 10/10 would recommend.

Unbelievable how amazing sharp this team is. Made my tough spot in life a walk in the park. The most courteous and professional staff I've ever met. Big thanks for Jessica for for going helping me with my situation! I can't even begin to express my thanks.

I was going to try to obtain the unclaimed funds myself and I didn't want to go through all the hassle, so I agreed to let the Costello firm handle it for me. Nate Feldman was my representative. Everything went off without a hitch. It did take a while for the state to issue the check, but just because there is such a backlog of funds. If you want a seamless process, I would definitely hire the Costello firm to handle obtaining any funds due you.

I love the way she took her time to answer me when I call her every time she is great person

Had a very positive and professional experience with Shay Staples during a period of several months. Her follow up was excellent and she was very prompt in responding to emails. Had it not been for her I would?ve likely not been able to settle the matter successfully Thanks Shay.

Vicki Stewart was my contact person and she was amazing??Her initial contact was non- threatening. She explained the issue, the process and the outcome. She guided me through each step. She kept in touch with me. Vicki did it all gently and with kindness. Yes Vicki, ask for a salary raise, girl ??

Very good customer service. Mr. Feldman always answered or returned calls right away.... thank you for all your help!!

I greatly appreciated working with Nate through this process of recovering unclaimed funds from Florida, of which I was completely unaware! Of course I was initially skeptical, but quickly became assured this was legitimate. Very professional and responsive to my questions. Thanks Nate!

I cannot thank this firm enough for contacting me about unclaimed property I was not even aware of! I was able to claim my property that would have continued to ?sit?. I wish I would have known about this firm sooner. Many thanks and many blessings!

Free Money! I recently had the good fortune of working with the company of John F Costello, CPA in regards to some unclaimed money that I didn?t even know about. They brought it to my attention and helped me receive my funds. I was assisted by Vicki Stewart and she took care of everything! She is very knowledgeable, efficient, and super-friendly! Thanks, Vicki!

Joshua was very prompt and knowledgeable on all his responses to me! He was very patient and courteous. He also answered all my questions! I appreciate all his help and his amazing customer service! Thank you again!

If they send you a letter for unclaimed property do it yourself. Don't pay them 20%. Google unclaimed property FL too get the right website to fill out the form

Laura is amazing!! Money I thought was lost was returned to me because of her and I?m so grateful!! Received it just the way she said I would thank you so much Laura ! GOD BLESS!!????

Daphne has been above and beyond the call in helping me with my claim. Whenever I had a question, or a status changed, she was on the spot for me whenever I needed her. Highly recommended

I am definitely not one to typically post reviews but I felt I needed to in this case. I was contacted by Mr Costellos company and made aware that I had unclaimed money and that they could handle the whole process to retrieve the money for me. I was skeptical and wary at first, but after checking out the company I decided to go ahead and contact them. The person I worked with, Anthony, was absolutely terrific. He was very patient, explained all the steps, answered all my questions and took care of all the p

Very polite and professional office. Vicky, the account researcher, especially was helpful. The firm assisted me and my sibling discover lost funds we did not even know existed. Happy client!

This firm reached out to me with information on some found money from my son's estate. I filled out the initial paperwork and sent it to them. I since received more paperwork and was not sure how to fill it out. The return envelope had hand written Attn: Nick. I called the office and asked for Nick. It went to his voice mail so I left message at 11:23. I had not heard from Nick so I called again at 15:40 and got Nick on the phone. He was sooo rude! His firm initiated this transaction and he did not ha

I had no idea my dad left a bank account with some money in it, got a call from Vicki, filled out a few papers and a check arrived a few months later, so easy and very professional. I highly recommend.

I received a letter from this company stating I was entitled to some funds from my step father's death insurance policy. I did not respond right away. However, once I got the paperwork together and sent it I received a check approximately 45 days later. I had been told it would take about 3 months to receive my funds, I couldn't believe how quickly I received it. I am very grateful to this company for the expedient work given to my request. Thank you for handling this for me in such a timely manner. Just a

I had an extremely good experience with this company. Honestly, it couldn't have been any better. When i first received the notice, i was a bit suspicious...free money? Right...But that was actually true. It turned out that our company had some credit with the State. John Costello CPA PA recovered the credit and about 60 days later we received a check in the mail, of the exact amount we were told it would be. I worked with Leslie Castillo for this. She was the one explaining me how the process works. After

They did a great job; it takes awhile to get your money but they handle all the details. You just have to provide them with certain information and sometimes some documents. Tammy Johnson was our Claims Processor who handle our claim and communicated with us, she provided excellent service. This was the second claim they have handled for me.

PREDATORY against senior citizens. People can get the money for FREE, that is THEIR owed money from the Florida Unclaimed money site. These people (admitted by Shay) make an entire business out of going through these accounts and sending money to unsuspecting people (like senior citizens) who do not realize they could claim the money directly from the website. They took 1/3 roughly of a senior citizen's money (over $800.00) and when asked for the forms, death certificates, and things they said they worked

Hello I?d first like to say thank you to Nate for reaching out to me and informing me about funds that were owed to me from property that I owned over 10 years. When I first received this letter like any other letter that promises to retrieve some monies owed to you of some sort, I was about to pile up on top of other mail to sort out and discard of later, thinking it was a scam due to the amount that they said was owed to me. After carefully reviewing their credentials and after further reading the impecca

I contacted the Costello firm after skeptically holding on to their notification letter for quite a while. I was pleasantly surprised how professional, efficient and effective Tammy was in explaining the process and addressing my skepticism. It was easy and painless to apply and we received money that was previously unknown by our family within two months.

Just wanted to write a review and thank Alejandro personally for helping me with my Unclaimed funds. At first when I received a letter in the mail I didn't believe it but after a bit of research I realized I did have funds. Alejandro was nice and help in the process for filing a claim for it. I would highly recommended them to anyone who may need help in this process. Thank you again!

I am not surprised at how many 5 star rating this firm has received. Their customer service, and value, has been exceptional. My father passed away in 2008 and he had several accounts that my brothers and I were not aware of. About a year ago we started getting inundated from numerous specialists in unclaimed property. After sorting through them all, and reading reviews, we decided to use the services of John F Costello CPA. They not only found more accounts that belonged to our father than other companie

Had an opportunity to recover lost property from a prior location where I had lived. Process to recover was complicated. The professionals at John Costello came to my aid. They did everything on my behalf and today I received a sizable check for my lost property. John Costello should be your first stop for assistance. They are a pleasure to work with!!!

Vicki of John F Costello helped us get back almost $16,000 in unclaimed property (money) we honestly had no idea about! It was the easiest process and within 90 days we had our check in the mail, right before Christmas!! So thankful for them reaching out and working on our behalf to get us our money!!

I just want to thank Alejandro Escalante and the firm for informing us that there were funds to be claimed from a prior mortgage company. Otherwise, we never would have known. We filled out the simple authorization form and they did the rest. Just received a check, for the amount proposed in the original letter, from the State of Florida. Thank you again for that painless process of receiving monies we didn't even know were ours to claim. Great job!

John Costello CPA got in touch with my mother about my father?s life insurance that we had no idea that he even had. We lost contact with my father a long time ago, and Costello was able to give me a peace of mind on things I did not know about my father. Not only were they able to reclaim unclaimed funds that were due to me for my father?s death, but they were also able to give me information about my father that I never knew. Thanks to them, personally Vicki Stewart who was always a pleasure to deal with,

The firm had great communication and took me through the process of collecting my unclaimed money in a very timely manner. Great company to go through if you?re in Florida. They also had the best rate out of all the company?s reaching out to me and said they would match if I found a better one. Thanks Guys

This firm is very legit and professional. The entire process of retrieving unclaimed funds from a relative?s estate was handled expertly by Thomas Leslie, my initial contact at John F Costello. All instructions were easy to complete and follow up emails were detailed and timely. Thanks Thomas!

I was told by Max that it would take 90 days but only took 30. Not alot of money but it was definitely mine. Totally felt comfortable with Max. I definitely recommend this company. Thank you Max!

This firm is far the best with Laura's help i was able to find out my mother had some estate left for me and she did everything she could to make sure i got everything in and made sure to keep me updated on the process she is very sweet and very good at what she does i want to say Thank you Laura for everything ! and also to John F Costello firm as well.

Terrible. Once you sign contract you cannot speak to an actual human being. They simply pass you around to voicemail boxes or don?t answer the phone at all during regular business hours. Once I did get an actual human on the phone I could barely hear her over the baby screaming in the background. Then she simply passed me to another voicemail box then wouldn?t answer any subsequent calls. VERY unprofessional! Was told the process would take about 30 days. Once contract is signed, that changes to 60-90 da

I, highly, urge all to use the services of John F Costello; extremely professional and always respond via email expeditiously. Any questions or concerns I?ve had, their response was always spot on. There?s absolutely not even one negative thing that I can say about them.

I received a letter regarding unclaimed funds in FL from my late grandfather. I almost threw it away thinking it was some kind of gimmick but I'm glad I called. I worked with Vicki and she informed they work on contingency so there was nothing to lose unless they secured the money. It took some time but they did and now I have a sudden cash windfall to pay down debt. Thanks so MUCH!

You guys did an amazing job. I had no idea I had the money waiting. My wife has passed away and dealing with everything, I overlooked this money. It was put safely in the Fl Treasures acct and your firm notified me about what I could do. Thank you John Costello, CPA PA. I would highly recommend your firm. Thank you for contacting me in a follow up! Keep up the great work! Benjamin Columbia

This firm, was responsible for our family being notified of assets remaining in my uncle's estate, which had been closed for over four years. Tammy worked with myself and seven other family members, enabling us to recover these unclaimed funds. We could not have asked for better assistance. She is very personable and proficient in her job.

This firm needs to do its proper research before sending out notices. I received a notice in the mail about a sum of money unrecovered from a business I owned. I was in dire need of this money, so I sent in my paperwork to only get everything back with a little post it note that read this money had already been claimed a few years prior. No apologies, nothing else. Like I said I was in dire need of this money, and my hopes were way up. They should really do their due diligence and research before they send

I was so wonderfully served by Tammy Johnson of John F. Costello CPA PA. Tammy worked so patiently with me on the unclaimed funds account lost for several years following my step mother's passing. She also worked with me to separate the account so my two brothers will be able to receive their share. Tammy was so accurate and knowledgeable, friendly and kind. I highly recommend this firm to assist you in getting assistance in whatever you need. Thanks again Tammy !! Mark Gibson, Cantonment Florida.

Very Highly Recommended Company. They recovered nearly $700 for me and did all the paperwork . All I did was send in the copies of my ID & they took care of the rest. Thank you so much for the check!! I strongly recommend Mr. Costello's business for any of your financial needs.

John f Costello CPA PA. Did a great job of taking care of all my wants and needs....They had good communication and kept me up to date on all my affairs...Daphne Lafleur handled my account and she is amazing !!!

Great job. Trustworthy and reliable. Received funds I did not know I had. All I had to do is file out a small form and they did all the work. 8-10 weeks later. I received my check. Awesome work!!

I had a wonderful experience with The John F. Costello CPA,- PA Firm. When I first called I was a little nervous. I tried to find my money myself, but my goodness, what a waste of time even with the internet I found it confusing, and hard to understand. I finally gave up and called John Costello,CPA, PA. I have to say I was really nervous....at 61 I have never call a law Firm before. As I called Tammy Johnson answered the phone. She was Wonderful. It didn't take long until I felt comfortable and knew I di

Tammy at the firm of John Costello, Esq. did a great job for our family in recovering unclaimed funds. We knew about it and even though both my husband and I work in the legal field we never took the time to deal with it. Thanks again.
