Testimonial

"I had an incredible experience using File for a Cause. I previously had used another well known online service. They always had hidden fees even though they were "free". That is not the case here. It is $29.99 up front and part of it goes to local charities. This is a great idea. The filing process was very simple and smooth, better than the service I used before. I did both state and local very quickly. I would recommend this to anyone."
