I came to Precision after months and months of little support and direction from my dissertation chair. If felt as if I were thrown to the wolves and left to fend for myself after turning in my first three chapters, only to be rejected. It was a blessing to find out about Precision from a colleague of mine who had recently finished his doctoral program. After giving a detailed explanation of what their team could do to ensure my proposal was approved, I was given individual attention by Clark, the CEO. After seeing the quality of work Precision produced, my chair got on board and approved me to collect my data because I was finally able to demonstrate a deeper understanding of my topic. I'm on the road to graduation now thanks to Precision!

I don’t recommend at all!!

My experience was not a good one at all. I hired them to help with edits of my proposal initially. I started with one point of contact and I keep getting passed around to others I ended up with 3-4 different people. There were sections in my literature review that needed tweaking or information added and one of the editors plagiarized information and added it to my dissertation and when I confronted them I couldn’t get any money back. I would always find issues with my references not being right or references being in that section but no content in the dissertation it was horrible. I stuck with them for them to rectify the issue and even hired them for my IRB application. Because it took longer than 6 months to get approved they told me I needed to pay them more money which was not told up to me upfront so I had to fix my own IRB application although I paid them for it. It was a bad experience all around I would not recommend them to anyone. It was not done in excellence or integrity and I’m out of thousands of dollars and ended up hiring another company.

If I had hired Precision sooner

If I had hired Precision sooner, my prospectus at Walden would have been approved the very first go round, and I would have saved thousands on tuition. Precision took my draft and knew precisely what to fix, and how to fix it so that it would be approved. They really know their stuff. Plus they did such a good job with the prospectus that the rest of my dissertation was very clear to me. It practically wrote itself! If you are a new Walden student, I say call Precision ASAP. They will save you so much time and frustration. And they will also save you money. I probably wouldn't have been able to do my own dissertation proposal if they hadn't set my ideas straight, or into alignment as they say, from the very beginning at the prospectus stage.

Top Notch Dissertation Assistance

For the past 3 years, Precision Consulting, LLC has walked me through each stage of the dissertation process. Mr. Clark and his team of experts have provided me with top notch service in academic research, qualitative research analysis, transcription and APA writing and editing . In addition, I was provided with customizable and friendly support throughout this arduous process. I am eternally grateful that I made the right decision in hiring Precision Consulting, LLC. With the help of Precision, I was able to present a well-developed dissertation that will be published in a journal. I highly recommend Precision Consulting, LLC to anyone in need of professional consultation services for dissertation assistance.

Happy Client

I had difficulty getting timely and detailed responses from my professor and for working through the problems and issues I was having in choosing a research topic. I was forced to start over again and again and my prospectus was rejected three times. My professor recommended Precision and they have been extremely helpful and professional. After a phones conversation, Ben was able to break down exactly what I needed to focus on to succeed. Ben provided invaluable assistance by helping me understand different types of research designs and how to find research to help support claims throughout my paper. Precision has helped me with so many different areas of my research and really helped me build my confidence I needed to pass my defense. They are even helping me publish my study in a journal. Without Precision, I would probably still be working on my revisions.

Happy Client

Precision saved me on my literature review! I wish I had contacted them SO much earlier than I did. I wasted so much time before contacting them. Searching for articles, reading articles, trying to make sense of my topic (individual education plans for special needs students). I kept getting my drafts back from my mentor saying that a lot of my papers I was discussing were not relevant, and that I needed to synthesize them, and that I had not convinced her that there is a gap in the literature for me to bridge with my proposed phenomenology. I was so frustrated I almost quit. I was in tears. Then I called Precision and with one phone call I felt better. They took what I had written and organized my literature review on such a way that it finally made sense to me! Then they did their own literature search to add SO MANY articles that I had missed in my own searching. Had I called them sooner, I would have saved weeks of my time and so much frustration. Do not waste your time on your literature review. If your mentor is not helpful, call them ASAP. You will be extremely happy you did.

I had some problems finding qualified and reliable help with my dissertation. It seemed like even my chair didn't want me to get approved for my proposal. Clark and Ben understood exactly what I was going through and helped with my first three chapters. My study research was mixed methods, a single cause study and quantitative correlation design. It was so hard to find a team that was able to help with both types of methods and analyses until I found Precision. They even helped me talk with profssor when he gave me contradictory feedback. It took six months to get the proposal approved and permission from IRB to do my interviews, but after that, with Precision's help I was able to graduate in just a few months. We're now working on my second publication and I couldn't be happier with their help. It's a delight to work with a team that truly cares about my success.

Thank you

I was having a hard time making sense of my advisor’s feedback, but precision knew precisely how to respond. Without precision, I’d be paying tuition for the same course, yet again, instead of moving onto the actual survey research. Precision saved me money all said and done.

It’s amazing how much help I didn’t realize I needed. Swamor and the team at precision gave me clear support and guidance when I was at my wits end with trying to figure out vague comments from my committee reviews. Not only did the precision team help me to make sense of it all, but they worked with me every step of the way and didn’t quit until I graduated. I’m so grateful!

Precision assisted with multiple regression, panel analysis and normality testing. Their work was complete in just a few days and they revised the work quickly and accurately. It was especially difficult to understand the processes followed for analysis, but they answered all my questions and helped me feel confident going into my defense.

Satisfied and successful client testimony

My big regret about Precision is that I didn't find them sooner! Like 5 years ago would have been great! I was faced with being removed from my program after hitting the 7 year drop-dead date. Everyone on the team that I worked with was instrumental in my success, and without them, I wouldn't be where I am today. They stayed with me through the hectic process as my deadline loomed, and they made changes to address all the comments i got back with my submissions. They responded at night, on weekends, and they must work all the time to provide the help they did. Their service was invaluable, and I would suggest that everyone get help from them!

Avoid this company at all costs

This company was formerly Minimax Consulting which was run by Peter W. Chabot. Minimax was shut down after countless complaints and fraudulent activity only to be reopened under the name Precision Consultants in a different state with Clark Guo now running the show - except Peter still is too they just leave his name off the site on account of and Peter being a convicted felon.

Clark Guo and Barron Gati are still at the helm because they've sacrificed good hard work for undercutting and exploiting the student demographic. Moral corruption aside, I urge you to avoid this company like the plague. Save your money and only do business with a reputable company.

Pete W. Chabot who is a registered felon for SEC violations in the early 2000s. Yea, he decided to take investor money and spend it on lavish trips around the world, sporting events, clothes and other useless things while telling investors that his "hedge fund" was growing exponentially -- 42 percent a year! To the investors dismay, however, Chabot hadn't invested one penny of that money. So he went down by the hand of the SEC and served time in prison in NY state.

More on the company - For a while they maintained the facade of a legitimate company. That's until students were being grossly mistreated. Their A rating on the BBB quickly plummeted to an F and they were no longer accredited. So recently they've shut down Minimax, claiming they'll be working their current projects until the end of the year. Essentially, this means setting up shop in two new states, with new business licenses and more obscurity.

I'm here to warn you about this company. Simply google minimax consulting and you will find a plethora of documented discrepancies in their business practices, both with customers and their own unhappy, sued their asses employees.

This company is a GOD SENT!

This company is a GOD SENT!! Signing up with them was the best decision I made for my academic success!! I was at an all time low in my personal life, and it had began taking a toll into my academic progression. I didnt want to quit my endeavors, so I immediately began searching for assistance options. I found this company right when I needed them the MOST!! I had two choices to make; 1. To find the assistance I needed in order to attain my academic goals or 2. Quit my program and later on regret all my hard work and efforts! When I found precision, they assured me they would help and get me through my program, and boy did they!! From the day I signed up with them, all the way until my degree was conferred, they were with me! There was NO task they couldnt help me with!! They even calmed me down when I had breakdowns, nerve wrecking nights/days etc. They helped with my dissertation, my APA editing, and my qualitative/NVIVO analysis. I am certain and I know that I COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN MY DEGREE WITHOUT PRECISION!!!

SCAM! They don't deliver

I would dearly advise for students to look for help with accredited, trustworthy companies and not with Precision Consulting

I entered a contract with them for a statistical analysis, to be delivered within 2 weeks. After 6 weeks and paying around $3000, I received an unbelievable bad document. The experiment was not understood at all, most of the statistics were missing, and the statistic that was conducted was not what was agreed, best on highschool level and same goes for the level of english. I was promised a free revision within a week. Around 6 weeks later I finally received it, however literally nothing was adressed and they weren't even able to produce the requested graphs. What they "delivered" can't be remotely used. So I've waisted time, money and nerves for nothing.

I am deeply disappointed, in an extension of my thesis, after 4 months still without any useful statistics, running now statistics myself and trying to get my money back as Precision Consulting refused to refund.

My tip: STAY AWAY from them as far as you can! I dearly wish I would have.

PS: google them and unfortunately there are a lot of bad reviews I didn't see before entrusting my work to them.
Check BBB rating and reviews, look for their previous company name Minimax Consulting etc. You will see they have a long history of internet fraud and scamming students out of their money. Seems like some services are ok, but its a big game of russion roulette if you get scammed or receive help.

Very direct

Very direct, efficient and consistent. They are not only one of the most professional services out there, but the #1 and A PLUS one around that can do the high level of consulting I require in the work I do. I've done my research, worked with ghostwriters and authors to help me edit my work, though Precision Consulting is 5-Star and has all my praise far above these others. This is very sincere when I write that! Thank you, PC.
