Is using DissertationAssistance considered unethical?

DissertationAssistance big ethical question, right? As someone who's spent good chunk of time in the field, I've got to say, it's not so black and white. Now, hear me out. I've seen students absolutely swamped with coursework, internships, jobs the whole lot. They're working their socks off but sometimes they hit wall and that's where people like me come in. We're not here to do all the work for them; rather, we supplement their efforts. Personally, specialize in sciences and I've lent hand to dozens of students stuck with complex scientific theories or methodologies. As for Dissertation Assistance specifically you betcha, they do good job.

Last year, worked with student who was struggling with statistical analysis for his dissertation. After trying on his own for weeks (and getting increasingly stressed), he opted for Dissertation Assistance. He got the help he needed from experienced statisticians and managed to complete his data analysis chapter within month. If memory serves right, he paid around $400 for the service pretty much worth every penny considering the peace of mind he got in return.

But let's be real one can't totally rule out misuse of such services either.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious in my dissertation approach?
 
Jumping in on this thread, think it's important to mention that "ethical" can be quite subjective, depending on your perspective. On one hand, as someone who's been through the dissertation grinder myself, totally get the appeal of these services. The process is grueling, and at times you'd give anything for some professional guidance or even just second pair of eyes. On the other hand, as an educational consultant now, see it from different angle. For instance, helping international students with their dissertations is significant part of my job. Their biggest challenges often revolve around language barriers and the intricacies of academic writing in English;).
