We are sorry to hear that. Please note that as clearly indicated in our website. our initial consultation is at no charge. There are times when individuals want to have additional phone conferences and provide additional or new documentation that they want us to review before hiring us. We have to charge them for that because that is beyond our initial consultation. Thank you for your understanding.
