We requested Suzanne Goldsmith for her advertisement “ free consultation” after speaking with her and reviewing her fees we verbally hired her. She spoke more about her husband , Indiana, her up and coming cruise. This was at the end May - our meeting - but she states she do our paperwork the fir...st week of July. I called her numerous times and finally in August she advised us again of fees which now are higher. She also sent us paperwork with higher amounts too and that was she waiving the additional consultation fee that took longer than normal. Which I advised we knew more about her than she knew about us. She than set up a time to sign several papers but insisted we had to provide witnesses- we advised her we don’t want our friends or neighbors to know our confidential information. We had to be extremely firm with her on the witness issue. Finally the day of signing she presents paperwork and my husband name is misspelled, thru the whole signing she kept complaining about how much work this took. She presents her bill for her payment and states it higher due to maricopa recorder fee went up. From start to finish she has over charged us by $50 according to HER fees she presented to us on day one. Buyer beware.

As with all new clients, I always review and have clients sign my Attorney Fee Schedule and Retainer Agreement at the first consult. In this case, a Retainer was signed and fees charged and collected when documents were completed which were exactly the same as quoted on day one- not a penny more was charged.
