Client Reviews of Delanne Conte

Ms. Del quoted me a fee between $200- $300, which was fine with me. I took all needed documents to her; she went through all, mine and my two dependents. She asked me some questions, I told her I do not know anything about taxes, I guessed she think I'm a sucker that she can take advantage of. She NEVER told or informed me of the fact that she will need to file taxes for my dependents. I was SHOCKED when she told me her fee was now $600 when I was ready to pick up my return. I asked her why she did not let me know when she realized the price would double to her initial quote. I used an analogy that when one take car for repair, one is informed of the repair and associated costs and one have to agree before work commence I asked? I offered to negotiate the fee down to $500, but she was not interested. She asked me to pick up my documents. I ended having this done by H&R Block for $378.00. I found this to be highly unprofessional and dubious because I told her I did not know anything about taxes, she think she can just charge me any amount, take advantage of me knowing that the deadline was just days away. Now I am afraid she might mess with my vital data out of spite. I am hoping she will be professional enough not to do such. I will NEVER go to her or recommend anyone go to her for taxes. I have all the emails between us.
