If we pay her what she says we owe her, what right do I have to see the backup after? Is there

a law you know?

Should I try to call a lawyer today, before we pay,

Chris do you have a lawyer you use for your contracts that would talk to me today? We need someone to decipher her legal rights and mine. If a lawyer says to pay all and then we legally have the right to see back up....that would be a relief. I am sure she is charging us retail and then takeing anither 30%. She already charged me 12,000 for a 5,000 mantel. That's just the tip. There is a 95,000 mill work bill. I went to the apartment and got the name of that vendor in Fairfied, Conn. Not all his work is done. Can I call him and ask to come see the rest of my kitchen cabinets and work and try to get his prises.

i dont think that will work . you should agree to pay her the full amount , and then you have the rigth to see things. tricky but she refuses to speak to me as well

Peggy - she did not respond to any of my emails or phone calls.

I think it might be best for you to reach out directly.

Josh, would you...or should I, call Karen to set a meeting?

I think the only way to settle his "blind billing" is to try to get her in a room with the contract and all the bills and go over everything.

She had offered to sit down with me to explain all the billing, and I think, since no one has a clear picture of her work ethics, this would be a solution.

It has never been an issue about paying her for the work. The issue is to clarity in billing and percentages of commissions.

Can anyone chime in as to how we might accomplish this asap. Thank you in advance for any help. Peggy
