Currently, my accountant bills $300 for my taxes, although they never charge me. I perform basic IT services for them in exchange.

I can't recall 100%, but I vaguely remember signing something with her basically saying we will pay her what she charges at the end of her services. Or maybe I just made that up in my head. Either way, I definitely ****** up, but I think it's partly because I was expecting to pay up to $300...not $950. That being said, if I really did sign something like that, she could technically charge me $10k - what's to stop her? There's has to be some sort of reasonable amount for this. I really rather settle with her and pay no more than $500 to get out of this mess with her...that's best case. I rather not take legal action because that would probably just end up financially worse for me. Is there any other way to get out of this?
