I had a run in with Suzanne Martin Associates way back in ’99. I had just started my design company and took a job from her. Needless to say I honoured my suppliers but never received payment. She nearly killed my business within the first 4 months of trading. I did get the last laugh though as my business and I went on to great success, never making that mistake again.

Anyone who plans to work with suzanne martin & associates should run a full credit check (and CRB check if appropriate) on the company and its director – there are several CCJ’s recorded, and the accounts have not been submitted to companies house. It seems to be in serious trouble in the uk and india. Have a look at other links on google.

Suzanne Martin is the Sweeney Todd of PR.

She lures clients into her lair and after promising the world and making lots of reassuring noises, she goes for the jugular. I have no doubt that if she could make them into meat pies she would! Instead, she systematically fails to deliver, produces made up invoices and contracts and subsequently bullies and manipulates her “clients” with threats of legal action coupled with outrageous counter claims should anyone dare to challenge her.

Many have settled out of court due to the simple fact that they incur such high legal fees (let alone the time spent in trying to defend outrageous lies, threats and allegations) that they just want rid of her. Her recent trend is to use an “incident” in India as a defense mechanism to gain time and sympathy from the courts.

She must be stopped.

Suzanne Martin & Associates is still trading, but is in litigation with many ex-clients and suppliers, including me. Her view of the law is distorted, and this type of threat is typical of her methods to extort money with threats of court action. She only wins when people are frightened enough to settle. She has lost all cases which have got to a court hearing. Be prepared for the expense of court action if you deal with her, but don’t expect to get your money back. She has county court judgements against her, and even sues barristers etc.

Haha,

If she keeps suing previous clients she won’t have any clients left. Its always better to leave customers on good terms when they want to stop taking your services. That way you have a good chance of getting more work in the future from them.

Not a wise course for her

/me Just my 2 cents….

I believe that XXXXX.com already paid Suzanne Martin for the work she done… As a web developer once your work is done for the client all finished materials will go to the client unless you state or define (both parties) that all source code / art works will have a copyright in a written contract and attested by the government.

‘committing a criminal offence’ <— it’s ‘offense’ on ‘offence’ did X31 killed somebody?
