Be wary of SEO firms that employ black hat techniques or have unrealistic claims. These warnings come directly from Google Webmaster Central:

No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google
Be careful if a company is secretive or won't clearly explain what they intend to do
Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a "special relationship" with Google, or advertise a "priority submit" to Google. There is no priority submit for Google.
