Attorney for contractors: contracts, trust and will with partner attorneys.
ODC is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We connect you with independent lawyers and get your papers and your bookkeeping ready so you make the most of your appointment.
A strategic partner handles it
If you work without a trusted attorney, this is what happens to you.
You sign one-page contracts or agree by word of mouth
If the client doesn't pay or asks for changes, nothing is clear in writing.
You don't know who to call
You look for a lawyer when you already have the problem, and sometimes it's too late.
Your family and your business depend on you
Without a trust or will, your decisions are not put in writing.
You show up to the appointment without papers
You waste time, and the attorney's time costs money.
Your company papers are incomplete
Without a corporate book or minutes, the attorney doesn't know where to start.
When do you need this service? Everyday examples.
You’re about to sign a big contract
You want an attorney to review it before you commit to a client.
A client doesn't pay you
You want to know what options you have, such as preliminary notices and liens. Ask your attorney.
You are going to hire subcontractors
You want a clear contract for the work, the payments and the insurance.
You want a trust and a will
You have a family, a home and a business, and you want to put everything in writing.
You’re thinking about a holding company
You want to understand whether it makes sense to separate properties or investments from the business.
This is what changes when you have a partner lawyer.
Clearer contracts
With scope, payments and changes in writing, there are fewer disputes with your clients.
A lawyer to call
You know who to talk to before signing or when a letter arrives.
Your family, more at ease
A trust and a will, made by an attorney, put your decisions in writing.
Get more out of your appointments
You arrive with documents and questions, and make better use of every hour.
