By Quenda Behler Story

For today's contractors, legal problems are usually hidden, like snakes in a swamp. This book shows you where to find them before they find you. You're less likely to need a $200-an-hour guide with a law degree if you follow the simple directions in this easy-to-read guidebook.

It gives you directions on the simple tasks you can do yourself without the help of a lawyer, as well as point out to you when you may actually need a "pro" to take your case. For the price of about 15 minutes in a lawyer’s office you'll have a guide that will make many of those visits unnecessary.

You'll find directions for starting a business, what to put in every contract, how to collect what's owed you, what laws affect your jobs, what to do about job injuries, how to file a lien that holds up, how to handle warranties, and where you’re liable for subcontractors.
