Contract for freelance work
ScottWhigham: Yes, I use a contract. Depending on the work, yes, I will consult a lawyer. I had a client that, for $1000 advice-based contract, had a never-ending clause that said something to the effect of, "You are liable for all of our attorney costs and damages in the event something goes wrong." You need to watch out for stuff like that and that's often where the attorneys come in handy.
