How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Home Improvement Contract in Missouri

In 2023, a personal client in Missouri sought assistance with drafting a home improvement contract due to pressing circumstances surrounding a property sale. The client was required to complete necessary repairs, including new siding and gutters, before closing on the purchase. Given the seller's urgent health condition and financial limitations, the client needed a legally binding document to ensure that their interests were protected in the event of any unforeseen issues, including the seller's potential passing. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed attorney, with a flat fee bid of $800, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than one week.
