How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Residential Service Contract in Colorado

In 2023, a personal client in Colorado sought assistance with drafting a residential service contract due to ongoing issues with their duplex neighbor regarding water and sewer services. The client had previously managed and billed the neighbor for their share of maintenance costs; however, recent unauthorized use of their water for construction prompted the need for a formal agreement to ensure fair compensation and clear communication regarding service responsibilities. The client emphasized the importance of protecting their interests and sought to address past maintenance expenses while establishing more defined terms for any future work. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed attorney, with a flat fee bid priced around $750, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of one week.
