Send me your contract and I promise I'll find lots of loopholes and problems and then you won't need representation!  LOL

Here's the advice I give when you are putting together information needed to get your contract rolling. First keep it simple, don't worry about legal jargon, the attorney will add that. Sit down and make a list of all the things that could go wrong (this should be a lengthy list) Then make a list of all the services you will be providing. Keep in mind that you will not be creating a ONE size fits all contract however your attorney can keep a draft and certain things you can add/delete as necessary. When looking for a lawyer don't expect to find one that has dealt with medical billing. You can find a good General practice attorney (one that specializes in contracts is a good fit) show him your lists and from there he can create a good contract for you. The reason behind the lists is to cut down on your costs, even the best contract attorney isn't going to know YOUR business so you have to present him with your expectations. Since I am/was primarily doing consulting work my contracts were very different so I opted to keep my attorney on retainer. That also comes in handy when I have something come up. I pay him $1300 a year and I get to bug him as much as I want <g> To me it's worth it. When I started out I paid an attorney $320 to take my pitiful 2 page contract and help me turn it into a real contract, when we were done the result was 11 pages. Today my standard full practice management contract is 13 Pages.
