Copy of independent contractor form that I have has been emailed to you. It is sent without recommendations, simply a document I have had for 2 years of which origin I cannot attest to.
That said, caveat emptor.
And to CYA, document every conversation you have with a contactor. Date, time, what was brought up by either party.
Also, he said he said. He would have to PROVE you had that discussion in court and you simply deny it. Just a thought from watching People's Court.
Anyway, hope my email helps.
