About Tina Watkins

I have family members who are remodeling contractors and carpenters. Over the years, I've watched them navigate the real challenges of running a construction business — not just the physical work, but the business side that nobody prepares you for.

I've seen firsthand how legal issues affect contractors. An unpaid invoice from a customer who disputes the work. A contract that didn't clearly define the scope, leading to a disagreement that cost more to fight than to absorb. A subcontractor situation that turned into a dispute with no clear resolution. These aren't rare events — they're part of running a contracting business.

What struck me most was how often these situations could have been prevented or resolved more effectively with access to basic legal guidance. But traditional legal services are expensive. A single consultation with a business attorney can cost $300 to $500 or more — and that's before any actual legal work begins.

ContractorProResource.com was created to help contractors understand how they can protect their businesses with affordable access to legal guidance. This site provides educational resources on the legal risks contractors face, and introduces LegalShield — a membership-based service that gives contractors access to a provider law firm at a fraction of traditional legal costs.

As an Independent LegalShield Associate, I believe every contractor deserves access to an attorney — not just those who can afford hourly rates. The goal of this site is to make that access more visible and more attainable.
