It is always advisable to contact a lawyer early when disputes, or misunderstandings are starting to reveal themselves to get advise as to how to manage the situation early on.
Make sure to read carefully any written contract and do not sign it if any ambiguity exists. The contract should clearly layout the scope of the work to be done.
