Is Legal Self Help Right For You?
By Kennard McGill
For common legal matters you don’t have to hire an attorney, who could charge you hundreds even thousands of dollars versus using a legal self help service.
Technological advancements have allowed consumers to do numerous activities online today, providing convenience and instant access to services once considered expensive and time consuming.
Finding a lawyer to handle your legal issues is no longer necessary especially if completing the appropriate legal documents is all that is required to fulfill your personal or business needs.
Businesses that offer legal document services, from free downloadable legal forms to legal document services are growing. Their growth is due to two factors: one being the overwhelming demand for legal self help services as it provides a cheaper alternative to traditional lawyers; and two it’s often a much quicker and convenient choice. Today over 50% of all divorces are now done without legal representation.
Legal self help services typically cover common legal matters such as business incorporation, copyright fillings, trademark applications, uncontested divorces, small claims, living wills and much more. Typically what’s required is that your forms are prepared accurately and submitted to the appropriate court or agency.
An important distinction should be made when it comes to those who download legal documents or use a legal self help service versus an attorney. Legal self help service companies are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice. Only a license attorney can provide actual legal advice for your situation. It is against the law for a document preparation service to provide legal advice.
Legal services online will generally check your forms for accuracy and submit them for you with instructions and the steps you need to take to advance your legal matter.
As well, downloading your legal documents will often mean you doing all the work of verifying your documents for accuracy and submitting them as well to the appropriate agency. This maybe risky as you run a chance of filling incomplete paper work thus prolonging your legal matter. Yet, you can still have a legal professional review your documents to ensure they are accurate.
Examining your current legal needs is crucial to saving yourself time and money. Legal self help service agencies are no substitute for someone needing the assistance of an attorney. But if you have an uncontested legal matter legal self help or do-it-your-self legal documents is by far the best and cheapest solution to solving your legal needs.
