Each year 38 million low and moderate income Americans get closed out of the legal justice system.
According to the ABA Journal, it was estimated that consumers could save more than $1.3 billion annually by using document preparation services for just routine tasks – uncomplicated divorces, wills and business incorporations.
Over the past 20 years, lawyers’ hourly rates have more than doubled.
The hourly rates for attorneys from 1985 to 2003 increased almost twice as fast as the consumer price index, a measure of the average change in prices over time.
A 2002 American Bar Association survey found that only half of respondents that faced a legal situation in the past year hired a lawyer. The most frequent reasons given for not hiring a lawyer involved high legal fees.
The main force driving pro se litigation is money. For example, attorney fees can range from about $1500 for a simple divorce to tens of thousands of dollars for more complex cases. In contrast, the cost of a do-it-yourself divorce typically ranges from $250 to $500.
Only one in three Americans say they have a living will, one of the most important documents a person can have because it clearly states a patient’s end-of-life wishes.
Only 11% of people between the ages of 18 and 34 have drawn up a last will in testament.
A recent survey found that the vast majority of California consumers (96%) were satisfied with the quality of their legal document preparer’s service and would use an LDP again.
If your situation is something simple, relatively routine, or not in dispute, chances are that a legal document preparer can help you get the documents you need and save you a lot of money in the process.
