What does Lawsmith draft for a contract amendment?

Targeted changes to an existing business contract. You start from the matter's documents, describe it in your own words, or answer plain intake questions, and the draft comes back as an editable Word document for your review.

Where do the citations come from?

From the statutes, court rules, regulations and forms Lawsmith has saved from each state's government publishers, with the date each text was read and a label saying whether it is the official text. Before writing, the drafter must quote the saved text behind each citation; a citation with no checked quotation reaches you marked for verification.

Is it reviewed by an attorney?

No. Every draft is a first draft for a licensed attorney's review before it is signed, filed or sent. Each citation in it quotes the text Lawsmith has on file or is marked for verification.

Five documents free, no card. After that, Professional is $499 a month for one attorney.
