Pro Se Law in a Tough Economy

When the housing market is in free fall, when inflation begins to kick up, and when the price of food and gas starts to make even upper-middle income households sit up and take notice, people begin to question every expense more and more.

So when it comes to handling common legal situations like creating a Will, filing for No-Fault Divorce or Bankruptcy, or drafting a Lease, a Land Contract or a Real Estate Purchase Agreement, many Americans search to see if there is another option besides the high cost of attorney fees.

And people that find Standard Legal realize that there are affordable "pro se" (self help) legal solutions available.

Standard Legal offers legal forms software and document preparation services that allow everyday people to handle common legal situations on their own. And the costs are significantly less -- sometimes hundreds and even thousands of dollars less --than what an attorney would charge for the same end product.

Remember, if your legal situation is complicated or you need legal advice, we most certainly recommend that you find a qualified local attorney or law firm.

But if your legal situation is straight-forward, you should investigate whether legal forms software or document preparation services are an affordable option that can meet your needs.
