Best Law Firm Solutions, Inc. - Law Office Technology Experts

Document Assembly facilitates building "intelligence" into your documents and forms, so that depending on whether a client is male or female for example, it will insert all the correct pronouns into your document. If your practice is largely transactional, Document Assembly software will dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to assemble boilerplate, standard documents that you use regularly. A well-designed template walks even a novice user through the assembly process of even the most complex documents, while nearly eliminating the possibility of operator error, spelling errors, and formatting problems. The old cut-and-paste/search-and-replace ("CP/SR") document generation method employed by many (most) lawyers is slow and has a high margin for error. Nothing affects the bottom line better than Document Assembly Software. Best Law Firm Solutions is a Lexis/Nexis-HotDocs®, HotDocs® PDF Advantage and HotDocsPro® CIC (Certified Independent Consultant).

HotDocs allows users to replace changeable text with variables (i.e., "Testator Name", "Testator Street Address"), make the inclusion of text (words, sentences, paragraphs, etc.) conditional, gather lists, and automatically calculate dates, text and numbers. With each new variable, you create a corresponding question (prompt) which is presented to the user during the assembly process. Generating a new document is a simple matter of answering the simple questions generated by the template. After the questions are answered, the completed document appears on the screen (in MSWord or WordPerfect), ready to save and print, etc. The on-screen interview is quite powerful because the template designer can control everything about the sequence and content of the interview. With practice, you can reproduce your entire decision tree in the template and build in safe-guards that walk even novice users through the assembly. HotDocs systems are much more accurate than CP/SR because they only require the user to enter case-specific facts and the items that change (party names, etc.). The template does all the work of including the appropriate paragraphs, excluding the irrelevant ones, verb conjugation, punctuating lists, calculating numbers and dates, correcting personal pronouns and replacing the items in need of replacement. For many people witnessing this method of document generation for the first time, it is nothing short of an epiphany. Isn't it time that you put the elegant power of HotDocs to work for you?
