About Make Legal Docs

How Make Legal Docs Works

Getting started with Make Legal Docs is simple and straightforward. Our platform is designed to work with your existing documents, so you don't need to start from scratch or learn complicated new systems.

Step 1: Upload Your Templates

Start with the legal documents you already use and trust. Simply upload your existing Word documents and convert them into smart templates by marking the fields that change from client to client. Our system supports all standard document types including probate forms, estate planning documents, civil pleadings, and more.

Step 2: Store Client Information

Enter your client and matter information once, and reuse it across all documents. Our secure database stores all your client data, making it easy to generate multiple documents without re-entering the same information repeatedly. Your data is encrypted and backed up regularly.

Step 3: Generate Documents Instantly

With one click, generate perfectly formatted legal documents using your templates and client data. What used to take hours of find-and-replace now takes seconds. Review, edit if needed, and download as a standard Word document ready for filing or client delivery.

Step 4: Reuse and Refine

As your practice evolves, update your templates at any time. Changes propagate to all future documents automatically. Build a library of your best work and ensure consistency across your entire practice.

Why Attorneys Choose Make Legal Docs

Built by an Attorney, for Attorneys

Make Legal Docs was created by John Nelson, a practicing attorney who understood the frustration of repetitive document preparation. This isn't generic software adapted for law - it's purpose-built for legal practice from day one.

Your Documents, Your Control

Unlike services that force you to use their templates, Make Legal Docs works with YOUR documents. You maintain complete control over language, formatting, and content. Export your data anytime - no vendor lock-in.

Proven Time Savings

Attorneys using Make Legal Docs report saving 3-5 hours per month on document preparation. That's billable time you can reclaim or use to grow your practice. One attorney reduced probate document prep from 2 hours to 15 minutes.

Works Everywhere You Do

Cloud-based platform works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and even iPad. Generate documents from the office, home, or courthouse. No installation required - just log in from any modern web browser.
