Very Poor and useles, a scam, don't waste your money, those templates are useless and do Not give you Any valid,proper, meeningful wording to use, did Not Help me, nothing more than what a 5th grader can come up with as far as wording or example..I feel I was riped off and this is a total scam... nothing useful
We appreciate all feedback, even when it’s critical. Thousands of customers have successfully used our documents, but they are not for everyone. These are reviewed, fill-in-the-blank templates that provide the wording and structure required by law. Some situations call for more personalized guidance or hand-holding than templates alone can provide, and in those cases an attorney may be the better option.
