We The People

Legal Document Service -- alternative to lawyers. We empower people to represent themselves by preparing all the paperwork necessary for them to avoid lawyers in their uncontested legal matters. Fueled by the growing dissatisfaction of millions of Americans with our over-priced, under-responsive legal system, people who need to prepare routine legal paperwork are turning to independent paralegals like WE THE PEOPLE, instead of lawyers.
