Selling Your Own Docs via DirectLaw's Virtual Law Firm Platform

Selling Non-Rapidocs Documents via DirectLaw's Virtual Law Firm Platform

In May 2010, we enabled the sale of non-Rapidocs documents in response to our #1 law firm question: 

"Can I sell my own documents?"   Yes, you can!

While this option does not have the benefits and efficiencies that our libraries of Rapidocs-based documents offer -- i.e., clients won't immediately access and complete an online Questionnaire that will create their docs behind the scenes -- our open platform offers the flexibility for law firms to easily sell their own documents via the firm's "menu" of available documents.  The graphic below illustrates how the "menu" appears on the firm site.   

Are your documents already created in HotDocs?  Learn how you can sell them via the platform.

How It Works -- Selling Non-Rapidocs Documents:

  1. Document purchase is made, and the firm is notified via e-mail.

  2. A record appears on the firm's Attorney Dashboard.

  3. Firm obtains from the client the info necessary to prepare the purchase document(s).

    NOTE:  We encourage firms to use the collaborative features of the platform to facilitate this information gathering process.  Example:  Start a secure communication with the client to provide details on next steps; Upload the firm's own questionnaire or intake form (Word or .pdf format) to the client space; Client returns the completed questionnaire via the upload/file sharing function.
     

  4. Firm uses the info in the completed questionnaire or intake form to prepare the client's document(s).

  5. Firm uploads completed document(s); the client is notified and downloads his/her completed document(s) from the client space.
