User Testimonials
	Clio Draft	Mitratech HotDocs
Likelihood to Recommend	If you want to save time and reduce errors, this software will get you there. Incentivized Samuel Thomas Attorney/Owner Read full review	If you are doing transactional documents, HotDocs is a game-changer. If there are only a few select variables that change while the remainder of the work mostly consists of form language, this is a program that will dramatically increase efficiency. Even the most technical and dense documents can be turned into a template, as long as you are willing to take the time to invest in future time saving. However, if the majority of the work that you are doing is not constantly repeating, this may not be the software for you. Incentivized GL Garrett Lemons Paralegal Read full review
Pros	Reduces scrivener's errors. Saves time Incentivized Samuel Thomas Attorney/Owner Read full review	Easy to use and quick when it comes to creating documents Template personalization can range from simple to quite complex The engine is continually running and producing papers swiftly and effortlessly Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Integrations with case management platforms, such as MyCase Zapier integrations Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	HotDocs is difficult to develop new documents as it's as complicated as programming at times. I often have to call for assistance. The tables can be frustrating. It makes it hard to insert between items as you have to make sure it doesn't offset other areas.

Alternatives Considered	MyCase now has signature and template features, but no way to use court forms. There's just nothing out there that compares to LawYaw for law offices. Before LawYaw, we had looked into creating our own software to do what LawYaw does (obviously, that was very complicated and expensive). It has every court form for anywhere in California already built into it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Hotdocs as compared to Legito is better because of many reasons. The subscription pricing of Legito is too expensive as compared to Hotdocs. Secondly, it doesn't integrate well with Microsoft Word as compared to Hotdocs. Thirdly, Legito is only web based where as Hotdocs can be used online as well as it has a desktop version too Incentivized Prakul Sharma AI Reporting Read full review
Return on Investment	It has been a huge time saver for everyone at our firm. It's so easy to use that our staff actually enjoys using it. Our ROI is almost incalculable because of all the features for the price. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It makes it easy to fill out the form. I really only use it for the one form, it doesn't do as well with the other forms. Incentivized Riva Schwartz Office Manager Read full review
