Or, if you want a real answer, find the wording you want, insert the fields
you need, and save it as a template or a document, such as in Word.

The thing JoAnn was getting at is that you haven't really stated your need.
Instead, you simply asked a very vague, general question. Where are you
having problems? What exactly do you need help with, Todd?

Actually I meant that a generic template for a disclamer statement is worth
what you'd pay for it - nothing. Anyone who tries to go cheap when it comes
to legal issues is asking to have their keester nailed to the wall by an
opposing attorney.

Oh, that, JoAnn, I agree. But a fool and his money are soon parted.

Then again, the person asking COULD be an attorney, but clueless about using
Word and/or templates.

If someone wants to create their own stuff, so be it. I will help people
create stuff, but I won't tell what they created is worth anything more than
the contents flushed down the toilet each day.

I can't really picture an attorney creating their own templates. I can see
him/her hading their work to an admin.

And I'm so proud of myself. It was everything I had to not use the term
shark.

Many attorneys work in one or two person offices, so it isn't beyond belief
that an attorney would be creating his/her own templates. I know far too
many, as I have to deal with them on a regular basis because of my line of
work. Argh!

You fought off saying "shark," whereas I had to fight off saying, "ambulance
chaser."

We should both pat ourselves on our backs. ;-)

Make ya a deal. I will have an attorney buy my lunch -- and coffee -- and
that will be a pat on each of our backs -- at the expense.

How's that? I am meeting with one tomorrow to discuss ideas for a site he
wants. I will have him meet me at a restaurant and have him pay. Fair's fair
unless an attorney is involved, then more-than-fair isn't enough. (I borrowed
that line from an attorney I work with faily often.)

Back on-topic, though:
What would be the most common templates used in an attorney's office?

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Make sure you eat some pasta for me and it's a deal!

I would think the most common template would be an invoice for services
rendered.

Actually, what I found out from several attorneys I know is that the most
common form depends on the type of practice.

While an invoice seems to be close to the top or at the top (as with most
businesses), other things, such as the paperwork filed (a few used different
names for what "sounds" like the same thing -- but it could also be based on
the type of law being practiced) filed to launch the initial action --
divorce, injunction, lawsuit, etc., is right up there, too.

One attorney (he handles business/corporate stuff) said it isn't uncommon
for him to file several of what seems identical documents -- but each one is
slightly different -- when a corporation changes specific things in its
organizational structure or moves. He has to file the same paperwork for
each entity owned by the corporation, so I guess it's probably the address of
the corporation and listing of the corporate officers for the secretary of
state or other similar agency.

I was being a bit sarcastic with that response. So did you get that pasta
lunch at the attorney's expense?
