Florida: How can we ensure that our contracts, non-disclosure, and other documents do not have legal "holes" in them? Will "stock" documents work?

While I understand the desire to keep your costs low, when you do not have an attorney with expertise review the documents that you are using for your particular business, you run the risk that the "one size fits all" documents will not apply to your situation. Obviously, I cannot tell you that documents from sites such as LegalZoom.com are adequate for your purposes; while they may work, I cannot in the abstract and without talking with you about the specifics of your needs and business give you any assurance that they will work. The type of documents and review that you are suggesting in your question seem to be critical for the success of your business. I am not sure why you feel that you should spend the minimal amount that you can such critical documents. Also, sometimes an attorney can provide you with these documents at a lower fee than if they have to review downloaded documents. There should still be the same time for the consultation with you, so you would not be saving money there.  And many attorneys will not review downloaded documents because they do not want to assume any responsibility for someone else's documents. We obviously hear the horror stories about using those types of documents, and costs and damages from them, but I cannot tell you whether that is the rule or the exception to the rule (maybe we only hear of the problems and not the successes). Finally, I cannot tell you what a fee will be for a review or a document prep engagement. That would require much more information from you.  Fees will usually depend on the specific facts and circumstances and needs of your business.

I agree with Hilary.  You wouldn't use "one size fits all" for your computer programs and custom websites either. We offer flat fees and would be please to assist you in cleaning up the documents.
