So let’s say you have to pay for the attorney to find a document to steal ... um ... use as inspiration. Then to edit it. Then to expand it with additional provisions that are specific to your issue. You now have a serviceable, if overly complex, document. What is the cost/benefit for paying the attorney to do the complicated, complex, and time-consuming work of going back into that document and streamlining it so that it “reads nice?” Pretty de minimis, right? What about the cost/benefit of having the attorney create your contract completely from scratch?"I had no idea the legal profession had so much in common with software development.</blockquote>
