Lawyaw Review: Document Automation Software for Lawyers

For users who just want the court forms library, Lawyaw is priced at $70/user/month (with $30/add’l user/month. Otherwise, users can get all of the platform’s features for a price of $110/user/month (and $30/add’l user/month).

For Clio users, Lawyaw will pull new client information in from Clio Manage, so you don't have to create new contacts in the system. Users can also track Lawyaw drafting time within Clio.

For those without Clio, this is not necessarily a must-have. Lawyaw has a rather robust relational database built-in that can handle a substantial amount of your client information for you.

Lawyaw has a federally-compliant e-signature tool built right in. Since the product is web-based, lawyers simply sign online and then forward them to clients for their e-signature. This eliminates the need for a third-party e-signing tool such as HelloSign.

No. Currently, Lawyaw does not have a built-in or integrated ePayment system.

At the time of this writing, Lawyaw does not have Guided Interviews, however, users can easily send forms (or questionnaires) to clients in order to get information from them.

Lawyaw is a low-code document assembly platform. Its Microsoft Word add-in makes creating templates relatively easy, and users of the Court Forms will find the necessary functionality has already been built-out.

Yes. Using the MS Word add-in, or the browser, attorneys can easily import their current templates into the system to use. Although, you will have to set-up any logic that is required.

Lawyaw is tightly integrated with the California state court filing system, giving attorneys access to over 5,000 court forms. Additionally, they provide court forms for jurisdictions in all fifty states. Attorneys can fill out Judicial Council, county, and federal immigration forms with their platform. The company also updates those forms automatically, ensuring access to the most current version. This used to be their bread-and-butter, and for some attorneys, may be worth the sticker price in-and-of-itself.

The browser-based app is easy to get started with and, as of this review, Lawyaw's documentation is pretty comprehensive. So an office can get up-and-running pretty quickly. However, like all document assembly providers, we suggest users take advantage of their onboarding systems.

Lawyaw is a browser-based program so it will generally work on any computer running a modern browser. Obviously, using the Microsoft Word add-in will require you to be able to run MS Word on your computer.
