Legal Document Preparation for Law Firms & Litigants
Your documents. Your decisions.
Nationwide
Drafted to your facts
You stay in control
Legal paperwork should
Legal document preparation is the drafting of a legal or court document from facts, records and instructions supplied by the client, then returned to that client to review, sign and file themselves. Court Drafters provides remote legal document preparation to U.S. law firms, attorneys and self-represented litigants across the United States.
Most pro se litigants understand their own situation perfectly well. What stops them is the court paperwork itself — the formatting, the structure, the sections a court expects to see, and the pressure of a deadline. Court Drafters exists for that gap.
Court rules, formatting conventions, filing procedures and available forms differ between jurisdictions and between individual courts. The federal judiciary publishes the current Federal Rules of Practice and Procedure, and each state court publishes its own, so the rules that apply to your court should always be confirmed. We prepare documents to the requirements you identify.
Our work can include legal research, document-focused guidance and drafting recommendations. Final decisions remain yours: you decide the position, sign the document and file it.

Document-scope assessment (a scope check, not a case evaluation).
We draft it from your facts, structured for your court.
You review, sign and file it yourself (the easy part).
Asked
A legal document is a written record that sets out rights, obligations, claims or instructions in a form recognised for legal or court use — for example a pleading, motion, petition, affidavit, declaration, contract or demand letter. Court documents follow the structure and formatting a court expects; other legal documents follow the conventions of the transaction they record.
No. Court Drafters is a document preparation and drafting service. We are not a U.S. law firm, we do not act as your attorney, and using this service does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Court and litigation documents such as motions, pleadings, petitions, affidavits and declarations; civil lawsuit documents including complaints, answers and counterclaims; family law paperwork; contracts and agreements; and claim documentation for injury matters.
No. You file your own documents. Filing procedures, fees and accepted formats vary by court, so confirm them with the court where your matter is filed.
We can research the applicable rules, analyse the issues and recommend how a document is best presented. The decision on what to file is yours. Where a matter needs representation or jurisdiction-specific advice in a state where we are not licensed, obtain appropriately licensed counsel.
You send your materials, we confirm scope and identify missing information, we prepare the draft, and you review, sign and file it yourself.
The papers you have received or filed, the facts as you understand them, any deadline you know of, and any draft you have already started.
Yes. Attorneys use the service for overflow drafting and litigation support. Scope, supervision, review and filing remain with the instructing attorney.
Yes. We work remotely with clients nationwide across the United States. Because court rules and procedural requirements vary by state, court and case type, documents are prepared to the rules of the specific court you identify.
Court rules, formatting conventions and filing procedures vary by jurisdiction, by court and by case type. We prepare documents to the requirements you identify for your court. You should confirm the applicable rules with that court before filing, and we will tell you if a requirement appears to be missing from the information you have supplied.
