Why Choose ProDoc

Simply Stated... ProDoc Document Assembly Sytems Make Your Life Easier

Alan Schoolcraft
Founder/CEO, ProDoc, Inc.

In law school, they sure didn’t tell us what a tough business the law practice is. When we graduated, many of us expected to simply open an office, put our name in the phone book, and then watch as the clients came running into the office.

“I opened my small office practice in September 2004.  Thankfully, I realized ‘in the nick of time’ that my business would not -- could not -- survive without ProDoc.  To date, I can get by just fine without support staff because this software allows me to do just about everything with ease and efficiency. Thank you ProDoc!”

Helen D. Jones, Esq.

The cold reality is that a law practice is a business and if you don’t run it like a business, you are not going to make the money you expect. For more than 20 years, I have watched many of my friends struggling to make the living they had assumed their law license guaranteed. Many of them are brilliant lawyers, but they don’t really know how to run their practice as a business.

I created ProDoc because I was tired of working long hours just to pay the overhead. I had a growing practice, but it seemed my overhead was growing faster than my income. For a while, I was falling into the same trap as so many
of my colleagues.

The “Longer Hours or Hire More Staff” Paradox

Too many of us think that the only way to handle more business is to either work longer hours or hire more staff.

That kind of thinking just doesn't make sense. With the first option, you work so hard you can’t enjoy the benefits of your labor. With the second option, the benefits of all of your hard work fly out the window as you pay ever-increasing support staff salaries.

According to a recent study of the legal industry:

Attorneys on average spend 43 percent of their time creating documents and their support staffs spend an astounding 60 percent of their time doing the same thing. Most attorneys are stunned to learn that the single, largest time killer in a law office is paperwork. If you are serious about taking more money home, then you must make your office more efficient. To become more efficient, you must attack the one task that consumes more hours than any other task in your office — creating and editing documents.

That’s what ProDoc is all about we dramatically slash the time you and your staff spend drafting documents!

Here at ProDoc, our motto is “Twice the documents in half the time.” Well, I actually believe it’s more like “three or four times the documents in half the time” but we were afraid nobody would believe that, so we actually understate the benefits of using ProDoc.

“ProDoc allows me to offer my clients effective and efficient family law or criminal law representation. It keeps the fees coming in for this type of work, without causing me to get completely covered up with it, so that I can have more time to handle my PI cases.

Being a solo practitioner, ProDoc frees me up to do more things that are important to my PI practice, while allowing me to take on client matters in other areas (family and criminal law) and keep my practice more profitable.

For what I pay to ProDoc every month, it saves me five times that much in productivity. It's fantastic!”

How ProDoc Saves You Time and Increases Accuracy

We have more than 20 full-time staff attorneys who develop our automated forms to handle much of the repetitive and inefficient paperwork in a law practice. Our forms systems automatically cut and paste, renumber paragraphs, merge data, and perform all the other routine tasks that go into drafting completed documents.

While you and your staff can certainly do all these steps manually with your word processor, ProDoc handles all of them, and a whole lot more, automatically in a matter of seconds, rather than minutes or hours.

 
The Story of ProDoc

I practiced real estate law and I had a sweet deal with a large title company. I provided them with the first plain paper fax machines and they sent me all their document orders.

The problem was that my overhead was killing the profits. I kept hiring more staff to keep up with the workload so my net income inched up incrementally instead of skyrocketing like I expected.

To make the process more efficient I started playing with macros, simple database merges, and anything else I could think of.

They were an improvement but nothing I found could meet my most fundamental requirement—logic internal to the form—enabling it to cut and paste the right paragraphs... according to my needs.

Literally, that’s what led me to learn computer programming... so I could “create” ProDoc.

Draft one document or multiple documents simultaneously in ProDoc and you will discover something astonishing; you enter information such as names, addresses, and dates just once and ProDoc reuses that information in every place and in every document you draft for the rest of the case.

Because we know how important current forms are to you, we regularly update our forms systems and automatically send you the updates.

We also make it easy to let you customize your documents because we know no software can always create the perfect document in all situations. On the other hand, no other software has ever been closer to producing perfect documents. It truly is revolutionary and I guarantee that it will pay for itself many times over, month after month.

How ProDoc Makes You a Better Lawyer

Yes … in addition to saving you time...ProDoc will make you a better lawyer.

First, you will generate even the most complex document in minutes instead of hours. If it is a simple motion, letter, order, etc., it’ll be ready to go with virtually no further editing in your word processor.

But, if it is a complex document, a pleading for instance, it will be 80 - 90% done for you. Most of our users call it "a great starting place" and it only takes minutes to get you there. You’ve just freed up hours and hours — formerly devoted to editing just the boiler plate — that you can now focus on the legal issues. After all, that’s really what your client is paying you for, isn’t it?

Just that one document—generated in ProDoc—could have freed you from your office one or two hours earlier today. What are you waiting for?

Here’s Just One Way You Boost Your Income With ProDoc

I know… I know… you’re a lawyer out to save the world and protect the innocent. But, when I went to law school I expected my JD to guarantee me a better than average income. I find that most lawyers I talk to feel like I did... we're just not paid enough for what we put up with.

So, let's talk about a simple way that ProDoc will boost your profitability.

With ProDoc, one secretary can carry the workload of two… sometimes three. Now you could boost your case load without increasing your staffing — your accountant will love it (and so will you) — and, you'll all go home at more reasonable hours.

If you don't have a legal assistant, then you really need ProDoc... and you can get along just fine without one for years to come.

Basically, it’s nothing more than leverage. Put simply, ProDoc enables you to multiply yourself, and your legal support staff, producing more results with less effort.

ProDoc Is Flexible

“ProDoc was definitely worth trying out for a month without any cost obligation.  I am a solo practitioner which means I do everything — from answering phones all the way through conducting the trial.  ProDoc has saved me a tremendous amount of time.

  I travel a lot and the ability to take ProDoc with me is extremely beneficial because when I come back to the office all I have to do is plug my laptop into the printer and print!! 

This is definitely a must-have tool for the solo practitioner and small law firm.

ProDoc generates amazingly customized documents using the logic and intelligence our attorney-developers program into each of our automated systems. Whether you’re preparing pleadings, motions, orders, or any of the thousands of automated forms that we supply, ProDoc knows just what questions to ask to create the finished document for you. And, if by chance, unusual facts of a particular case require additional customizing, it's easy to do any final editing in your word processor.

But that is not all there is to ProDoc’s flexibility. You can easily add your favorite language to our master templates… modify the formatting and fonts for the finished documents…. add your preferred footer to the finished documents. And, you can even add your own forms into ProDoc.

ProDoc Is Easy to Learn

Finally, you might be wondering how difficult ProDoc is to install and learn. Well, ProDoc has always had a reputation for being easy to use. Our latest version, however, is even easier! With all the innovations we have added to the latest version of ProDoc, you will be producing documents with unprecedented speed and accuracy in less than 15 minutes from the time you install it — it’s just that simple and user friendly!

Our NO RISK Offer Means Just That

I believe so strongly in ProDoc that every ProDoc customer enjoys our standard subscription offering:

“ProDoc is a Godsend for me – I don’t know what I would do without it! I’m not very computer-literate, but ProDoc has allowed me to practice as a true solo practitioner without any support staff. I’m also very impressed with the service – I’ve never seen a company so committed to training, customer support, feedback, etc. Thanks, ProDoc, for making my life and my practice so much easier.”

After all, there is nothing to hold them to us except the value they receive from ProDoc. I feel truly blessed every month to receive that kind of a vote of confidence from our customers.

A Proven Track Record

Take a look at our track record:

“I was so far behind yesterday because I let my secretary go a week ago. I had two divorces, one contempt motion and two modifications I had to do.

I was able to rip those out so fast that I can’t really say enough good words about how the system saves time, especially in Family Law.”

  • We’ve been around since 1991.
  • Fifteen firms that joined us that year still actively use ProDoc.
  • More than 32,000 lawyers and support staff today use ProDoc.
  • Not a single one of them is tied to us by anything other than our standard month-to-month subscription program.

I think you will agree — this is a remarkable track record. Consider this:

Every month... every one of our customers votes whether to stay with us the next month. That's the beauty of our subscription plan. And still... they stay with us... month after month... year after year.

Isn't it time for you to discover ProDoc for yourself?
