Draft a legal document
Describe what you need in your own words. We will look for a template to start from, or you can start with a blank document.
Most requested
How it works
Three steps, and nothing to install or sign up for
Step 1
Say what you need
Type a document name, or describe the situation in your own words. GO Draft finds the closest template and tells you what it matched on.
Step 2
Fill it in with help
Section by section, each one explained in plain English. Ask what a clause means, or ask for it to be written more in your favour, and the language changes.
Step 3
Download and sign
A PDF to print and sign, or a Word file you can keep editing. Yours to reuse.
Optional: have a licensed attorney look at it
Real money involved, a long-term relationship, or the other side has a lawyer? Send the finished draft to a GO LAW attorney. They see everything you have already done, you get a flat fee quoted before any work starts, and nothing is charged until you have agreed to the engagement letter.

Attorney review
Some documents deserve a lawyer
Real money at stake, the other side has counsel, or something in the document is bothering you. A licensed attorney at GO LAW can take it from here.
1. You ask
Describe the work. An attorney at GO LAW quotes a flat fee for it.
2. You read the terms
An engagement letter, in writing, before anything is charged.
3. You decide
You pay after you have agreed to the letter, and not before.
4. You get an answer
The attorney answers you in writing, on the document you already have.
Good to know
When you should stop and call a lawyer
GO Draft handles ordinary paperwork well. Some situations deserve a human, and we would rather say so than not.
- Real money is on the line: buying property, selling a business, a six-figure contract.
- It is a long-term relationship: a partnership, an employment deal, a multi-year lease.
- The other side has counsel and you do not.
- Your facts are unusual, or you are not sure it holds up in your state.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is GO Draft really free?
Yes. Searching for a template, working through the document and downloading it cost nothing. There is no subscription, no hidden fee and no account. Attorney review is the only paid thing GO LAW offers, and it is optional.
Will my document actually be legally binding?
That depends on your facts, on your state and on how the document is used, and nothing on this page can tell you. GO Draft gives you a document to work from and explains what each part does. Whether the version you sign holds up is exactly the judgment an attorney is for.
What kinds of documents can I draft?
Business formation and contracts, employment, real estate and leases, family law, intellectual property, personal services, and more. If you cannot find what you need, describe your situation in the box at the top of this page.
Can I edit the document after I download it?
Yes. The Word download opens and edits normally in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, and the PDF is there to print and sign.
What happens to the information I type in?
Your answers are kept with the document so you can come back to it and make another version. The document stays yours, and nobody at GO LAW reads it unless you ask for a review.
