We The People
is a national franchise of legal document preparation centers, each independently owned and operated, and, all dedicated to providing high quality, low cost legal documents to the increasing numbers of people who choose to represent themselves in uncontested legal matters. As the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics observes, “the Legal Forms Business is the largest growth industry in the nation, second only to home health care…” The rapid growth in popularity of the self help legal movement represents a major change in how people can now gain access to our legal system. In California alone, more than 75% of divorces are now done without attorney representation.

Americans Are Seeking Alternatives to Legal Document Preparation
We The People addresses the needs of people throughout the country who have decided to save hundreds, even thousands of dollars by using legal document preparation services for their simple, uncontested legal matters. Although the legal industry is a $100 billion business, the majority of an average attorney’s business is in the preparation of simple, legal documents that are often prepared by non-attorney employees.


A Phenomenal Growth Industry
We The People franchises provide legal document preparation services for simple legal actions like uncontested divorces, incorporations, living trusts, wills, leases, and name changes, along with many, many other routine matters. Commenting on the growing trend toward paralegal or self-help legal document preparation services, the American Bar Association Journal pointed out: “…overwhelmingly, lawyers say reasons people go to a paralegal involve money and convenience…” March 1991, according to the ABA Journal it was estimated that “consumers could save more than $1.3 billion annually by using document preparation services for just routine tasks — uncomplicated divorces, wills and business incorporations. As more and more people across the country decide to forego the expense of attorneys’ fees, it’s no wonder that high quality, low cost document preparation services like those offered through We The People legal document services have expanded across the country.”


An Opportunity In The $100 Billion Legal Industry
We The People has experienced an explosive growth in business since it’s inception in 1985. Now, We The People offers you an opportunity to join it’s expanding network of independently owned and operated franchise stores. The We The People franchise opportunity is for entrepreneurs to work within their communities, offering customers an affordable, convenient and efficient alternative to the high cost of attorneys’ services. Imagine the satisfaction of knowing that your business offers customers tremendous savings while providing you with an opportunity to share in the $100 billion revenues of the legal industry!

Your We The People franchise will entitle you to the use of information exclusively authored and copyrighted for the purpose of delivering basic legal document services from your Store.

We The People franchisees enjoy the benefits of an accumulation of industry knowledge gained through the invaluable, hands-on experience of the Franchisor and other Franchisees who are currently successfully operating We The People legal document service centers.
