ProDoc Introduces New Service for Helping California Attorneys Generate Legal Documents; Highly Regarded Texas ``Document Assembly'' Software Provider Builds New Product for California Small Law Firms.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Texas -- ProDoc, Inc., the industry-leading provider of document assembly software for small law firms, has introduced its ProDoc service for attorneys in California.

For more than 15 years, ProDoc has been helping small law firms in Texas and Florida improve their profitability and client service by saving them substantial time in generating legal documents. The company started building an all-new product for the California marketplace in 2004 and has been testing it with various law firms statewide for the past year.

"Independent research has found that generating various legal documents, ranging from routine divorce petitions and real estate purchase agreements to complex estate planning documents and probate forms, consumes 43 percent of an attorney's time and 60 percent of their staff's time," said Alan Schoolcraft, founder and president of ProDoc, Inc. "Since the vast majority of ProDoc users report that our document assembly software saves at least 50 percent of the time they formerly spent on document generation, this means that the decision to automate document assembly is the most effective way for attorneys to dramatically boost the efficiency of their practice."

Document assembly software automates the creation of finished legal documents. Some attorneys do this with their own word processing programs, some use simple "form filler" software or Judicial Council forms, and others use software products with limited capabilities.

According to Schoolcraft, ProDoc uses a patented "expert system logic" with a series of questions and answers to automatically and intelligently draft sophisticated legal documents. The system walks users through an intuitive five-step process:

--Select the client and case for which the document needs to be created

--Select the area of law involved

--Select the forms that need to be assembled

--Answer a series of questions that ProDoc uses to assemble forms with the specific clauses and paragraphs needed for the case

--Fill in the blanks with the case-specific information

After this simple process is completed, ProDoc then generates the documents and opens them for editing in either Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, depending on the user's preference, for final editing.

According to Schoolcraft, ProDoc users report three primary benefits from the service: (1) Saves time on creating documents; (2) Reduces errors and malpractice exposure; and (3) Facilitates better client service.

"We have so much confidence in ProDoc that we offer it to small law firms with a unique business model for the legal industry by assuming all of the risk in the sale and support of the product," explained Schoolcraft. "We only make ProDoc available through a no-obligation, month-to-month subscription service. Customers don't pay anything up-front for the service and are not asked to sign a long-term contract; they are simply billed for the service once a month and are free to cancel at any time if they are not satisfied for any reason."

According to Schoolcraft, the monthly subscription fee for ProDoc ranges from $75 to $95 per month, depending on which areas of law are purchased. That fee includes automatic updates any time there are changes in the law that affect the document templates, and also includes initial user training and ongoing technical support. New ProDoc customers automatically receive licenses for three users at no additional charge.

California attorneys may try ProDoc free for one month (new customers only) in order to determine whether the product is a good fit for their practice. Anyone interested in a free trial CD is invited to call 800-759-5418 or go to www.prodoc.com/freecd.
