Is doc XXXX suitable for me?
We really cannot advise you without detailed instructions. However, first, our document introduction pages will help you decide which document to buy. Second, almost all our document templates come with drafting notes to help you make the right decisions on what to add, select or delete. After you have bought, you can always contact us by phone if you need further help – absolutely free!
Can I use a standard Net Lawman document and modify/customise it myself? Can I delete sections which are not applicable?
You certainly can. One of the leading features of Net Lawman documents is that you can edit, save and re-use. Most documents include drafting notes which explain which parts of the document you can change and which parts we advise should stay un-altered.
Any words, sentences or clauses that are optional are highlighted in blue. Simply choose the most suitable for your circumstances and delete the rest.
If you would like us to check your changes, you can use our drafting service. We will look over the changes you have made, possibly suggest improved wording, and draft any new provisions you require. The service is versatile and flexible. We take instructions quickly by email.
Can you suggest the most suitable document for me?
We require more detailed information to tell you precisely which document might suit you best. However, the introduction pages and descriptions of the documents have been designed to help you choose the most suitable document for your circumstances.
How does the bespoke service work?
Simply email us with details of your situation and the sort of document you require. We will give you a price for:
taking your instructions by message or documents;
drawing first draft document;
discussing with you by email or telephone;
preparing second, amended draft;
further discussion;
third draft if required.
To instruct us, just make your payment at http://www.netlawman.co.uk/pay-legal-work.php and email us with as much info as you can as to how you do business.
Help–I have a work related problem. What steps should I take? Do I have a claim regards my employment?
We would need further information to be able to tell you accurately. However, a good place to start with employment problems is your contract of employment. Read it through and consider whether your employer is failing to comply with it.
There are special rules in many areas of employment. Unfortunately we cannot help you without spending time on your case. The fast, low cost way to do this is through our Expert Legal Advice service, where you can pre-pay as little as £20 for an advice. If you need more help, one of our employment specialists will take your case.
Will you help me to complete a document I have already bought?
Of course we should be happy to do so. Please send us more information about the sort of changes you require. We will give you a cost estimate for our work. We charge only £80 an hour and you can buy as little as a half hour’s work.
I am looking for a piece of legislation – which one? Where can I find it?
Please use our search facility - we have many Acts of Parliament and statutory instruments to browse.

You are absolutely certain that they owe you the money - every penny of it and the debt is crystalised. That means you do not need to ask a judge to say how much of your money claim is due to you.
Your debtor has the money.
You calculate that your debtor will pay rather than risk your issuing a petition. This depends of course on his perception of you as well as where he could find the money as a last resort.
You are prepared to follow up by issuing a petition. You hope that might never be necessary. But, as in any litigation, hesitation comes through in your tactics. You lose the impact completely if you are seen to be bluffing.
Are my employment ‘terms and conditions’ fair?

Do Net Lawman documents comply with the latest legislation?
We try to keep up with all legislation by constantly reviewing our documents. However, occasionally something “slips through the net”, just as it might with a solicitor. But in five years of trading we have yet to hear of any problem arising from that.
Employment problem regarding maternity
Maternity is a special part of employment law which has many of its own rules. Every claim is different. We have free information regarding maternity, paternity and adoption rights.

I need Terms and Conditions and a privacy policy document
Many, but not all, of our document templates can be ‘previewed’ before you buy. Click on the ‘Preview’ button next the document you want to see on the relevant introduction page. You can view most of the document although for obvious reasons, we mark the pages so you cannot see everything.
Alternatively, each document introduction page has a list of the specific provisions the document contains so you can check that the document includes everything you require.

Do I need to register first to buy any document?
No, as you go through the motion of buying the document, you are asked to register as a process within the buying procedure. You do not have to register first.
Can I see / preview the document before I buy?
Many of our most popular documents can be viewed before purchase. However, not all documents are available for viewing for obvious reasons. Our introductory pages explain in detail what is provided in the document. You can contact our team at any time if you need to know more about a document.
If I buy a document, how will I get it?
We deliver documents and forms in two ways:
First, we send to you automatically, by email. Second, you can download from our website. This is usually necessary only some time after you have bought and deleted the original, or if you have accidentally changed the original and saved the changed version. Or if your mail server was down while our system tried to send the document to you.
Although we are not infallible, delivery problems are most often caused by an error in typing in your email address when you buy, (so that our system sends your document to an incorrect email address); or problems arising from your computer settings, which prevent your computer from receiving our document. If you have a problem we will always help you resolve it if we can.
To download, enter your email address and password at the top left of our home page and we will take you to your purchase history, from where you can download.
If I buy a document, how soon will I get it?
If you have entered the correct email address and your mail server is fast enough you should receive it almost instantly or within 10 minutes. However if you have a slow mail server (say hotmail) it may take hours. If you your mail server has a problem right at that moment, or your mail server has put a firewall in, or if you have entered the wrong email address, you may not receive it via email at all.
At any event you can download it directly from the Net Lawman site by simply logging to the site. You will be able to download it almost instantly (with a maximum delay of 10 minutes) after you have paid for it.
If you have any login problems please contact techsupport@netlawman.co.uk. We will get back to you in 24 hours.

How do I know that the document I buy suits what I need?
Our introductory pages tell you about the document. You can also contact us at any time to ask whether the particular document is suitable for you.
Please explain why some documents are drawn by Net Lawman and some by other solicitors
First, so that we are able to stock the largest number of documents available on the Internet. A few documents must be drawn by lawyers with specialist knowledge. Our in-house team has much experience in a wide variety of specialism’s including intellectual property, land law and company law to name a few. However, there are some areas where we require specialists. By using other solicitors you can be sure that the document you receive has been drawn by someone who knows the law in that area inside out.
Second, legal documents take a long time to draw. The law changes frequently too. To stay up to date with those changes we must revise our documents from time to time. Our in house team simply doesn’t have enough hours in the day to do all of this and draw new documents.
If I buy a document drawn by some other solicitor, how shall I contact him/her?
We send you their details automatically after payment has been made. You can contact them at any time. You can also see their profile online from our website.
I am not happy for you to pass my email and land addresses to a solicitor. Help!
Whilst you receive the solicitor’s details automatically, they only receive your contact details if you give your permission during checkout. If you do not give your permission we shall never pass on your details.
Are the documents watertight? Do they stand up in a court of law?
Yes and yes, although the law does change – a document you buy today may be out of date next week.
Are the documents drawn by professional lawyers?
Yes. We draw most documents in-house. Here is some information about us. We also have documents drawn by others – all of whom are professionals in their field.
How do we communicate? I’d like to talk to someone on the phone
We use e-mail to communicate as it ensures everything is written down. E-mail also avoids miscommunication and allows us to work on your case efficiently, thereby reducing your time (and cost).
A ‘link’ isn’t working – please change it.
Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We will correct it as soon as possible. Please tell us on which page you found this link.
There is a spelling error on a document / website
Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We will do our best to have it corrected as soon as possible. Please could you tell us where it is?
I would like to link with you.
We are always interested in links to other sites who may help us to sell more documents. Please contact us.
I want to become a partner / affiliate. How can I register?
Please see our partner program and at the end you will see the ‘Join’ link.
My wife/husband has instructed a solicitor. Should I do the same?
Every case is different. We are unable to say whether instructing a solicitor is the right thing for you. It depends on your personal circumstances and also your finances. If you divorce is undefended (that is, if you both agree), it is unlikely you need a solicitor to represent you. You can manage your own divorce very easily these days, especially as there are so many outlets for legal information. We provide all the forms required for an undefended divorce at Net Lawman.
What will my divorce cost?
That depends how you go about it. If your divorce is defended, it is likely to be more complicated that if it were undefended. For undefended divorces, you set the budget. You can choose to instruct a solicitor, or you can manage the process yourself, with little or no help to minimise cost. We supply all the forms you require at Net Lawman. We supply the forms with completed examples and explanatory notes for use. If you want neither a DIY Divorce, nor to instruct a solicitor and receive a hefty bill, consider using our forms and paying for legal support as and when you require. We offer complete flexibility.
What will it cost to sort our financial arrangements?
Again, this depends on your situation. If you can negotiate a deal amicably, the cost is very little. You can access an ancillary relief pack (financial separation pack) here for only £30. This may be all you need. You may require however, additional documents which can be purchased in the complementary pack here. Alternatively, you may need to go to court if you cannot agree with your soon-to-be-ex. This will cost considerably more.
What will it cost to sort our financial arrangements?
Again, this depends on your situation. If you can negotiate a deal amicably, the cost is very little. You can access an ancillary relief pack (financial separation pack) here for only £45. This may be all you need. You may require however, additional documents which can be purchased in the complementary pack here. Alternatively, you may need to go to court if you cannot agree with your soon-to-be-ex. This will cost considerably more.
Can I do it all over the Internet?
Whilst you have to file the documents in a court (by post for example), you can buy all the required documents online if your divorce is undefended. At Net Lawman, we provide the blank forms, completed examples, guidance notes and template letters so you can DIY your divorce with ease. See our divorce documents now Link to divorce docs
