The Hidden Cost of Law Firm-Backed Closing Document Software
When choosing a commercial loan closing document solution, the allure of a low upfront cost can be tempting. But what if that “software” is just a lead-generation tool for a law firm?
That’s exactly what many so-called document automation solutions really are, a feeder system for legal practices that benefit when you require expensive legal review. They claim to offer automation, but in reality, they are a side hustle, designed not to free you from legal dependence, but to ensure you keep coming back for more billable hours.
This is a classic marketing tactic; offer a freemium or low-cost service, only to upsell the features and services that are truly necessary. These law firms are not providing technology innovation; they are running a cleverly disguised marketing campaign designed to pull you into their ecosystem and keep you dependent on costly legal services.
Why Trust a Product That Doesn’t Put You First?
Let’s be clear: If your document generation software was built by a law firm, it wasn’t built for you. It was built for them. These firms don’t invest in innovation because their core business isn’t technology; it’s legal services. Their software exists to funnel you into their firm, creating a revenue stream that extends far beyond the initial software fee.
The Real Cost of Cheap Software
Law firm-backed solutions may look cost-effective on the surface, but they come with an expensive catch: the hidden requirement for legal review. Every time your documents need an update, a tweak, or a state-specific adjustment, you’re directed back to the law firm—paying premium rates for something that should have been automated in the first place.
GoDocs eliminates that unnecessary cost. Our automation ensures you get the right documents, fully compliant, with zero dependency on outside legal services, unless you truly need it. And when you do, GoDocs provides access to a trusted network of legal professionals through GoDocs LegalNet, so you get expert guidance without being locked into an expensive, law-firm-driven model.
