We must have signed up for a free trial a year ago, as we needed one document. A year later of course we didn't remember that if we didn't stop it we would automatically be charged for a renewal subscription. Turns out that sneaky automatic renewal is non-refundable. There was no correspondence leading up to the renewal period - I just saw the charge on my credit card bill.What a scam. Buyer beware - this is not a company you want to do business with. I wish we had read reviews a year ago.LawDepot TM Response

Scammers and bloodsuckers... Can't run a reputable company and bill by the month.They sneak in a free trail and then bill by the month until you realize they offer nothing.LawDepot TM Response

It does seem like an ongoing issue with this company. Like many others I signed up for a free trial and downloaded on document. I could have paid a lawyer less to just do a power of attorney for me considering the months that I"ve been charged. No correspondence from the company but this:LawDepot.caNow that you have unlimited access to customize, save, print or download hundreds of legal documents, here's how you can make the most of your full membership:Download your document in either HTML or PDF format Print several copies.Edit the exact wording of your document for further customization.Start estate planning. Create a Last Will and ********** ***** of ******** or Living Will in minutes -- essential documents every individual needs.Questions? Contact us at ########## Mon-Fri 8am - 7pm ET, or visit our Support Page.I have received no reciepts and there was no forthcoming announcement that I was now paying a monthly prescription. **************** wouldn't budge with my request to cancel but a few of the months that I paid. Definitely feels like I've been scammed or at least mislead to take advantage like other online subscriptions that make their money off of misleading customers and sneakily continue to charge them knowing full well that largely these "contracts" get missed by the consumer. It's kind of disgusting.LawDepot TM Response

I needed to replace the living trust for my home. Since I could not edit the existing 1 page deed that was on file with the County, I had one prepared on legalzoom. During the course of setting it up, I was offered an estate planning kit that included the various forms as well as 10 years of storage. I was not happy with what they prepared and was 12 pages long. I paid $25 to have it notorized on LawDepot, but I ended up not using it. (because of the length, the cost would be more than double of the one I prepared) I typed the first one and changed the appropriate beneficiaries and filed it with the county. I have copies and proof that I did not use a LawDepot document. It has been less than 2 weeks since that transaction so I called and requested a refund. They refused. The first person was really nice, but then I spoke with 'the escallation team" and she was pretty hard and rude. She said that is their policy and they won't budge. She said I should have read the terms before I paid. Expensive ******* guess from now on I will need to read the multipage tiny font terms. It is interesting to me that the BBB gives them an A, but reviews give them a 1.88 our of 5.LawDepot TM Response

Hi *****,Thank you for your review and I have investigated your account and the recent charge from LawDepot.Our trial offer is free for a one-week period. During that time, you can create, download and print as many documents as you need for free. You can cancel the trial at any time within the 7 days and there is no obligation.Per our record, you started the trial on Feb 15, 2024, and it renewed to a monthly subscription as we didn't receive your cancellation within 7 days. I can also confirm we communicated with you through emails about the trial information and the membership details when you started the trial and monthly subscription. Your subscription had been cancelled and you will not be charged again in the future for this subscription. Hope this clarifies.Regards,Cally Customer SupportReview from Felipe V

I'm surprised to see the low ratings for this business. As a microbusiness co-owner, I appreciate the convenience of generating agreements with ease and sending to my clients for electronic signing. It makes us look professional. I find the annual fee quite reasonable for what we get in return, even when we only do a handful of contracts per year.LawDepot TM Response

Unfortunately, I invested time in creating documents after signing up for free trial with my CC info provided. I was unable to edit, download or print the documents. Total waste of time.It says it is rated an A+ by the BBB. This is a lie. It isn't even listed on the BBB list.LawDepot TM Response

I signed up for a one week free trial and cancelled on the 8/7/33 by entering discontinue on the list of boxes that appear. Like everyone else with a complaint, they continued billing me. I was unaware of this for two months. They were useless on the phone. They wouldnt honor my refund request because I didnt respond to the email they sent me that I never received nor realized I should be looking for. Im pretty sure they reactivate your credit card after the cancellation. Ive cancelled the card but still wasted almost $100. They could see the account hadnt been used but didnt care. There are other companies with the same service. Id avoid this one like the plague.LawDepot TM Response
