I guess I just object to paying Wilson $5k to run search-and-replace for me. And I certainly wouldn't trust LegalZoom to actually have documents written by people who understand startups.

And the other sources don't seem to provide offer letters, NDA/invention rights docs, board motions, option grants and all the other boiler plate stuff that's needed.

That all said, I suppose making it too turn-key risks entrepreneurs not really understanding the legal issues involved and getting nasty surprises later on.

I'm pretty sure Wilson's $5K includes all those other docs you list. At least that was my understanding when I spoke to Yokum a while ago.

I did request that Wilson make a full list of what you get as part of an incorporation "package" and post the list and plain vanilla price publicly on their site. The non-transparency of legal fees is only matched by the non-transparency of health care prices.
