[InitialLastName]

Even when I've ended up needing a lawyer (albeit for private legal transactions like estate planning) going through the process of finding a template, customizing it to what I wanted, and thinking through as much as I could was invaluable. The subject matter can be complex and lawyers are expensive, paid by time, and (in my experience) have a habit of bulldozing through explanations to clients; the more prep you've done ahead of time the more value you can get out of your lawyer time (e.g. by knowing what questions to ask and having a clear picture of the issues at hand).
