Justice, defined as the fair administration
of law and authority, is out of reach
What’s the Problem?
Around the world, while wealthy people and organizations can
hire expensive lawyers and the poor often qualify for aid, over a
billion middle class family members and small businesses can’t
afford the legal help they need
3. 3
Most people avoid
getting the legal
help they need.

Customer Happiness
As private landlords, we use Rocket
Lawyer to create simple, fast and easily
understandable property documents that
can be signed online and emailed to our
tenants. Using Rocket Lawyer we can
create documents with the knowledge
that if help is needed from a lawyer we
can easily access it.
“
“
Our contracts are also all unique, so we can
easily customize them using Rocket Lawyer.
There is also strategic value we didn't see
right away, like being able to reach out to
lawyers in our area at no extra cost. We've
asked three questions now on the q&a
service and got real responses right away,
which was amazing.
