Legal Document Drafter

Describe the matter. Get a document that reads like your firm wrote it.

Type the facts in plain English. The Drafter writes a complete document in about a minute, using your state's terms, your letterhead and your signature block. You edit it, export it and sign it. It works by hand, or on its own before a matter's deadline.

How it works

1

Describe the matter

Choose the document type, then give the facts the way you would brief a colleague: names, dates, amounts and what you want. Pick a tone (Professional, Authoritative, Formal, Persuasive or Concise) and a length (Short, Standard or Detailed).

2

Answer a quick question, if it needs one

If a missing fact would change which law, notice or form applies, the Drafter asks up to two multiple-choice questions before it writes. A complete request gets none. Sending your answers back is not a second AI action, and you can skip them.

3

It writes with your firm's details

You can watch each step: it reads your request and firm profile, checks the rules for your state, plans the document, then writes it onto your letterhead. A full document takes about a minute.

4

Review, edit, export

Copy it, download it as text or save it as a PDF. Every draft carries a reminder that an attorney must review it, and the firm's recent drafts stay in a list so nothing gets lost.

Watch it work

Every result in these demos is a shortened sample so it fits the screen, and each one says what the real length is. Watch the whole process: a small cursor chooses the document type, the matter is typed in, tone and length are adjusted, and the Drafter writes it. Pick another example or press Replay. The third is one of the six types included on Professional and Enterprise.

Two ways to use it

Every plan

By hand

You open the Drafter and describe the matter. This is the way to draft anything new or unusual, and it is how most documents are written.

  • Any of the document types your plan includes
  • Your choice of tone and length every time
  • Quick questions when a missing fact matters
  • The result appears on screen, ready to edit
Professional and Enterprise

On deadlines, without opening it

Matter Management saves a matter with a filing deadline. You choose the document type and the topic yourself, and how many days before the deadline the draft should be ready. The default is three.

  • On that day Ramtek writes the draft with the same Drafter and emails it to the attorney who set the matter up
  • It is never sent or filed, and you decide what gets drafted, so nothing is guessed
  • If that attorney has since left the firm, it goes to the firm's administrator

What it includes

Twelve kinds of document. The first six are on every plan and the second six are on Professional and Enterprise. For each one: what it is, what it covers, and how long it runs at each setting. Lengths are for the document itself, in words, and about 450 words fill a page.

Demand Letter

A formal demand for payment or action, with a response deadline that follows your state's pre-suit notice rules instead of a fixed number of days.

Covers: an opening that names the parties and the claim, the facts, the legal basis, itemised damages or relief demanded, the response deadline, and what happens if the other side does not comply.

Length: Short 450 to 700 words, Standard 1,200 to 2,000 (about 3 to 4 pages), Detailed 2,000 to 3,000.

NDA

A confidentiality agreement between two parties, with the scope, term and exclusions you specify.

Covers: the parties, what counts as confidential information, each side's obligations, permitted disclosures, how long it lasts, remedies for breach and a governing-law placeholder.

Length: Short 700 to 1,000 words, Standard 1,800 to 2,800 (about 4 to 6 pages), Detailed 2,800 to 4,000.

Length: Short 200 to 350 words, Standard 400 to 700 (about 1 to 2 pages), Detailed 800 to 1,200.

Legal Memo

An internal memorandum on a legal question.

Covers: a TO, FROM, DATE and RE header, the issue presented, a brief answer, the facts, the analysis (the applicable law and how it applies) and a conclusion, with authority left for you to fill in and verify.

Length: Short 700 to 1,100 words, Standard 1,400 to 2,300 (about 3 to 5 pages), Detailed 3,000 to 4,500.

Custody Agreement Professional

A parenting plan and time-sharing schedule in your state's own terms. In Florida that means a Parenting Plan with shared or sole parental responsibility and time-sharing, never custody and visitation.

An estate planning document, a will or a trust, as your description indicates.

Covers: who is making it, revocation of earlier documents, the executor or trustee, who inherits and how, guardians for minor children, the residuary clause, and signature, witness and notary blocks that follow your state's execution rules, with notes where the formalities must be verified. The formalities still have to be followed when it is signed.

Length: Short 1,200 to 2,000 words, Standard 2,000 to 3,500 (about 4 to 8 pages), Detailed 3,500 to 5,500.

Length: Short 150 to 300 words, Standard 300 to 600 (about 1 page), Detailed 600 to 1,000.

Set every time

  • Tone: Professional, Authoritative, Formal, Persuasive or Concise
  • Length: Short, Standard or Detailed. Each type of document has its own usual length, so Standard means the length that document normally runs, not a fixed page count

Built into the result

  • A letterhead preview before you start, so the page never looks empty
  • Your firm's name, address and the attorney's signature block
  • A live word count, copy, text download and PDF export
  • A list of the firm's recent drafts, shared across every user

How the quality is controlled

A draft is only useful if an attorney can trust where it came from and check it quickly. These are the controls built into the Drafter.

An attorney always decides

Each draft is labelled as a drafting aid that needs attorney review, and nothing is sent, filed or signed for you.

No invented authority

The Drafter never cites a case from memory. Where authority belongs it leaves a marked placeholder for you to fill in and verify. It cites a statute only when it is sure of the section, and flags it for checking.

Your state's own terms

It uses the vocabulary and formalities of the state that governs: parenting plans and time-sharing in Florida, pre-suit notice before a demand deadline, discovery within the numerical limits, will formalities.

It asks before it guesses

When a missing fact would change the law, notice or form that applies, it asks first. When a name, date or amount can simply be left in brackets, it does that instead of making one up.

Sized to the document

Length is set per document type so a demand letter does not run like a lease and an NDA is not padded to look thorough.

Checked against reference data

Filing deadlines and pre-suit steps for your state come from a reference file with official sources, which is re-checked on a schedule. See "Your state's law" below.

What the Drafter does not do

  • It does not file, send or sign anything
  • It does not give legal advice or replace an attorney's judgment
  • It does not search the web or look up cases. The AI Law Assistant does the research
  • It works only from the facts you enter and your state's reference data, so check every fact before you rely on a draft
Your firm

Set it up once. Every draft sounds like you.

A short setup tells the Drafter who you are. After that, every document uses your state, your letterhead and your signature instead of blanks.

Firm setup

On every plan: your state and any others you practice in, your practice areas, who you represent, the courts you file in, your letterhead, and each attorney's own signature block with bar admissions.

AI Configuration

On Professional and Enterprise, firm administrators add their own tone, preferred clause language, billing structure and other context. It applies to every tool for every attorney and shows what you already set in firm setup.

Tone and length, every time

Choose Professional, Authoritative, Formal, Persuasive or Concise, and Short, Standard or Detailed. Each document type has its own usual length, so Standard means what that document normally runs.

How firms use the Drafter

Personal injury

The pre-suit demand from the intake facts, with the response deadline set by your state's notice rules.

Family law

A parenting plan and time-sharing schedule in your state's own terms, not generic custody language.

Business and transactional

Engagement letters, retainers and NDAs that follow the same structure every time.

Estate planning

Wills and trusts drafted around your state's signing and witnessing rules.

Civil litigation

Motions and discovery requests kept within the rules' limits, with authority left for you to verify.

Any practice, on a deadline

Save the matter once and the draft is written for you a few days before it is due.

Your state's law

Written for your state, and re-checked on a schedule.

The Drafter does not write from general knowledge alone. Before it writes, it reads a reference file for the state you practice in.

Deadlines and pre-suit steps, all 50 states and DC

Filing deadlines for personal injury, medical malpractice, contract and property damage, and the notices some claims need first: medical malpractice, claims against government and construction defect. Each entry has its citation, an official source link and the date it was last checked.

Drafting and court-rule guidance, a growing list of states

How wills are signed and witnessed, family-law terminology, recording-consent rules, non-compete limits, fee agreements, notarization, deeds, settlements and releases, and each state's guidance on using AI in legal work. More states are added over time.

Kept up to date

The reference file is checked every month for new laws and court decisions, and every June and December all 51 jurisdictions are fully re-verified, ahead of the January 1 and July 1 dates when new laws usually take effect.

The reference file is researched from official sources and is an aid, not an attorney's review. Always confirm current law before you file. Where the Drafter is not sure, it says so. The Drafter does not search the web: for research with sources, the AI Law Assistant looks things up in case law and official sites.

Your clients' information

What happens to what you put in.

Client confidentiality is your duty, so the answers are written down in plain terms.

Not used to train AI

Our AI provider's terms prohibit using what we send to train its models. It may keep requests for up to 30 days for safety monitoring, then deletes them.

Kept apart by firm

Each firm's drafts, analyses and emails are visible only to that firm. Connections are encrypted, passwords are hashed, and two-step sign-in is available on every account.

Yours to remove

You can ask for deletion at any time. If you cancel, your data is kept for 30 days in case you come back, you are reminded before the deadline, and then it is deleted.

Questions

What firms ask before they start.

Will it make up case citations?

No. The Drafter never cites a case from memory. Where case authority belongs it leaves a clearly marked placeholder for you to fill in and verify, and it cites a statute only when it is sure of the section. For research that returns real cases with links, use the AI Law Assistant.

Does anything get sent or filed automatically?

No. The draft appears on screen or, for deadline drafting, in your own inbox. Nothing is sent to a client, another party or a court unless you send it.

How does it know my state's law?

Firm setup asks for your state, and the Drafter applies that state's law first and says when federal law or another state's law governs. It also reads a reference file of filing deadlines and pre-suit steps for every state and DC, plus drafting and court-rule guidance for a growing list of states. If no state is set, it asks which one.

Can it use my own letterhead and signature?

Yes. Firm setup stores your firm name, address and courts, and each attorney adds their own signature block and bar admissions. Drafts use them instead of blanks, and the Drafter shows a letterhead preview before you start.

How long does a draft take?

About a minute. In our own tests a full document took between roughly 30 and 50 seconds.

Do the quick questions cost extra?

No. The Drafter asking its questions counts as the one AI action, and sending your answers back is not a second one. You can also skip the questions and let it make reasonable assumptions.

Which document types are on the Core plan?

Demand Letter, NDA, Retainer Agreement, Client Letter, Settlement Letter and Legal Memo. Custody Agreement, Will / Trust, Bankruptcy Petition, Discovery Request, Motion and Checklist are included on Professional and Enterprise.

How does drafting before a deadline work?

In Matter Management you save a matter with a filing deadline and choose the document type and topic yourself. You also choose how many days before the deadline the draft should be ready (the default is three). On that day the Drafter writes it and emails it to the attorney who set the matter up. It is never sent or filed. It is available on Professional and Enterprise.

Is my firm's data used to train AI models?

No. Our AI provider's terms prohibit using what we send through its API to train models. The provider may keep it for up to 30 days for trust-and-safety monitoring and then deletes it. See Trust and security for the full picture.

Can several attorneys use it at once?

Yes, as many as your plan includes. Recent drafts, analyses and emails are shared across the firm, and each attorney has their own signature block and their own forwarding address.

What do I get in the free trial?

Seven days with no card. A trial includes Professional-level access and a shared pool of 100 AI actions across all tools, which is enough to run real matters through any of them.

What if a draft is wrong?

Treat it as you would a first draft from a junior colleague: read it, correct it and own it. Every draft is labelled for attorney review because AI can be wrong. The checks on this page reduce errors but do not remove your duty to check.
