I’ve used the Nolo Landlord materials 18 years

I’ve used the Nolo Landlord materials and forms over the last 18 years. For three units. Plus I recommended Nolo Tenant materials. Haven’t been led astray.

The on line materials are terrific, the leases are solid.

I’ll continue recommending Nolo to landlords and tenants alike.

Living Trust Review

I think that Nolo offers a great service helping cut legal costs in this age of high attorney fees. I am a little bit lost however in following the procedures.
With the help of the local library I was able to download and print copies. The copies showing what names to put on each blank. How do I pull up printable copies that I can type the names on. Do you charge extra for them and if so how much?

Fast Delivery

Fast Delivery, and Nolo books are always incredibly well written. Easy for the layman. Very reasonably priced, especially compared to regular law books (West, Lexis, Rutter, etc.)

Nolo prepared a Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement for my new consultancy - although I am a lawyer by training and could have prepared these myself, it was more timely and cost effective to have Nolo do so. They were 100% accurate and I did not need to change a single word in either document - I highly recommend Nolo and found their work entirely consistent with their brand promise.

Nolo: A Great Gift for the Senior Lawyer

Your Materials are very helpful to me in my law practice; I have been a California Lawyer for 62 years. They are also helpful to me in my teaching, as the Senior Adjunct Professor of Law, at Southwestern School of Law , for 54 years. Nolo materials are clear and accurate.

Another great Nolo product

Needed software to make a quitclaim deed. Nolo product was very easy to use, complete and accurate. I was able to make revisions easily when necessary. Reasonable price, will use Nolo again. Already using their Willmaker & Trust program.
