Customer Reviews of Instant Legal Advisor (4 CD-ROM)

Definitely not worth the little money
This is the second review I have written for this product. The first one mysteriously disappeared. I'm taking a screen shot of this page for future reference, though.
I purchased this as an adjunct for my law practice. What a waste.
What the reviews don't tell you is that all FOUR CDs contain a total of about 70 MB of substantive material (there are demos that increase the size on some disks). The "Forms" CD has less than 5 MB. You don't get nearly as much as you think you are getting.

Also, the copyrights on several of these programs are from 1996!
The programs themselves are poorly laid out and contain only cursory information on many topics. If you are looking to avoid hiring a lawyer by purchasing this package, forget it. You may get a general idea of the things required for legal transactions, but I wouldn't bet the farm on these forms.
Bottom line is that you get what you pay for - even if you only pay [$$$]. Look for something else.

Bought this as a way to save time in my law firm. Definitely not worth the money.
At first it seems appealing that you get FOUR CDs of material. What they don't tell you is that one of the CDs has only 5 MB of information and another has even less substantive information with a bunch of "demo" programs to increase the amount of material on the disk. None of the disks had more than 100 MB on them. In other words, the programs could have all been put on one CD with room to spare.
Also, some of the programs were copyrighted in 1995 - seven years ago - even though the set itself is copyrighted in 2001. Looks like they didn't do much with the programs in six years.
The material itself is light on substance. There is little from a legal standpoint that I found useful. Anyone using these templates would have to add a substantial amount of material to make them useable. The forms I reviewed aren't the "out of the box" quality one could use to solve a problem.
My recommendation is that you avoid this set. For $19.95, you get what you pay for . . .
