Legal Babu is not a law firm

Legalbabu.com is an online legal portal that provides visitors with a general understanding of the law, as well as business consulting services, tax services, compliance services, and an automated software solution for individuals who prefer to prepare their own legal documents. Legal Babu software does not need to be downloaded or licensed by customers. When customers create their own documents, Legal Babu hosts its software as a back-end service. The website provides general information on frequently encountered legal issues. Legal Babu Services also include a review of your answers for completeness, spelling, and internal consistency of names, addresses, and other information.

We do not assess the legal sufficiency of your answers, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions, or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, strategy, form selection, or apply the law to your situation. Legal Babu does not give legal advice or represent clients in court.

More simply put:

Legal Babu is not a law firm, nor are its services, nor are its forms, or templates a substitute for a lawyer or law firm, and it may not perform services normally performed by a lawyer.

Content error

Legal Babu makes every effort to ensure that its legal documents are accurate, current, and up-to-date. However, because the law is constantly changing, Legal Babu cannot guarantee that the information on the Site or applications is always up to date. Because the law differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, different courts may interpret it differently. The law is a personal matter, and no general information or legal tool, such as the ones provided by Legal Babu, can be applied to every situation. Furthermore, the legal information on the Site and applications is not legal advice and cannot be guaranteed to be correct, complete, or up-to-date. As a result, if you require legal advice for a specific legal issue, or if your specific issue is too complex for us to handle, you should consult a reputable Lawyer.
