How First Lawyer Review stacks up

Most couples don't realize how much a lawyer-included prenup actually costs, or that "cheaper" online lawyer add-ons can come with fees that aren't always clear upfront.

Why is Lawyer Review less expensive than hiring two lawyers traditionally?

The savings come from how our process is built, not from cutting what you get. Same independent attorneys. Same custom drafting. Same enforceability standard. Just done more efficiently with First.

Vetted attorneys trained on First

Our attorneys know our platform, our drafting foundation, and our process. They don't spend billable hours figuring out tools or building agreement sections that may not be relevant to you.

Reserved availability

Traditional firms have to be found, they run a conflict check, evaluate timeline, and decide whether to take you on, all of which takes time that busy couples often don’t have. Our attorneys have reserved space for First clients and are ready to start working today.

Platform handles the workflow

First’s questionnaire captures your situation directly into the drafting system. No manual intake, no Excel spreadsheets being copied into Word templates, no document-version chasing over email. Your attorneys spend their time on your prenup, not on coordination overhead.

Flat fee, aligned incentives

Traditional hourly billing has the potential to create misalignment between you and your lawyers. Our attorneys are incentivized to focus on what matters for your specific situation, not running up the clock. Not making things more contentious.

The same outcome, structured to be faster and more transparent. We pass the efficiency savings on to you.

Two attorneys, one platform, days not months

Most online services run an online process and then hand you off to a lawyer who works offline. Most traditional firms put the entire process offline so you're constantly waiting for something.

First combines both parts together: our platform handles the workflow, your attorneys handle the law with a focus on your best interests, and you see exactly where things stand at every step of the way.

1

Complete the guided questionnaire

Create your account, add your partner's email, and you're ready to begin. Share information about your assets and liabilities in our secure platform. Save and resume anytime.

2

Pick your attorneys, start today

Each partner selects an attorney from our network of vetted family law attorneys. They're trained on our platform, have reserved availability for First clients, and are ready to start working with you today.

3

Review with your attorney

Work through every provision with your partner and your attorneys. They advise you, edit the underlying language with you, and explain how it works in your state.

4

Sign and notarize online

When both partners and both attorneys are aligned, you sign and notarize on the platform.

Built to hold up

A prenup only matters if it's enforceable: meaning a court will uphold it if it's ever challenged. Lawyer Review is built around the structural choices that give your agreement the best chance of doing exactly that.

Step 1 Icon

Independent counsel for each partner

Courts apply more scrutiny to prenups where only one partner had an attorney, or where both partners shared one. Each partner having their own independent attorney is the cleanest, strongest path to a fully enforceable agreement.
Step 1 Icon

Financial disclosure, captured properly

Financial disclosure is one of the most common reasons prenups get challenged in court. Our platform structures the disclosure step so nothing is missed and there's a clear record of what each partner shared.
Step 1 Icon

Drafted to your state

Lawyer Review agreements are customized to your state's rules from the foundation up, with your state's lawyer reviewing and confirming your choices rather than relying on general language.

Common misconception: "a prenup done online won't hold up." Where you complete the agreement (online vs. in a lawyer's office) does not determine enforceability. The structure of the agreement, the attorneys involved, the disclosure, and the state-specific drafting do. Lawyer Review handles all four.

Is Lawyer Review the right fit?

Lawyer Review is right for you if…

  • Either of you owns a business, has significant pre-marital wealth, or has complex equity (RSUs, options, carried interest)
  • Either of you has been married before, has children from a prior relationship, or has complex inheritance considerations
  • You want each partner to have their own attorney walking through every provision
  • You're in California or Florida and want to address spousal support
  • You need immigration provisions (Form I-864 affidavit waiver)
  • You want a flat fee with lawyer involvement, not hourly billing
Start Lawyer Review
Arrow right

Self-Serve may be enough if…

  • You and your partner agree on the basics
  • Your finances are reasonably straightforward (W-2 income, savings, maybe a home, retirement accounts)
  • Neither of you owns a business
  • You're comfortable making decisions together without an attorneys present
  • $649 fits your budget better than $3,500

When to consider Bespoke

Lawyer Review handles the vast majority of complex cases. A small number of situations call for Bespoke: fully custom drafting for the most complex situations, dedicated senior counsel, and tailored process for the most sensitive or complicated agreements.

Explore Bespoke
Consider Bespoke if:
  • You have substantial pre-marital wealth or complex trust structures
  • You have an operating business with multiple stakeholders or significant equity at stake
  • You need cross-jurisdictional structuring (multi-state or international)
  • You want to incorporate a vesting schedule or specific allocations over time
  • Your situation involves litigation history, estate planning interlock, or other specialized counsel coordination

On a tight timeline?
Lawyer Review is built for it.

Rush service is available exclusively with Lawyer Review. With a wedding date approaching, you need an agreement that's both fast and built to hold up. Independent counsel for both partners is the strongest protection against later challenge, and most traditional firms can't move at the pace you need.

  1. Move in days, not weeks
    Prioritized scheduling with attorneys, accelerated review cycles, and availability to start today
  2. Built for enforceability
    Independent counsel for both partners strengthens enforceability, and is one of the key factors courts look at when reviewing a prenup
  3. Transparent fee
    Rush service is available for an additional $750

Real couples. Real outcomes.

First saved us a ton of money over working with lawyers in our local area and the workflows make the process very clear and easy to navigate. The lawyers were clear in their feedback and very timely in their responses. First made things as uncontentious as possible when discussing difficult topics.

First was a fantastic experience. I was very nervous about the prenuptial process-spending the time to find a lawyer, high fees, schedule meetings, and go through the process felt extremely daunting. First made this process smooth and took the stress out of it.

My experience with First was great. The questions were thorough and led to good conversation with my fiancé. Once we talked things through, it was helpful to get additional information from each of the lawyers that we chose to work with in developing our agreement.

We were so grateful to have found First. [The process facilitated] meaningful discussions about our marriage, just in time for the wedding itself. The process was easy (as easy as legalese can be!), quick, and affordable.

Lawyer Review questions, answered

Is the $3,500 really all I'll pay?

Yes. $3,500 is a flat fee covering two independent attorneys, drafting, revisions, online notarization, and full use of the First platform. There are no retainers and no hourly bills. Rush service, if needed, is $750. The only situations that fall outside Lawyer Review are the rare ones that require Bespoke, and we'll tell you upfront if that applies.

Why do we need two attorneys?

A prenup is most enforceable when each partner has independent counsel. If only one of you has an attorney, or if both of you share one, courts can apply more scrutiny to the agreement. With Lawyer Review, each partner has their own attorney representing only their interests. That's the structural foundation enforceability rests on.

Will my prenup actually hold up in court?

A prenup's enforceability generally depends on several key factors, including: independent counsel for each partner, full and proper financial disclosure, customization to your state's rules, and that both partners signed voluntarily. Lawyer Review is built around all of these. The fact that the agreement was completed online does not affect enforceability. The structure of the agreement does.

Why is First Lawyer Review less expensive than hiring two lawyers traditionally?

Efficiency, not corner-cutting. Our attorneys are vetted and trained on our platform, so they don't spend billable hours doing things manually. The platform handles the workflow, so they don't manage spreadsheets or chase document versions. They have reserved availability for First clients, so you can start working today instead of waiting for someone to call you back. And they're incentivized to focus on what matters for your situation, not to extend hours. The savings come from how the process is built, not from what you get.

How is this different from other online services that include a lawyer?

First, you and your partner each pick your own attorney from our network, so each of you has counsel chosen by you. Second, attorney consultations and revisions are included in the price. Third, the prenup process (questionnaire, attorney communication, drafting, review, and signature) runs through our platform alongside email and phone, so both partners always know where things stand and what's next.

How is this different from hiring two lawyers traditionally?

Cost, speed, and clarity. Traditional firms typically charge $5,000 to $15,000+ per partner, so a fully-lawyered prenup easily runs $10,000 to $30,000 total. The traditional process can also take weeks or months: calling firms, scheduling intro calls, negotiating the agreements, then weeks of back-and-forth via email and Word documents. Lawyer Review packages the same outcome (two independent attorneys, full review, custom agreement) for $3,500, in days to a few weeks.

Do I really pick my own attorney?

Yes. You browse our network and choose. So does your partner, independently. The attorneys in the network are all licensed attorneys seasoned in family law, and have been approved and trained on the platform by our team.

What states is Lawyer Review available in?

Lawyer Review is available in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Texas and Washington. You will have attorneys that are licensed and practicing in your state.

Can my partner and I be in different places?

Yes. The platform, attorney communication, document review, and online notarization all work remotely.

How long does it take?

Most Lawyer Review couples complete the process in days to a few weeks, depending on complexity and how quickly both partners and both attorneys can review. Rush service is available for tight wedding deadlines.

What if my situation is complex: business ownership, trusts, prior marriage?

Lawyer Review is built for these situations. Your attorneys handle business ownership, complex equity, trust structures, prior marriages, blended families, and complex inheritance. The questionnaire covers the vast majority of cases. Anything that exceeds the basic scope of Lawyer Review, we'll route to Bespoke and tell you before you've paid.

What's NOT included?

Lawyer Review does not include separate counsel for ongoing legal matters outside the prenup — including estate planning, business legal work, etc. Lawyer Review only includes work on the prenup.

What if the attorneys disagree on a provision?

That's the point of having two of them. They advocate for their respective clients. When there's a difference, your attorneys raise it with you, explain the trade-offs, and help you and your partner decide together. Sometimes that means revising a clause; sometimes it means walking through why one approach is better than another. The goal is an agreement both of you understand and both of you support. Ultimately, it's up to you and your partner to come to agreement.
