What Myselfrep is

A guided self-serve platform that automatically prepares jurisdiction-specific family law documents. Built by a Canadian family law lawyer.

Myselfrep.com walks family law clients through separation, parenting, and court paperwork using plain-language interviews. The platform automatically generates the correct court forms for the client's province — not generic templates, but the actual jurisdiction-specific documents required by that court.

For Legal Aid offices, that means clients arrive with completed, province-correct documents already in hand. Your staff review, advise, and file. They do not build from scratch, and they do not spend time identifying which forms apply.

The problem Legal Aid offices are dealing with
Clients arrive with nothing

The first appointment is spent gathering information, identifying the right provincial forms, and building documents the client could have completed themselves. That is 3 or more hours of staff time before any legal work happens.

Staff spend 3 hours per file on intake and first drafts

From initial intake to a completed first draft, most family law files require 3 hours of staff time before a lawyer can do anything useful. At scale, that is a material portion of your annual budget spent on document production, not legal advice.

Family law backlogs are growing and capacity is flat

Demand for family law services through Legal Aid continues to increase. Funding and headcount are not keeping pace. The only path to more files is getting more output from the same team.

Clients who do not qualify still need help and get nothing

Rejected applicants walk out without support. Many still need to complete court paperwork on their own. Myselfrep serves this group at $15 per person, fundable through DOJ and A2J grants outside your core operating budget.

Save 1,000 Hours a Year. That Is One Lawyer's Salary.

Myselfrep costs $30 per approved family file. The platform generates the correct jurisdiction-specific court forms automatically. Your staff skip intake and drafting entirely and start at review. At 333 files, you recover 1,000 hours — roughly the annual billable output of one full-time lawyer.

1,000 hours saved is one full junior lawyer salary redirected to legal work.

Every hour your staff spend on intake questions and provincial form selection is an hour not spent on the legal work only they can do. At 333 family files per year — a realistic volume for a mid-size Legal Aid office — Myselfrep returns the equivalent of a full-time junior lawyer's annual output back to your team.

The platform identifies the correct jurisdiction-specific forms for every file automatically. Your staff do not need to know which Ontario, BC, or Alberta form applies. The client arrives with the right documents completed.

The in-house template objection — addressed directly

"We already have templates. Our staff handle the drafts."

With in-house templates

Staff build the draft. Three hours minimum per file.

Someone on your team identifies the applicable provincial forms, runs intake, fills in the fields, and produces a first draft. That is 3 hours of salaried staff time — and your templates only work for the province your office knows well.

333 files x 3 hrs x $75/hr loaded = $74,925 in staff time annually
With Myselfrep

Client builds the draft with the right provincial forms. Staff review and close.

The platform determines the correct jurisdiction-specific forms and guides the client through them before they arrive. Your staff get a completed, province-correct draft on day one. Review takes 30 to 60 minutes, not 3 hours.

333 files x $30 = $9,990 total. Staff time freed: 1,000 hours annually.
Four things that change
01

Jurisdiction-specific forms generated automatically

The platform identifies the correct provincial court forms for every client based on where they live and what they need. Your staff do not spend time determining which forms apply. The client arrives with the right documents completed and ready for review.

02

File volume goes up without adding headcount

When staff spend 30 to 60 minutes on review instead of 3 hours on intake and drafting, the same team handles significantly more files. That is the most direct lever available to a Legal Aid ED who cannot hire.

03

Rejected applicants qualify for DOJ and A2J grant funding

Rejected applicants pay $15 per person. That fee saves 1 to 2 hours of intake and duty counsel time per file and qualifies for DOJ and Access to Justice grant funding — outside your core operating budget.

04

Your lawyers start from a finished, court-ready draft

By the time the file reaches a lawyer, the correct provincial forms are completed. The lawyer's job shifts from form selection and transcription to legal review and advice. That is what the salary should be paying for.

Fixed fee. Activation cap. Reporting your funders already need.

Pilots run 12 months with an activation cap aligned to your file volume. Pricing is fixed with no per-seat surprises. Checkpoint reporting at 90 and 180 days ties directly to cost-per-file and access metrics your funders already require.

There is no staff training program to run. Your team gets a one-page referral script. Clients complete the jurisdiction-specific forms before they walk in the door.

On rejected applicants and A2J funding: The $15 per rejected applicant fee is structured to qualify under DOJ and Access to Justice grant streams. That means the rejected-applicant tier typically sits outside your core operating budget. We can provide supporting language for that grant application if needed.
