WHAT EVERY GUIDE GIVES YOU

Your state's law in plain language, with the statute behind every rule.

STACKED LEGAL® is a legal publisher, not a law firm. Every guide is written to one state's law, names the statute behind each rule and carries the date it was last checked against the law.

Plainly: a guide gives you legal information, not legal advice. It tells you what the law says and how the process works, so you can handle what you can and know when to hire help.

Questions people ask before they buy

Is a guide a substitute for a lawyer?

No. A guide tells you what the law requires and how the process works, with the statute behind each rule, so you can handle what you can handle and know when to hire help. For advice about your own situation, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.

How current is the law in each guide?

Every guide carries a law-current date on the cover and copyright page. New editions ship yearly, and if you register your book you will hear when one is ready.

What is in the bonus toolkit?

A free download tied to the guide's topic: checklists, worksheets and a starter template. Register your book with the number from the inside cover to unlock it.

Do template packs work in my state?

Each pack is drafted to a specific state's statutes and pairs with that state's guide. The pack page names the state it is written for.

Can I get a refund?

No. Books are not returnable. If a copy arrives damaged or misprinted, contact us and we replace it at no cost.
