How Long Does the Attorney Representation Process Take?

How long the process takes when hiring attorneys

If you’ve purchased $699 attorney representation through HelloPrenup, the timeline to finalize your prenuptial agreement can vary depending on several factors — primarily your attorney’s availability and the complexity of your agreement.


⏱️ Typical Timeline

In most cases, the process takes anywhere from 1 day to 1 week.
Here’s what can influence that timing:


Faster Turnaround (Same-Day or Next-Day)

You may be able to finalize your prenup within 24 hours if:

  • Your attorney has open availability.

  • Your attorney has a light case load at the moment.

  • You have minimal customizations or questions.

  • There’s little to no negotiation needed between you and your partner.

In this scenario, the process can move quickly — sometimes completed the same day the attorney review begins.


Longer Turnaround (Up to a Week or More)

Your prenup may take several days or longer if:

  • You have complex requests or revisions.

  • There’s significant back-and-forth with your attorney or your partner.

  • Your assigned attorney has limited availability (e.g., during busy seasons or holidays).

In these situations, your attorney will work to accommodate your needs while ensuring your agreement is thorough, accurate, and compliant with your state’s legal requirements.


💡 Tip

To help your process move faster:

  • Review your prenup draft carefully before getting on your 1-hour consultation call.

  • Jot down all of your questions and proposed revisions prior to the call to stay organized.

  • Clearly communicate your key requests or questions up front.

  • Respond promptly to your attorney’s messages and document edits.
