You do know that a lawyers jury of his peers are lawyers. Right?
Sure, a draft (that you then tweak) is different than a one-size-fits-all (supposedly) form. Then again, tweaking it would possibly lead to losing the ability to collect from the lawyer in the event of a mistake.

Lawyers carry malpractice insurance for a reason. It's easier to collect from an in-state lawyer than from an out-of-state business.

Given that a prenup will only cost a couple hundred bucks, it's just safer to pay a lawyer to do it. And I'm not stumping for business here--nobody here knows my real name, and I don't do prenups anyways. I'm just stating my observations based on 10+ years as a practicing attorney.
