Frequently Asked Questions

A California Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is a registered, bonded professional authorized under California Business and Professions Code Section 6400-6415 to prepare legal documents at your direction. LDAs can save you thousands compared to attorney fees ($500-$1,500 vs. $3,000-$15,000+) while providing expert document preparation. Unlike attorneys, LDAs cannot provide legal advice or represent you in court, but we ensure your documents are properly prepared and filed according to California court requirements.

We prepare documents for family law matters (divorce, custody, child support, spousal support, restraining orders), civil matters (small claims, civil complaints, breach of contract), and estate planning (wills, trusts, deeds, probate documents, power of attorney). We also assist with business formation documents (LLC, corporation, DBA filings).

Our document preparation services are significantly more affordable than attorney fees. While attorneys typically charge $3,000-$15,000+ for legal representation, our document preparation services range from $500-$1,500 depending on the complexity of your case. We offer free consultations to discuss your specific needs and provide transparent pricing before beginning any work.
