Our Comprehensive Services
Evictions (Landlord/Tenant)
We assist both landlords and tenants with the complex process of unlawful detainer (eviction) actions. Our team prepares all required documents, including initial notices, summons and complaints, and default judgments. Navigating eviction law can be tricky and time-consuming, and our accurate document preparation helps protect your rights whether you are pursuing or defending against an action, making sure deadlines are met and forms are completed properly.
Family Law
Handling family matters can be emotionally challenging, which is why we offer discreet and professional document preparation for a variety of cases. Services cover divorce, legal separation, establishing or modifying child custody and visitation, and calculating child support. We ensure all necessary court forms are correctly completed and organized for submission, helping you move forward with your case efficiently and with confidence in your paperwork.
Estate Planning (Wills & Trusts)
Secure your family’s future and protect your assets with properly prepared estate planning documents. We draft Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Health Care Directives tailored to your specific wishes. Having these documents in place is crucial for controlling how your property is handled, designating who makes decisions on your behalf, and making your medical wishes known, all while potentially avoiding lengthy court processes later on.
Probate
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate, which can be complex and intimidating. We prepare the initial petitions, notices, and all subsequent court filings required throughout the probate process. Our detailed preparation helps executors and administrators navigate this required legal procedure efficiently, ensuring that all forms are accurately completed for submission to the court.
Personal Injury
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, we can prepare the documents needed to initiate your claim against the responsible party. This includes drafting and organizing the initial demand letters and preparing necessary court pleadings, such as the Complaint. Our document assistance ensures your initial legal steps are professional and well-documented. For complex cases or representation in court, we refer clients to experienced personal injury attorneys.
Habitability
We prepare documents for tenants involved in disputes regarding the habitability of their rented premises. These cases concern a landlord’s legal duty to maintain a property in a safe and livable condition, free from dangerous defects. We help you formally document and present your case to the court, ensuring all forms are submitted correctly to assert your rights as a tenant.
Guardianships
When a minor child needs a responsible adult appointed to care for them and/or manage their estate, we handle all Guardianship forms and initial court filings. This is a sensitive legal process that requires highly detailed and accurate documentation regarding the child’s welfare and the proposed guardian. We assist you in preparing the petition and related documents necessary to establish the guardian’s authority.
Conservatorships
When an adult is unable to manage their own finances or care for themselves due to illness or injury, a Conservatorship may be required to protect their interests. We prepare all the complex filing documents and petitions for this often-detailed court proceeding, covering both the person and the estate. Our precise work helps ensure the paperwork is ready for submission to the court so the process can begin.
Step-Parent Adoption
We help families formalize their bonds through the Step-Parent Adoption process by preparing all required legal documents. This includes preparing the petition and all necessary forms for terminating the birth parent’s rights and legally establishing the new parent-child relationship. Our goal is to make the documentation phase of this life-changing process as smooth and error-free as possible.
Adult Adoption
For those looking to establish a formal, legal parent-child relationship between two adults, we prepare all documents for Adult Adoptions. This type of adoption is often used for estate planning purposes or to formalize long-standing family bonds. We handle the paperwork, ensuring the petition and all related forms are correctly completed according to court requirements.
Small Claims and Other Civil Matters
If you are seeking to recover money owed to you or defending a claim under the Small Claims limit, we prepare all necessary documents and forms for filing. Additionally, we assist with other general civil filings, preparation of Deeds, Petitions for Name Changes, and Much More. Our service covers a broad range of civil litigation paperwork for self-represented litigants seeking accurate and affordable document assistance.
