Legal document preparation in San Jose & Santa Clara County — prices up front
Every service Expert Multi-Services offers, with flat fees where they apply and consultation pricing where every case is different. Prepared by Rosa Gafare, registered and bonded Legal Document Assistant (LDA #269), in English or Spanish.
What is legal document preparation, and who can do it?
Legal document preparation means completing court and government forms correctly, at your direction, so you can file your own case. In California, a non-attorney may only do this for the public as a registered and bonded Legal Document Assistant (LDA). Expert Multi-Services is LDA #269, registered with the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder, and prepares divorce, family law, USCIS immigration and passport paperwork for flat fees, in English or Spanish. We are not attorneys and do not give legal advice.
