Unhappy Customers Of Document Preparation Services Ay Dont Be Fooled

Customers like Fernando de Luna, who in Texas tried to finalize his divorce in court but found that the company he thought would help represent him was not, in fact, licensed to practice law. Judges say it happens a lot, people who choose to represent themselves, using a legal preparation service, and end up being swindled into paying for improperly filed documents and legal advice that is a violation of the companys role. Here in California legal document preparation services have similar roles. A California legal document assistant is not an attorney or paralegal and cannot give legal advice, represent you in court, or select forms for you. Divorce attorneys agree, not all cases require the use of a lawyer. Simple cases in which there are no children or property involved are completely manageable with self-help services. Los Angeles divorce services are available at reasonable costs, especially when compared to attorney fees. But, it is important to understand the difference. California divorce forms are accessible to almost anyone, but filing can be confusing and costly if done wrong. Any divorce service that gives legal advice, tells you how to answer questions in court, or how to address certain issues in paper filing, is violating its role. But a legal document preparer can help file the forms correctly, ensuring they dont get rejected, and save multiple trips to the courthouse as well as extensive fees for an attorney you may not even need.
