Why Choose an LDA?

A legal document assistant (LDA) is authorized under California law to prepare and file legal documents at the direction of the client. They provide self-help assistance to clients who wish to avoid the higher expenses of hiring an attorney. Clients also resort to LDAs if they want to quickly resolve legal issues and prevent further complications with the third-party, especially when the situation is emotionally overwhelming.

About Me

I have been working as a legal document assistant since 1990. I provide invaluable assistance with routine legal tasks, such as filling out forms and ensuring that all details are properly inputted in the area primarily of Estate Planning. With more than 30 years of experience under my belt and a commitment to excellent customer service, rest assured that you’re in good hands.

My Story

I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills n 1980 with a  double BA in Sociology and Human Studies.  I received my Paralegal Certificate in 1980 at the same time.

I began working for Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker  in 1980 as a corporate paralegal.  in 1984 I also worked for Sachs & Phelphs.


I moved to Kern County and soon after set up my typing service in 1990.  

In 1999 and the beginning of 2000 there was a major shift in the way the legal typing services were viewed.  A new profession was created in California called Legal Document Assistants!  Now the general public has access to quality legal services that they control. 

I am not an attorney.  I can only provide self help services at your specific direction.
