A legal assistant formerly known as a freelance paralegal can save you the costs of legal fees by preparing legal documents for the general public related to issues such as: eviction, divorce, adoption, guardianship and much more. A legal assistant does not need either the permission or the assistance of an attorney to prepare such legal documents. This profession came into existence recently in Los Angeles to simplify access to the legal system.

There was a time when only attorneys or paralegals that worked for an attorney had the authority to draft legal documents for others, but with the introduction of the doctrine of pro se, the profession of legal assistant was born. However, these legal document assistants cannot provide legal advise. They “correctly” prepare legal documents at the discretion of the consumer.

Specifically whether they are registered and bonded within the county they work in.
