What Is a Legal Document Assistant (LDA)?
A Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is a non-lawyer professional who prepares legal documents at the specific direction of clients representing themselves in self-help legal matters. LDAs must be bonded and registered in their local county (such as through the Madera County Clerk-Recorder), but they cannot provide legal advice or go to court.
What We Can Do
Prepare Paperwork
Type and format legal forms based strictly on your instructions.
File & Serve
File documents with the court and handle service of process when directed.
Provide Published Info
Supply attorney-approved general information and standard legal publications.
Handle Routine Matters
Assist with uncontested divorces, simple wills, deeds, bankruptcies, and name changes.
What an LDA Cannot Do
Give Legal Advice
Cannot evaluate your case, recommend strategies, or advise on legal rights.
Select Forms
Cannot choose which legal forms you need to file.
Represent in Court
Cannot speak for you or appear in front of a judge.
We work as your guide in the self-help process — preparing your documents accurately and handling the filing, while you remain in control of your own case.
I am not an attorney. I can only provide self-help services at your specific direction.
