Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Legal Document Assistant (LDA) in California?
- A California Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is a trained, registered, and bonded professional who can prepare legal documents at your direction. LDAs are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice, represent you in court, or decide which forms you should use.
- We specialize in preparing accurate, properly formatted paperwork so you can save time, avoid costly mistakes, and reduce expenses.
How is an LDA different from a lawyer in California?
- An attorney can provide legal advice, interpret the law for your specific situation, and represent you in court.
- A California LDA focuses only on document preparation based on your choices.
- Think of us as document specialists — we make sure your paperwork is complete, clear, and ready to file.

- No. By law, a California LDA cannot provide legal advice, tell you which forms to choose, or make legal decisions for you.
- We can explain what each document is for so you can decide which one you need.
How much does a Legal Document Assistant cost in California?
- Hiring an LDA is typically much more affordable than hiring an attorney for document preparation.
