Frequently Asked Questions
What is a legal document preparer?
A legal document preparer (LDP) is a non-attorney who prepares legal documents for self-represented individuals. In California, LDPs are registered with the county and must follow strict rules. We do not provide legal advice or represent clients in court.
How fast can you prepare eviction documents?
Most eviction document packages are completed within 24–48 hours of receiving your information. Rush preparation is available for urgent situations.
Do you serve both landlords and tenants?
Yes. We prepare documents for landlords initiating eviction proceedings and for tenants who need to respond to an unlawful detainer complaint.
Do you file documents with the court?
Yes. We coordinate court filing and process serving on your behalf so you do not have to navigate the courthouse yourself.
