Frequently Asked Questions
 

At Central Valley LDAS, we know the legal process can feel overwhelming. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive. If you don’t see your question listed, please contact us. We’re happy to help
What is a Legal Document Assistant (LDA)?
A Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is a licensed and bonded professional who prepares legal documents at your direction. Unlike attorneys, LDAs cannot provide legal advice or represent you in court. Unlike paralegals, LDAs work directly with the public.
What does "In Pro Per" mean ?
“In Pro Per” is a legal term meaning you are representing yourself in court without an attorney. Many people choose this route to save money. An LDA helps by preparing the necessary documents correctly and efficiently.
 
How are LDAs different from anyone? 
Attorneys can give legal advice and represent you in court. LDAs cannot, but we provide accurate, court-ready documents at a fraction of the cost.
 
Do you go to court with me?
No. As LDAs, we cannot represent you in court. We prepare and file your documents so you can represent yourself with confidence.
 
What areas of law do you cover?
We assist with a wide range of matters including:
 
  • Family Matters – divorce, custody, support, name changes.
  • Civil Matters – small claims, contracts, business formation.
  • Estate & Property – deeds, wills, trusts, probate assistance.
  • You can review a list of our services here.

How much does it cost to use an LDA?

Costs vary depending on the type of document and complexity of your case, but generally, our services are far more affordable than hiring an attorney. Contact us for a free estimate.

Do you guarantee my case outcome?

No. As Legal Document Assistants, we cannot guarantee the outcome of any legal matter because we do not represent clients in court or provide legal representation. However, we do guarantee that your legal documents will be prepared accurately, professionally, and filed correctly according to court requirements.
