This company prepares legal and court documents according to the consumers specific instructions, ensure the most current legal documents and court procedural guidance, and offer streamlined access to the courts, including accurate and timely document filing.


Lisa is a Certified Paralegal and Registered LDA, earning her Paralegal Certificate from S.F. Legal Studies Program in 1989. With 35 years of hands-on litigation paralegal experience in areas such as Family Law, Civil Law, Probate/Estate Planning, and Conservatorships/Guardianships, she brings a deep understanding of the legal system and a commitment to helping clients navigate it with confidence.

“I founded my company in January 2000 in Contra Costa County with a passion for providing consumers an affordable way to manage their legal documents and court matters. What began as a small effort to help friends, family, and neighbors outside of my full-time litigation paralegal role has grown into a trusted service now serving both Los Angeles and Contra Costa Counties.



As my family grew, I sought a more flexible schedule and a way to better support them. Through assisting others, I quickly realized the tremendous need for accessible, reasonably priced legal document assistance. That need inspired me to build the business I run today.



For more than 25 years, my company has offered professional, reliable legal document preparation, streamlined access to the courts, and empowering self-help education so clients understand crucial deadlines and procedures. The court system can be confusing and overwhelming, but my mission is to guide clients through the process with clarity, confidence, and less stress—saving them time, money, and the burden of unnecessary attorney fees.”
