The Role of a Document Preparer

Our staff will work hard to make sure your documents are prepared properly and will be filed in a timely manner with the court. We will insure that your request will be made known and your documents will look professional. You will have the opportunity to review all of your documents prior to them being filed with the court.

A document preparer cannot give you legal advice and can only prepare your documents as directed by you and the attorney. However, you will have the opportunity to meet with the attorney if you choose to do so.

The Role of the Attorney

Our office is owned and operated by Attorney Scott Mitchell and he is available to meet with you and discuss you case. There is a reasonable fee charged for meeting with the attorney. The attorney can also prepare and outline for you to use when going to court, or the attorney can go to court with you if you so choose.

It is the opinion of our office that it is almost always better to have an attorney go with you to your court hearing. However, if you simply cannot afford to pay for in-court representation, then the next best thing is to have the attorney give you guidance and help you prepare an outline to use while at court on your own.

The attorney is the only person who can give you legal advice. A paralegal service on it's own cannot.

An attorney's job is to assist clients with the understanding of the law and the court process. The attorney is also to assertively and passionately represent the position of the client. In our office we are there to make sure are clients get the best possible legal assistance. We do care about every case and we strive to be the best legal document service in the Valley, and to be the best attorney's office in the Valley.

The court needs our assistance as well. Too many times clients and the court are left on their own to deal with inadequate and incomplete work performed by other legal document businesses. It is our mission to be better than all of them!
