Frequently Asked Questions ๐Ÿค”

Everything you need to know about working with me.

What is a Legal Document Preparer? +

An Arizona Certified Legal Document Preparer (CLDP) is a professional certified by the Arizona Supreme Court to prepare legal documents for self-represented individuals. I can help you complete forms, prepare documents, and understand court procedures, but I cannot provide legal advice or represent you in court.

How is this different from hiring an attorney? +

Attorneys can provide legal advice and represent you in court, while CLDPs focus on accurate document preparation at a fraction of the cost. If your case is straightforward and you're comfortable representing yourself, my services can save you significant money while ensuring your documents are prepared correctly.

How long does the process take? +

Most basic documents can be prepared within 2-5 business days. More complex cases may take 1-2 weeks. During our consultation, I will provide a specific timeline based on your needs. Rush service is available for an additional fee.

Do I need to come to your office? +

I offer flexible meeting options including video calls and phone consultations. Many clients prefer to complete the entire process remotely via secure email. I will work with whatever is most convenient for your schedule.

What if I need to make changes later? +

All packages include follow-up support for revisions and modifications. Standard packages include 30 days of support, and Premium packages include 90 days. I want to ensure your documents are perfect before filing.
