What is the difference between an LDA and an attorney?

A Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is a registered specialist in legal document preparation under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §6400. An LDA does not provide legal advice or represent clients in court. LDA services cost 3-5 times less than attorney fees while maintaining full compliance with court and agency requirements.

How much do your services cost?

Cost depends on case complexity. Estimated prices are listed on the website. The exact cost is determined after a free initial assessment and confirmed in a written contract. Government filing fees are paid separately. Payment plans are available.

How long does document preparation take?

Most documents are prepared within 2-7 business days. Complex packages such as EB-2 NIW petitions or Habeas Corpus may take 2-4 weeks. Rush requests are discussed individually.

Do you only work in California?

No. As a registered LDA in California, we prepare documents for clients across all 50 US states remotely. Our clients include residents of CA, NJ, MD, MI, PA, IL, HI, NC, FL, NY, AZ, TX, and more.

What is a surety bond and why does it matter?

A surety bond is a $25,000 deposit required by law for every registered LDA under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §6401. It protects clients: if a specialist's error causes harm, compensation can be received from the bond funds.

Can I sign documents remotely?

Yes. We use electronic signature services such as DocuSign. Electronic signatures have full legal force under the federal ESIGN Act and UETA. Documents signed via DocuSign are accepted by courts, USCIS, and other government agencies.

Do you speak Russian and Armenian?

Yes. Our founder Sergo Gambarian is trilingual and provides services in English, Russian, and Armenian. We specialize in helping Russian-speaking and Armenian-speaking immigrants across the United States.

Uncontested Divorce in California

An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree on dissolution, property division, and custody. This is significantly faster and cheaper than a contested divorce. We prepare all required documents; you just attend court hearings.

California Divorce Timeline: 6-Month Waiting Period

California requires a 6-month waiting period from petition filing to final judgment, even if both parties fully agree. During this time, spouses must complete mandatory parenting classes (if children are involved) and prepare all documents. We expedite this by preparing everything upfront.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement protects your property and clarifies obligations. In California, they're enforceable if they comply with fair disclosure requirements (Family Code 1610). We help prepare an agreement that will be upheld in court.

Adoption Process in California

Adoption establishes new parental relationships. California recognizes stepparent adoption, guardianship to adoption, and full adoption, each with distinct procedures. We prepare all petitions, consents, and court documents required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an uncontested divorce cost in California?

Document preparation for uncontested divorce costs $500-800, plus court filing fees (approximately $400-500) and service costs (approximately $100-200).

Can you help with adoption?

Yes, we help prepare adoption documents including petitions, consents, and orders for stepparent adoption, guardianship to adoption, and related matters.

What if my marriage was outside the US?

California recognizes marriages entered outside the US if valid in the jurisdiction where entered. We help with documents needed to divorce such marriages, including translations and recognition.

Do I need an attorney?

For uncontested divorce and simple documents, working with an LDA is sufficient. For complex cases involving children, significant assets, or disputes, consulting an attorney is recommended.
