ABout the Business
We offer complete confidentiality and professional assistance.
Legal document assistants (formerly known as independent paralegals) provide the expertise, professional training and experience to help you represent yourself. Our experience and training will help you avoid the need to become entangled in a legal system that can often be expensive, confusing, and complicated. Even the best self-help books can be difficult and overwhelming. We work with you so your documents are completed professionally and on time.
Our goal is to provide the help you need to help yourself.

I am a trained, registered, and bonded Legal Document Assistant. I have a Bachelor's in Fine Arts and have been a resident of Santa Cruz since 1998.
I have a strong background in conflict resolution skills and volunteered as a family-law mediator for the Santa Cruz Conflict Resolution Center. I have long-standing professional relationships with multiple attorneys and have vast experience working on collaborative cases.
I work compassionately and professionally with my clients and I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples access the legal system.
