What is a Legal Document Assistant?
A Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is an experienced professional who is authorized under California law to assist the public in preparing legal documents for consumers, but only at the direction of the client.
An LDA is not an attorney, and cannot provide legal advice, or represent individuals in court.
The LDA statute requires LDA’s to maintain a bond, and to be registered, in order to offer document preparation services to the public.
The registration is valid for two years, at which time it must be renewed.
