Independent document preparation services and paralegals assist with non-lawyer legal paperwork, such as uncontested divorces, estate planning forms, business filings, and court petitions. Providers vary in the specific areas of law they support, whether they charge flat per-form fees or hourly rates, and if they offer virtual document delivery. A map location only shows where an office is based, not whether the provider specializes in family law, corporate filings, or immigration paperwork.

Good to know
What is the difference between a paralegal service and an attorney?
Document preparers and legal assistants help complete, organize, and file standard legal forms based on the information you provide. They are not licensed attorneys, meaning they cannot represent you in court, give legal advice, or interpret the law for your specific situation. Using a document service is typically much less expensive than hiring a lawyer for routine, uncontested matters.
How much do document preparation services usually cost?
Pricing depends on the complexity of the paperwork and the provider's fee structure. Simple individual forms or basic notarized affidavits often range from $50 to $150, while comprehensive packages for uncontested divorces, living trusts, or business incorporations typically cost between $200 and $800. These fees usually exclude court filing fees or government recording costs.
Do I need to visit the office in person to complete my documents?
Many providers handle the entire intake process online or over the phone, sending drafts via secure digital portals for your review. However, if your final documents require physical signatures and notarization, you may need to visit the office or arrange for a mobile notary to meet you.
