Since even the best legal, self-help books can be confusing and overwhelming; your LDA can provide invaluable assistance with legal tasks, such as typing and filing the paperwork for divorces, bankruptcies, wills, and many other types of documents.
For example, to file an uncontested divorce in California, there are approximately 6 different forms which must be filled out exactly. The LDA is not allowed to suggest to the client what forms would be necessary for an uncontested divorce, but the LDA is allowed to have a pre-printed instruction sheet or list, prepared by the court or a licensed attorney, which specifies what forms are needed for an uncontested divorce.
