Expedited preparation & community support

Subject to availability and scope confirmation: two-business-day preparation adds 25%; next-business-day preparation adds 50%. Complex matters receive an individual deadline assessment. These preparation add-ons do not replace Document Review’s existing expedited terms.

A discretionary 10% nonprofit/community discount may be available when approved in the written quote. Document Review pricing and terms remain unchanged.

All package terms are subject to statutory cancellation rights. Read our Terms & Conditions, including the California LDA 24-hour cancellation protection. Monthly review plans currently require a new purchase each month; no automatic recurring charges.

Clear scope, dependable support

Every package covers the documents, stages, quantities, and deliverables listed in your written service agreement. Later proceedings and ongoing case support are included only when expressly listed.

Document preparation: getting started, timing, and payment

A signed service agreement, complete information, relevant records, your instructions, and a 50% deposit are required to begin. Initial drafts are generally prepared within 3–5 business days after these items are received. Complex projects receive an individualized estimate. Court and agency processing times, hearings, and statutory waiting periods are separate; acceptance and outcomes are determined by the court or agency.

The remaining balance is due before filing and release of final copies. Clients review the facts and requested relief and sign required documents before submission.

Revisions and changes in scope

Document-preparation packages include two consolidated revision rounds within the agreed scope. Corrections to our preparation errors do not count against those rounds. New instructions, substantial new information, additional documents, contested issues, hearings, appeals, enforcement, or additional applications require a revised scope and quote approved before added work begins.

Filing, service, and separate expenses

Filing coordination is included only when listed in the quote. Electronic filing is available where supported; local paper filing is available in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Where included, we provide submission records and available filed copies. Client-provided funds may be submitted for applicable court fees.

Process-server coordination is available when requested; clients may instead arrange service through a legally permitted person. Court and agency fees, process service, publication, recording, notary services, and approved third-party expenses are separate. Ordinary paper-filing postage is included in the quoted fee; special delivery is quoted separately.

Minor technical filing corrections within the agreed scope are included. New substantive requirements are reviewed with you before additional work or charges.

Family agreements and mediation

Applicable family document-preparation packages include an MSA or parentage agreement reflecting the supplied instructions and agreed terms. Mediation needed to reach those terms is a separately scoped and priced service.

Client direction, attorney supervision, and service area

Public document preparation is performed at the self-represented client’s direction. The client determines claims, defenses, requested relief, and approach. Attorney-directed paralegal research and drafting follow counsel’s assignments and supervision. Specialized or complex services receive a defined custom quote; representation and legal advice are not included in public document-preparation packages.

We primarily serve California. Requests elsewhere in the United States are reviewed individually for applicable requirements and availability. Attorney and organizational projects specify deliverables, revision allowances, milestones, and payment terms in their written agreements.

Document Review has separate terms

Document Review provides plain-language explanation letters and source-provided instructions. Its document/page limits, turnaround, clarification allowances, subscription hours, and payment terms remain governed by the Document Review terms. The two document-preparation revision rounds and 50% deposit do not apply to Document Review. Single and package reviews include their stated 15-minute clarification exchange; subscription clarification counts toward included hours.
