  • Legal Document Assistants (LDA) were once commonly known as Independent Paralegals.  
  • As of January 1, 2000, a new California law known as SB1418 authorizes Legal Document Assistants
    to prepare legal documents for people doing their own legal tasks.
  • Only those Paralegals working directly for attorneys may now be referred to as Paralegal.  Although
    some Legal Document Assistants also work for attorneys and then are considered Paralegal.
  • Legal Document Assistants are required by law to be registered and bonded in the county in which
    they have their principal place of business.
  • Legal Document Assistants provide an affordable legal alternative by assisting people with their self-
    help (pro per) legal needs.
