Document Help for the Peninsula, from Daly City to East Palo Alto

Court help on the Peninsula can be hard to get. San Mateo County’s family law and probate cases are handled at the Hall of Justice in Redwood City, and the court’s free Family Law Facilitator / Self-Help Center offers in-person help only a few mornings a week, with limited space. LegalDoc-Prep gives Peninsula and coastside residents another option: professional document preparation online, on your schedule.

David Weissman is a registered and bonded California Legal Document Assistant (LDA Registration #2019-01, Sacramento County) and has prepared legal documents for self-represented Californians since 1996. Our office is in Elk Grove, and San Mateo County clients work with us by Zoom, Google Meet or phone.
