What LegalDoc-Prep Does Not Do
LegalDoc-Prep provides document preparation services only. We do not provide legal advice, decide whether a claim should be filed, calculate what a claim is worth, negotiate with the other party, or appear at the hearing. The court decides the outcome of every small claims case.
Attorneys generally cannot represent parties at a small claims hearing in California. For free information about the small claims process, clients may contact the small claims advisor for their county, available through the California Courts Self-Help Guide.
