Where to Begin: Getting Divorce Help

Priority One Legal Team September 17, 2022 No Comments

It can be very confusing and overwhelming about where to begin once you have made the decision to get a divorce. Today, more than ever, there are many different avenues and options that you have when pursuing divorce help in San Jose or anywhere in California. Let’s look at some of the traditional options, such as hiring an attorney or mediator. A choice that many couples are exploring when they are not able to reach an agreement is mediation. In mediation, a trained and licensed mediator, who many times is an actual attorney, will sit down with the couple to discuss coming up with a mutual agreement that addresses the issues in the case such as child custody, child and spousal support, and the division of assets and debts. The typical difference between hiring a mediator versus an attorney who represents only one spouse, is a mediator is working together

Uncontested Divorce Without an Attorney

Priority One Legal Team August 22, 2022 No Comments

Are you looking for someone to help you with your uncontested divorce in San Jose or Santa Clara, San Mateo, or San Benito Counties? People looking for uncontested divorce help usually turn to divorce attorneys for help in this area, but often these attorneys typically use a paralegal to prepare the actual paperwork for the uncontested divorce. Why use an attorney then? You don’t have to. Interestingly enough, in California, you can actually prepare your own divorce paperwork, as there is no requirement to hire a divorce attorney to prepare your uncontested divorce. This is why using a legal document assistant (LDA) or legal document service may be a viable, less expensive, alternative to using a divorce attorney to prepare and file your uncontested divorce paperwork. Of course, if you have a complicated case or are not in agreement with your spouse, an experienced family law attorney may be a better

Are you considering hiring a divorce attorney to do your divorce?

Priority One Legal Team October 4, 2021 No Comments

You can certainly hire a divorce attorney to prepare your divorce paperwork, but you might not actually need to. Have you ever considered doing the divorce yourself with the assistance of a professional legal document preparation service? A Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is a person who can help in-pro-per (self-represented) clients prepare and file their divorce paperwork, without the assistance of an attorney. While a Legal Document Assistant (LDA) cannot give legal advice, individuals who know what they want with regards to the details of their divorce action can direct the Legal Document Assistant in how they want their divorce handled. In turn, the Legal Document Assistant can then draft their divorce documents based on the client’s specific requests and direction. Since our clients are in full agreement to work together to reach an agreement on what terms and divisions work best for them with regards to child custody, child

Other advantages to using a Legal Document Assistant (LDA) as opposed to a divorce attorney for my divorce?

Priority One Legal Team July 21, 2021 No Comments

Most attorneys will require a hefty retainer to start your case which will only cover up to a certain number of hours at their given hourly rate.  After this retainer has been used up, which can happen quite quickly in divorce cases, you will then be billed hourly for all added time expended on your case.  This will result in monthly bills that may often continue, even after your case has been completed. Many legal document preparation services will quote a flat fee for their work, which means you will also not be charged for every email, phone call and correspondence, as you would if you hired an attorney without a flat fee contract. Additionally, many of our clients have reported that by using a service like ours, they actually minimized the emotions that can sometimes come into play when an attorney is involved. If you do choose to use
