About LDAs
Who are Legal Document Assistants (LDAs)?
Legal Document Assistants (LDAs) were once commonly known as Independent Paralegals; however, as of January 1, 2000, only Paralegals working directly for attorneys may now be called Paralegals. Those formerly known as Independent Paralegals are now officially known as Legal Document Assistants (LDAs). LDAs are REQUIRED by law to be registered and bonded in the county in which they have their principal place of business.
For the first time, a new California law known as SB1418 authorizes non-lawyers to prepare legal documents for people doing their own legal tasks. Effective January 1, 2000, these non-lawyers, called Legal Document Assistants, may:
• Distribute to their customers legal materials that have been published or approved by a lawyer
• Prepare the customers' legal documents under the direction of their customers
• File the customers' legal documents in the appropriate courts
Do I need an LDA?
If you have already decided on a course of action but are uncertain about how to fill out the paperwork, you may need the services of an LDA. An LDA may be especially helpful to you in finishing and filing your legal paperwork.
