Paralegals provide legal document preparation and guidance but cannot represent you in court or give legal advice. For uncontested cases where both parties agree, paralegal assistance is often sufficient and much more affordable. You'll represent yourself (pro per) with our professional document preparation and filing guidance.

If your case becomes contested, we'll provide you with referrals to qualified attorneys. Any work we've completed can be transferred to your attorney, and you'll have saved money on the initial document preparation. We only work with truly uncontested cases where both parties are in agreement.

The $500 flat fee includes: free consultation, complete document preparation, filing guidance, court procedure support, and ongoing assistance until your case is complete.

Uncontested divorce cases typically take 30-60 days from start to finish, while child custody cases may take 45-90 days. The timeline depends on court schedules and how quickly you provide required information. We work efficiently to complete your case as quickly as possible while ensuring accuracy.

In most uncontested cases, a brief final hearing is required where you'll appear before the judge to finalize your case. This typically takes 10-15 minutes and we'll prepare you thoroughly for what to expect. Some counties allow cases to be finalized without a hearing if all paperwork is in order.
