What We Do
Family Law Document Preparation for Self-Represented Individuals
Family law matters are among the most personal and emotionally challenging legal situations a person can face. Whether you are going through a divorce, establishing a custody arrangement, or seeking a restraining order, the paperwork involved can feel overwhelming.
By The People helps individuals throughout California navigate this paperwork with confidence. As a registered and bonded Legal Document Assistant office, we prepare all required family law documents accurately and efficiently, so you can focus on what matters most.
We are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice. All services are provided at your specific direction, as permitted under California Business and Professions Code sections 6400 to 6415.
Based in Ridgecrest and serving Kern County as our primary service area, we also assist clients remotely throughout Santa Barbara County, San Luis Obispo County, Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and the rest of California.
