What We Do
More Legal Document Preparation Services for Self-Represented Individuals
Legal matters do not always fall neatly into family law or estate planning. At By The People, we offer a wide range of additional document preparation services to help self-represented individuals throughout California navigate courts, landlord-tenant disputes, civil matters, and more.
Whether you need help with a name change, an eviction, a small claims filing, or coordinating process serving, we prepare all required documents accurately and at your specific direction so you can move your case forward with confidence.
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.
