Questions
1. What is a legal document preparer in Nevada? A Legal Document Preparer is a registered and bonded professional authorized to prepare legal documents at a client’s direction. Legal Document Preparers assist with completing and formatting court and legal paperwork but do not represent clients in court.

Our services include the preparation of divorce and family law documents, motions, stipulations, answers and oppositions, name change documents, adoption and guardianship paperwork, deeds, estate-related documents, and other non-attorney legal filings. All documents are prepared in accordance with Nevada court formatting and filing requirements.
4. What services do you not provide? We do not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or recommendations regarding a client’s legal rights, options, or strategy. We do not tell clients what they should file, which documents are best for their situation, or how a court is likely to rule. We do not represent clients in court, communicate with judges or opposing parties on a client’s behalf, or guarantee any legal outcome. Matters that become contested or require legal analysis may require the assistance of a licensed attorney.
