Frequently Asked Questions

Are you lawyers? Are you attorneys?

I am not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice. I can provide legal document assistance at your specific request. A Legal Document Assistant is NOT a Lawyer. By law, a Legal Document Assistant cannot give you legal advice or represent you in the courts in any matter.  If you need to consult with an attorney, your Legal Document Assistant will be able to provide you with a referral.

Why Choose San Diego Legal and Real Estate Services?

You will potentially save thousands of dollars by utilizing my services. In most cases, I can prepare all of your divorce documents for a low flat rate compared with hiring an attorney.

What Does an LDA Do?

An LDA is an experienced professional who is authorized to prepare legal documents for a client, but only upon the express direction of the client, without providing legal advice or offering an opinion of a likely outcome.  An LDA can provide attorney-prepared information to clients to assist in making informed decisions.  Most importantly, they can provide invaluable assistance in routine legal tasks such as preparing and filing documents for divorces, wills, trusts, and many other legal documents.

It has been a real pleasure working with a Lori at San Diego Legal and Real Estate. She is very passionate and knowledgeable in her field of expertise. She is always willing to go the xtra mile and educate me on all my legal issues. I have referred her to others and she never disappoints. I highly recommend Lori, and her practice to anyone looking for a professional, as well as a person with integrity, and who really cares.

Me and my wife worked with Lori on creating an estate plan/living trust. It was easy to work with her and she was very helpful and patient answering all our questions regarding the details and “difficult to understand” component of of these contracts.

Lori is fantastic! She helped me deal with a challenging Wills and Trusts issue with extreme patience and care. She helped us identify exactly what needed to be done and turned around the work lightning fast. I look forward to working with her in the future and I strongly recommend at least speaking with her.

Lori was the best mediator I could have asked for going through the divorce process. I wanted the divorce to be easy and painless and Lori helped majorly with that. We had some hiccups, such as having the divorce be a default divorce, and I had to file a domestic violence restraining order against my ex as well. She helped me through it all and managed to be a third party to communicate between me and my ex. She actually treated me like a human and not another customer to make money off of – I will always appreciate Lori for everything she has done for me in one of the toughest parts of my life. Definitely use her services, you won’t regret it!

Lori has been so helpful in helping evict my tenant. I would recommend her to anyone. She has both professional and personal experience in helping landlords during the eviction process and is a pleasure to work with.

Our requirement was not easy. Refinancing my deceased parents home required dissolving the Trust, filing a death certification and then working with a new lendor.. She saved us close to $1000 or more over using an attorney! All smiles 🙂
