Help for the parts of life that come with paperwork.
Divorce, custody, a will, a green card, a notarized signature, or a loved one in custody. Most of it is navigable. We translate the process into plain language, do the documents, and tell you when you need a courtroom lawyer and when you don’t.
What we handle
Divorce, paternity, custody, visitation, support, and small claims, resolved with a Los Angeles County certified mediator rather than a courtroom.
Family law, estate, and small claims paperwork, prepared and filed by a registered Los Angeles County legal document preparer.
Wills, revocable living trusts, health care directives, and powers of attorney, drafted so they work when they are needed.
Family petitions, green cards, citizenship, work authorization, and visas for founders and early hires. Attorney-handled, start to finish.
Acknowledgments, jurats, loan signings, estate documents, and apostille coordination across Santa Monica and the Westside, usually same day.
Alternative sentencing, treatment advocacy, in-custody support, record sealing, and reentry. The reason this firm exists.
Create your resolution instead of having one handed to you.
