LDAs are often commissioned by people who have chosen to represent themselves in a legal matters. An LDA is not an attorney, and therefore works strictly under the client’s directions and instructions.

Legal forms and documents can be confusing for people who are not well-versed in legalese. Attention must be paid to minute details. Specific formats must be followed when completing legal documents and forms. Hiring an LDA for document preparation can save you incredible amounts of time, money and stress.
Under your direction, an LDA can help you file and serve those forms and documents. Getting your documents completed - correctly - the first time will prevent long delays in your legal proceedings.
For people who choose to represent themselves in their legal matters, LDAs are a great set of helping hands + investment, as they are both extremely time-efficient and cost-effective.

Be cognizant of the fact that it is illegal for an LDA to provide you any kind of legal advice, explanation, opinion or recommendations about your possible legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms, and strategies; nor can LDAs represent you in court.
An LDA works solely under your direction. Only at your request can they provide you with general published factual information pertaining to legal procedures, rights, or obligations that was authored or approved by an attorney.
Always consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction for legal questions and concerns.
