About us

A Sacramento family business

We started First Line Legal Services because court paperwork shouldn't stop anyone from getting where they need to go.

Who we are

We're a Sacramento family team. Our Legal Document Assistant is completing registration with Sacramento County and will review every form once we open. Until then, our free worksheets and free-help list are open to everyone.

What is a Legal Document Assistant?

In California, a Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is registered with the county and bonded to help people who represent themselves complete legal documents. An LDA is not a lawyer.

What we do

  • Type your answers onto official court forms
  • Check that every item on the form is answered
  • Explain where and how to file
  • File and serve papers at your request

What we can't do

  • Give legal advice or choose forms for you
  • Tell you what to say or predict a result
  • Represent you in court
  • Help with immigration matters
