What we do, and what we can't do
Please read this before you use our services. Draft: our lawyer reviews it before paid services open.
We are not lawyers and we are not a law firm. First Line Legal Services is getting ready to open as a Legal Document Assistant business. Our registration with Sacramento County is in progress, and paid services are not open yet.

No lawyer-client relationship
Using our website, our online guide or our services does not create a lawyer-client relationship. What you tell us is not protected the way it would be with a lawyer.
About our online guide
Our planned online guide (not open yet) will use AI to ask the questions on court forms and explain words. It can be wrong. It will never give legal advice, and once we open, our Legal Document Assistant will review every form before you sign.
Deadlines are yours
We send reminders, but you are responsible for your court dates and deadlines. If a deadline is less than 5 days away, contact free legal help right away.
