Premium Legal is a legal document assistant office, or more commonly known as a "paralegal office". Our offices are unique from other paralegal offices because we handle such a wide variety of case types. We offer over 100 legal documents for preparation at a fraction of the cost that law firms would charge. We handle family law, bankruptcy, criminal, probate and civil cases. In addition, we draft miscellaneous forms such as power of attorney, deeds, and advanced health care directives. We are a licensed and bonded firm with the County of Stanislaus and are additionally insured.
California Business and Professions Code § 6400(f) states in pertinent part: "A legal document assistant, including any legal document assistant employed by a partnership or corporation, may not provide any self-help service for compensation, unless the legal document assistant is registered in the county in which his or her principal place of business is located..."
When you are searching for a paralegal service, please protect yourself and take the time to verify the person/corporation license. The licensing process for legal document assistants/paralegals is tedious, and requires a very large legal education as well as experience. If someone is not licensed, chances are, they probably do not know what they are doing. This is often found to be true with individuals who previously worked at a law office, and decide to be a paralegal on their own. Working in a law office and acquiring the legal education and experience to be a stand a lone paralegal are not the same - and your case depends on a competent and licensed individual who possesses the right training and education to work for you. If a paralegal is in fact licensed, their license number and issuing county will be in the ad, because that is a California Law requirement. Beware of unlicensed individuals asking you to pay in cash, and/or come to their home or who are willing to meet you somewhere because they have no office, no credentials, and no business bank account.
