Who are Legal Document Assistants? (LDA's)
Legal Document Assistants were once commonly known as Independent Paralegals. However, as of January 1st, 2000, only those paralegals working directly for attorneys may now be referred to as Paralegals. Those formerly known as Independent Paralegals are now officially known as Legal Document Assistants (LDA's).
LDA's have the same educational background as a paralegal and are required by law to be registered and bonded in the county in which they have their principal place of business.
PLEASE NOTE:
* A Legal Document Assistant is NOT a lawyer.
* By law, they cannot give you advice or represent you in court on any matter.
* If you need to consult with an attorney, your LDA will be able to provide you with a referral.
* All LDA's are registered and bonded. If a person is acting as an LDA, but is not registered and bonded,
then they there are operating illegally in California. The Bond is for your protection!
