About Us

Atlas Document Preparation Services is not a law firm, and we are not attorneys. We are Legal Document Assistants, LDAs, experienced professionals authorized to prepare legal documents for our clients, but only at the direction of the client.

At Atlas Document Preparation Services we assist the “self-help” client in handling his own legal matters without the cost of an attorney. We can only provide self-help services and complete documents at your specific direction. Atlas Document Preparation Services not only helps to fill out forms but has valuable resources for you in the form of attorney authored or attorney approved information.

Many legal forms are very confusing. Incorrectly filled out forms will delay your case, possibly for a long time. We at Atlas Document Preparation Services can help you avoid the pitfalls, and we make sure every important detail on a form is accounted for. At Atlas Document Preparation Services we know it is important for you to move forward with your life, whether it is filing for divorce, putting together a living trust, changing your name, or other matters. We at Atlas Document Preparation Services believe in helping our clients with compassion and empathy as they go through these life changes. This is what we believe makes us the best choice for your self-help legal endeavors.
