ABOUT US
Thank you for inquiring about DIABLO VALLEY DIVORCE ASSISTANCE. Many people feel that when they are about to file for divorce, or any other family law proceeding, that it is necessary to hire an attorney in order to warrant protection over your legal rights. While some people feel comfortable in hiring an attorney, it is not always necessary.
An attorney will normally charge an hourly rate and most people are not aware that their legal fees begin to skyrocket because they are being charged for every phone call, letter, fax, email, etc. An attorney tends to be less sensitive to your needs and may take years to finish an action! A Legal Document Assistant office (formerly called "Independent Paralegal" until legislature passed a bill requiring Independent Paralegals to call themselves "Legal Document Assistants" back in 2000) can do the same amount of work that an attorney can do but at a much lower rate and usually in half the time.
Here at DIABLO VALLEY DIVORCE ASSISTANCE we are dedicated to helping people exercise their legal rights. We understand that most of our clients find this time in their lives scary, stressful and traumatic and simply do not know where to begin or what to do when it comes to filing an action with the Court. We are committed in helping our clients throughout the entire legal process, from beginning to end. It is our ultimate goal to make your legal action go as smoothly as possible!
Since we do not have an attorney in our office, should the occasion arise where you will need to seek attorney assistance, we will be able to assist you in finding an attorney in your area that can help you with your matter. Our office will prepare and file all the necessary forms required in order to process your legal needs. We encourage anyone that would like to save time and money to give our office a call. We offer free consultations and after-hour and weekend appointments for your convenience.

"When I first contacted Denise, I was a little apprehensive about hiring a paralegal versus an attorney. My brother persuaded me to call her and set up an appointment. From the first meeting I knew I had not made a mistake. Denise was courteous, professional and you can tell she actually cared about my concerns and needs. She prepared the documents immediately and had them filed within 48 hours after first meeting with her."
