Stay out of court – with the help of a Legal Document Assistant.

A Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is a highly trained and experienced professional who works with individuals and couples to prepare and file the documents required by the court to start and finish your case. LDAs provide professional self-help services for individuals who want to control the direction of their case and avert an entanglement in the court system.

The LDA works under your direction, at your pace, and in a professional environment where you can expect the personal attention you need at an affordable cost. An LDA is not an attorney, but many legal cases do not require court appearances, so official legal representation is not necessary when you use an LDA.

Since 1997, Alternative Legal Services has helped individuals and families settle their cases, amicably and affordably, without going to court.

Jill Chambers earned her American Bar Association's Accredited Paralegal Certification in 1994. It wasn't long after her career began that she recognized a tremendous need for affordable legal assistance. The challenges individuals face in their personal lives are difficult enough, and the financial hardship that can come with the high cost of a legal retainer increases stress.

Legal Document Assistants (LDAs), previously known as paralegals, give individuals who don't need an attorney or court intervention an opportunity to settle their case, amicably and affordably, out of court.

Jill opened Alternative Legal Services in 1997, providing the public with the perfect hassle-free, cost-effective solution to their legal needs.

Jill has over 25 years of education and professional experience, but also the personal experienced of going through her own divorce which has equipped her with the firsthand knowledge to truly understand her client’s needs, and approach them with kindness and empathy.
