TEAM Legal Document Services

A lot of people don’t realize that for «straightforward» legal matters like uncontested divorces, wills and that sort of thing, you don’t have to go to the time and expense of hiring a lawyer. You can deal with the paperwork yourself, but it can be very time-​consuming and intimidating. There is another way: this company. Rick Nelson (yes, that’s really his name!) will take care of the form-​filling and handle the filing part of it. If you have questions, he has answers, and gets back to you VERY quickly.
They aren’t lawyers, nor do they claim to be, but for the sort of things I mentioned, I have no hesitation in recommending TEAM!

If you are recommended to give a dollar cost estimate on «form SC100» when filing a small claims, instead insist on an exact dollar amount of all costs, including the process service cost of $ 75, if completed by Team Legal & SC100 form filing of $ 225. Keep these filing and process service costs in mind when accepting filing assistance for lower dollar small claims cases. You may be told that the claim amount can be changed later in front of the judge. In my case, the SC100 stated amount was the only gauge utilized and additional costs not originally included on the SC100 were not up for consideration during the small claims court trial. In all Simi Valley small claims cases, the judge and a volunteer group during court, insist on arbitration and they go by what is on the original SC100 filing. Costs not mentioned on the original filing, in my case, were subsequently not factored in the arbitration negotiation. In hindsight, it would’ve been easier to arbitrate a higher win had all costs been itemized upfront Vs. the recommended estimate amount. The other option could’ve been to take a chance with the judge. All litigants were told in court, should parties choose not to accept the arbitration option, going in front of the judge may not have a favorable outcome. With arbitration, you save time but, «no one wins».
