WHY COME TO BEST LAW FIRM?

Individuals often come to us after trying to do it alone or after experiencing a court disaster. But some mistakes cannot be fixed. It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you can handle your situation on your own. Do-It-Yourself forms make legal matters seem very simple. Unfortunately, there are many dangers to using these template legal forms. Most of them are not specific to Arizona law which is a community property state.

Our affordable fees include both the document preparation service and an attorney consultation. Paralegals cannot give you legal advice. We can. The difference here is that you receive legal guidance from an experienced licensed attorney. We can counsel you regarding other documentation you may need and ensure that every aspect of your legal issues is taken care of.

We offer a flat fee for all document preparation, which includes a personal consultation with your lawyer. Call 480-219-2433 or contact us online to schedule a time to discuss your legal concerns. We will work with you to determine which documents or legal forms you need and how to accomplish your goals.

POTENTIAL DANGERS

Because of the potential dangers, there are several reasons why people should come to Best Law Firm to have their legal documents prepared:

1. You are held to the standard of an attorney when you deal with the legal system.
2. You simply do not know what you do not know. And not knowing can lead to costly mistakes that can haunt you for years.
3. You may think that you understand the forms, but you may not understand the legal significance of what you are doing and the long-term effects it can have. A form cannot anticipate future problems and provide protection. A form cannot counsel you about additional legal documents you may need.
4. Non-lawyers who prepare documents cannot give you legal advice, suggest strategies, or advise you about your rights. As experienced attorneys, we are able to provide the guidance you need to avoid problems. Our clients benefit from the peace of mind that comes with knowing an experienced attorney is preparing their legal documents and answering their questions without the high costs associated with having a lawyer do everything.

We will empower you to make informed legal decisions and prepare the documentation you need to protect your interests today and in the future. Call 480-219-2433 or contact us online to schedule an appointment to discuss how we can prepare your legal document or provide a legal consultation.

LIMITED SCOPE REPRESENTATION

Best Law Firm offer clients the option of a limited scope representation. Pursuant to Rule 9(B) of the Rules of Family Law Procedure, attorneys are allowed to represent clients for a limited purpose or issue. This means, in an effort to save time and money, you can retain an attorney at Best Legal Document Services to consult with you, provide you with legal advice, answer your legal questions and prepare your legal documents.

While the scope of legal representation is limited, by utilizing Best Legal Document Services to consult with and draft your documents, you will receive advice from a licensed attorney who is also allowed by law to answer your questions concerning your rights—a service that a paralegal and document preparers are not able to provide.
