Eviction

I came to LA Paralegals for an eviction case. Since my apartment complex didn't care about my wellbeing, I decided to find someone who does. A friend of mine told me about Los Angeles Paralegals so I gave him a call and set up an appointment. When I met up with them, the paralegal Francis was very nice and helped me out with my problem. I am so grateful that God placed him in my path and I encourage anyone out there who needs legal help to contact LA Paralegals.

Divorce

When I finally decided to start my divorce, I was located out of state and needed someone to handle filing the papers in California. I called Los Angeles Paralegals and they immediately picked up. Francis took the information required for the forms and emailed me the completed divorce papers in the same hour. After signing them and sending him the paperwork, he filed the divorce papers at the downtown courthouse on the SAME day...Wow. Not only did he file right away, he served my soon to be ex the following day. Here I was thinking that the divorce process would be even more painful with the legal system, but Los Angeles Paralegals and his team made it quick, simple and easy. For what these guys charge, I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

Bankruptcy

So you need to file for bankruptcy and don't know where to start? I found them online and called the office. I was immediately transferred to someone that actually answered my questions and gave me pricing over the phone. I met with Los Angeles Paralegals the next day. He explained to me step-by-step how bankruptcy affects your credit, the entire bankruptcy process, and what to expect along the way. I paid less than hiring an attorney and the whole process took 4 months. Hands down, you are not going to get better help anywhere for the price. Los Angeles Paralegals are helpful, efficient, and cost effective.

Bankruptcy

Los Angeles Paralegals was very knowledgeable and Francis was quick. My bankruptcy paperwork was done within 15 minutes. I say this because my boyfriend went to another paralegal the same time as me and she took months to do it which is ridiculous. I'm now discharged and debt free. I highly recommend. Thank you Los Angeles Paralegals for answering my millions of questions lol..it's been a long and scary process and I'm glad it's over. Good luck all!

Divorce

I had an amazing experience with Los Angeles Paralegals. I contacted him almost a year ago to help me with my divorce. I had filed a few years ago, wasted a lot of money and time on something I just couldn't handle by myself. I only had to go in a few times, was able to be seen quickly, appreciated how quickly he got back to me via email and phone. He explained everything he was doing, very quick and to the point. I checked the mail this past Friday and saw the final paperwork — with a child, just under a year is awesome and fast. If you're looking for someone to help handle your divorce, check him out!

Frequently Asked Questions

Eviction FAQs

Need to evict your tenant right away?

Our Los Angeles Eviction Paralegals will evict your tenant and guide you through the complete process. Most landlords are unsure of how and when to file an eviction – at the end of the day, you are the landlord, and you need to get your tenant out of there…most of our new clients tell us that they are unsure of where to start.

Tenants have many eviction rights in California. You need someone who can navigate the ever-changing eviction landscape. Ever since the Covid-19 years and more recently during the California Fires, tenants are being provided with more and more rights.

Issuing the correct eviction notices and filing the proper court documents is a critical part of the eviction process…making the process go as quick and smooth as possible.

At Los Angeles Paralegals, we will issue the proper eviction notice and City of Los Angeles Housing Department / HCIDLA (Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department) forms right away, so there is no delay in getting your eviction started. After serving your tenant with the above-mentioned notices, we take care of uploading the notices.

From there we prepare, file with the Los Angeles Court, serve your tenant with the Unlawful Detainer Complaint and supporting forms. Your tenant has between 5 to 10 days to file a response. Depending on the type of response, we can have your tenant evicted within 2 months from the Unlawful Detainer Complaint being served.

Let our Los Angeles Eviction Paralegals help you through this frustrating time. We will keep you updated with the progress and details of your case.

* Please note as of April 2026, Los Angeles County has doubled the minimum rent debt required before a landlord can pursue eviction for nonpayment — a landlord may not proceed with an eviction for nonpayment unless the tenant's total unpaid balance exceeds two months of fair market rent — up from the prior one-month threshold. Single-family homes are not exempt. Although they are excluded from the ordinance's rent control provisions, they remain subject to its just cause eviction provisions — and the new two-month threshold applies. Please ensure that you provide the correct eviction notices and file at the right time.

What will happen in your eviction case?

Unlike others, we provide automatic weekly updates of your case. Our eviction paralegals will ensure that you are updated with the details and progress of your case. We have been handling evictions for more than 15 years here in Los Angeles County and offer the most competitive pricing.

Our "One Price" Flat-Fee Pricing includes:

• Preparation of the Initial Eviction Notices and having it served by our California Registered Process Server
• Within 3 business days of serving your tenant, we will upload the Initial Eviction Notices and LAHD Cover Sheet online
• Preparation and Filing of Unlawful Detainer Case, then have it served to your tenant
• If the tenant presents an Answer to the court, we will ask for a trial date
• If the tenant does not present an Answer to the court, we will immediately record your default against the tenant

Unlawful Detainer Process Flowchart

How will your tenant respond?

More than 95 percent of tenants file an Answer. If they file an Answer, the next steps towards winning your eviction case happen rather quickly. Our "One-Price" Flat Fee Pricing guarantees just that.

However, in some instances, your tenant will delay the eviction case by filing responses or motions with the court. Your tenant may file a Demurrer, Motion to Quash Service of Summons, Bankruptcy, Motion to Stay and/or Motion to Transfer Venue. We can promptly respond to any of these motions.

What happens after you win your eviction case?

Once you win your eviction case, we will file the Judgment and Writ of Possession with the courthouse. Then, we will prepare the required Sheriff's Instructions and record it with the appropriate Sheriff's Office.

The Sheriff's Office takes about 2 weeks to post a Notice to Vacate. Once the Notice to Vacate is posted, it takes an additional week for the lockout to occur. There are additional court expenses for the Writ of Possession and having the Sheriff serve the Notice to Vacate, which includes the cost of accompanying the locksmith during the day of the lockout.

You started your eviction case and need help?

Let's say that you served your tenant with a Three-Day, Thirty-Day or Sixty-Day Notice and you don't know what to do next. Maybe you filed the eviction case (unlawful detainer), had it served and your tenant filed a motion to delay the eviction process. Many landlords also win their eviction case, but do not know how to proceed with the Sheriff and lockout process.

Whatever stage of the eviction process you may find yourself at – we can help you finalize your eviction and win.

Frequently Asked Questions

Divorce FAQs

Why choose a paralegal for your divorce?

There's no reason you can't receive the paralegal help you need — at a price you can afford. Most of our clients qualify for our payment plans where you can make installments towards our flat-fee pricing. With over 23 years of family law experience in Los Angeles County.

Most divorces in California are self-prepared meaning that most couples do not use an attorney to get divorced. Many hire legal document preparers or paralegals, like us. We can help you figure out all the divorce forms you will need, let you know when and where to file those forms and let you know how long the entire process will take.

Don't risk prolonging a divorce by trying to self-file. Divorce filing can be complicated and time consuming. One mistake on the paperwork can cause your divorce filing to be rejected. To avoid the errors of self-filing and high attorney fees, contact Los Angeles Paralegals for your affordable divorce, done right.

Do you help me with my divorce, from start to finish?

Whether you are going to start your divorce, trying to fix rejections from the court, or need to write up a Marital Settlement Agreement — you can count on our paralegals for a cheap and affordable way to handle your California divorce, especially in Los Angeles County. You can't afford to choose the wrong paralegal services, costing you more time, money and needless effort.

You will need help properly filling out all those blank judicial council court forms and assistance on how to properly serve your spouse. Getting your Marital Settlement Agreement approved by the Los Angeles Superior Court should be handled by a paralegal with 23 years of experience. We will guide you through your divorce, from start to finish.

I already have a pending divorce case, can you help me?

Filing for divorce in California can be difficult because of all the different rules and guidelines; however, it is easy to become overwhelmed with what you are supposed to fill in on those blank forms.

If you already started your divorce in Los Angeles County and your filing was rejected, we can fix those errors for a flat-fee price and get your divorce finalized.

Many couples going through an amicable divorce do it themselves or acquire free self-help services. California has many rules and guidelines — a complete Judgment Packet with a Marital Settlement Agreement has to be submitted properly, with the correct legal wording and by checking the right boxes on the many required judicial council forms.

At times, couples already know what they want from their divorce. They have already decided how to handle spousal support (alimony), child support, custody and the division of assets and debts. We can assist you with all this — we are the cheaper and more reliable alternative to other paralegals and online legal document preparation do-it-yourself services.

Need to adjust your child support in Los Angeles?

Our child support services paralegal team can help you file the necessary Motion (Request for Order) to increase or lower the current child support amount you are receiving in Los Angeles County. We will prepare the necessary forms, child support calculations (Dissomaster), income and expense documentation and file all of these with the court. Then, we will promptly request a court date and properly serve the other party.

If you received an order to pay child support (or wage garnishment) from your employer, Los Angeles Child Support Services, or the Court — we can help reduce or eliminate it. After 23 years of family law experience, we know exactly what to do to reduce your child support order in California — we handle most child support cases, whether it be a paternity or divorce matter.

You are not receiving enough child support to pay for your child's living expenses? If you know the other parent is earning more than they claim and you want to ask the court to increase your child support, we can help.

Child support determinations depend on California's Child Support Guidelines. Under California family law, both parents are in charge of giving suitable support to their children. If the other parent has stopped paying child support and you now have to go to court, we can help. It is always better to get a child support court order — don't be afraid to ask the court for help in getting what is owed to your child.

Need to establish or change child custody?

Many parents can't agree on a specific child custody and visitation schedule between themselves. This is when the court helps both parents decide on a parenting schedule that is in the best interest of the child. By getting the right legal document preparation for your physical and legal custody needs, your stress will be reduced and lead to more amicable co-parenting.

If you need help in starting a custody or parentage case in Los Angeles, our family law paralegals can help you by filing your Petition to Establish Parental Relationship in Los Angeles. Once paternity is established, you can file your Request for Order and request the court to establish a legal and binding custody schedule. We will handle requesting a mediation appointment and hearing date with the court — we also take care of serving the other parent. Keep in mind that you may also request child support once paternity is established — this is the first step towards getting any child support, child custody or visitation orders.

Maybe you already have a pending case and the current visitation schedule needs to be adjusted. We have handled over 2,500 family law cases in the past 23 years.

What is the difference between filing with a bankruptcy attorney versus a bankruptcy paralegal?

*(Legal Document Assistant, Bankruptcy Preparer, Chapter 7 Petition Preparer)

No Attorneys. No Lawyers. Here at Los Angeles Paralegals, we have successfully filed over 1,200 Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases in Los Angeles County under the jurisdiction of the United States Central District Bankruptcy Court. We use the same bankruptcy software licensed to bankruptcy attorneys and our "Express" Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing package only costs $200, plus court expenses.

We tell you upfront what to expect in your bankruptcy case, including how long it will take. It is important to know that you will not appear in court or in front of a judge.

Attorneys usually charge $1,500 plus court expenses for the exact same service.

Need to file your bankruptcy today? Emergency Filing?

Your wages about to be garnished?
If you recently received a Wage Garnishment notice from your employer or a Judgment from the courthouse, you may need to file for bankruptcy right away. Avoid having your paycheck and wages garnished. In California, a creditor is allowed to garnish up to 25 percent of your monthly income — for child support, up to 50 percent.

Have you received a Three-Day Notice to Pay Rent? Are you behind on your rent?
By filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy at the right time, you can extend your stay in the apartment or home you are renting. You are not cheating your landlord, but simply getting yourself more time to save money and find a new place to live.

Behind on your mortgage payments?
If you are even one month behind on your mortgage payment, contact us now for a Free Case Evaluation — buy yourself more time to get caught up. If you are several months behind and have a Foreclosure Sale or Notice of Trustee Sale coming up, we can help with same-day bankruptcy filing.
