What does Curbside Legal do?
We are a California legal document preparation service. We prepare court-ready paperwork — petitions, motions, declarations, filing packets, demand letters, deeds, trusts, and more — at a fraction of attorney cost.
Are you a law firm? Are you attorneys?
No. Curbside Legal is a legal document preparation service, not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice or represent you in court. We prepare your documents accurately and in proper court-ready order. For legal advice, consult a licensed attorney.
What areas do you handle?
Unlawful detainer (eviction), family law and divorce, restraining orders, small claims, civil litigation, consumer protection, wills and living trusts, probate, guardianship, bankruptcy, demand letters, business formation (LLC), real estate deeds, and tax preparation.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the service — for example, uncontested divorce from $995, full eviction package from $1,100, small claims filing from $550, living trust from $1,250. We also offer downloadable DIY packets from $95. See our Services & Pricing page for the full menu.
