I contacted the office many times to finally get a response of what I thought was initiating the process of getting help, but I was left hanging once again, office unresponsive to my calls, voicemails, text messages and emails. I had originally got to the step where I was asked to proceed to fill out paper work that was sent to me in order to move forward but no one ever got back to me. I understand times of the year can be busy, but it would have been nice to know they are unable to take on more clients or cases verses setting me up to wait months with help.

Update: I received…read moreMarizen's private message and her request to edit or remove my review--this request was notably left off her public comment as noted in the screenshot attached. Since the 2 stars (which equates to the "[service] could've been better") were due to the unprofessionalism and inattentiveness shown (not due to her being an LDA), I have no reason to change my rating or delete my review. TL;DR: Marizen is NOT a lawyer. She is a Legal Document Assistant that cannot provide you with legal advice. She is a significantly affordable option for a Living Trust but she is unprofessional and has poor attention to detail-- key characteristics that are paramount to detailing an important document. Details: I left a Living Trust inquiry via her site and Marizen emailed me back within 1 day to "text" her back for a scheduled over-the-phone consult. Upon speaking with Marizen it was clear she did not take the time to review the few questions I had sent her in my initial inquiry as she was confused as to what the consult would primarily be regarding. Her rates were significantly less than what other competing services were offering which raised an orange flag for me. Upon further research, I realized Marizen was NOT a lawyer, but rather a "Legal Document Assistant (LDA)." According to the CA Attorney General, LDAs cannot give legal advice. This was my first encounter with an LDA, which allowed me the opportunity to do the necessary research to make a more educated investment. Had Marizen gotten back to me with the necessary next steps and questionnaire as she had promised (it's been over 1.5 weeks), I may have considered her as a possible option to complete my Living Trust needs. But if you are looking for a more affordable option, perhaps Marizen is a good fit for you.

David is very bright, fair, calm, competent, good at communication and patient. He has been very honest upfront about the role as a mediator to be representative for two parties and his expectations of clients to minimize the emotional stress during the meeting, which is fair and understandable as this is a legal work and we should be respectful. During the process, we had issues about child custody and needed to work with a therapist first before continuing our sessions with David. He waited for us patiently and never pushed us. I highly recommend David, if you absolutely have to go through divorce.
