A familiar name in California document preparation.
By The People is built around a simple idea: Californians should have access to professional, clearly described document preparation services without confusing office roles or pricing.
Local offices for self-represented Californians.
The By The People network is centered in California and future growth is intended for independently operated California Legal Document Assistant offices. Each LDA location is responsible for maintaining its own county registration, bond and compliance. Arroyo Grande offers Legal Document Assistant self-help services performed by the Ridgecrest office, with optional supervising-attorney paralegal services available as a separate alternative. By The People Inc is not a law firm and does not partner with attorneys or law firms. The existing WE THE PEOPLE office in Fort Myers remains the single current location outside California and has its own Florida-specific page.
