Paralegal by Definition

We provide professional document preparation and procedural guidance for individuals navigating legal matters on their own. We specialize in divorce, allocation of parental rights, guardianship, small estates, letters of demand, and more. We are not attorneys and do not give legal advice.

No. Franklin Paralegal Services is not a law firm and cannot provide legal advice, represent you in court, or interpret the law. We prepare legal documents and help you understand procedural steps so you can represent yourself with confidence.

We offer a consultation to assess your needs and determine the appropriate service. If your matter falls outside our scope, we’ll let you know upfront. Our fee is $85 and that fee goes towards your service fee.

Yes — but only those whose mission aligns with our own: supporting individuals who are representing themselves. If your organization helps community members access affordable legal resources, we may be able to partner with you.

Standard turnaround time is 3–5 business days after we receive your completed intake and payment. Rush services are available for an additional fee.

Yes, we offer payment plans. However, full payment is required before document preparation begins.

Once your form is received, we review your information and prepare to begin drafting your documents. You will receive an agreement to sign and a secure invoice. After payment is made, your documents will be prepared and sent to you for review, via a secure email exchange along with filing instructions.

No, we do not file documents on your behalf unless explicitly stated. However, we provide step-by-step filing instructions and unlimited email support to help you through the process.

Two rounds of revisions are included with your service, as long as they are requested within 7 business days of receiving your documents. Additional revisions are available for a fee.

All sales are final. Due to the custom nature of our work, we do not offer refunds once document preparation has begun.
