Los Angeles Self-Representing Divorce Lawyers

Family law services

Are you in agreement with your spouse on how you want to divide your assets and share custody of your children? Do you want to do you own divorce but don’t know how? Is your divorce already behind you but you and your ex spouse agree that a current order needs to be changed? Self-representation with the guidance of an attorney may make the most sense as it can save the time, money and frustration of doing it on your own.

Committed to keeping divorce expenses low

Not everyone needs to be represented by an attorney. You and your spouse may understand and know your rights in a divorce and can work out the details on your own. Some of the problems you may face in attempting to do your own divorce are figuring out what documents to file, when to file them, and everything that is required to get your divorce finalized. At Hammers & Baltazar Family Law, our lawyers help people who would like to minimize the expense of a divorce or modification of an order and need help with the paperwork. We offer self represented or pro per divorce legal services for clients who wish to represent themselves without an attorney. This approach reduces your expenses yet ensures that your divorce is executed properly according to California law. We are committed to working with all clients to keep their legal costs low. This is just one of the ways we accomplish this.

Professional legal assistance without the high fees

Pro per divorce legal services for self-representing couples provides assistance with document preparation without the cost of representation by an attorney. By hiring us for your self-represented divorce, you will not need to worry about the steps you must take — we will walk you through the process. You will have the assurance that your proceedings will be completed correctly.

Peace of mind for the right couples

Self-representing legal support gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your paperwork is being overseen by a knowledgeable lawyer with years of experience in divorce and family law. Our experience has shown us that pro per divorce works best for couples who have similar levels of income and possess a similar degree of understanding about their rights in a divorce. If this describes you and your spouse, pro per divorce may be the right approach for you.

What you can expect

When you work with Hammers & Baltazar Family Law to assist you in representing yourself you can expect that each document will be prepared expertly, accurately, and completely the first time, and all requirements to complete your matter will be carried out with professionalism.
