How Write Legal Works With You
You decide what goes into every document, and we prepare it. Each service starts with a plain explanation of the work and fees, and ends with your review of the finished pages before anything is filed. Tyler Brewer is a registered legal document assistant, not an attorney.

The Family Law Facilitator in Santa Maria is not your attorney, and the court says your conversation with it is not private or confidential. It does not help with appeals, guardianship or adoption cases, or restraining order applications. We prepare paperwork you direct and give no legal advice.
The court's Legal Resource Center, run by the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County, has a Santa Maria site at the law library on East Cook Street. It helps with small claims, unlawful detainer, guardianship, adoption, name change, and expungement.
The court's list of newspapers for legal notices names the Santa Maria Times and the Santa Maria Advertiser for the city. Confirm the paper with the court before you publish.
The Sheriff's Civil Unit has a Santa Maria office at 312-O East Cook Street and handles civil papers in the area. It serves temporary restraining orders, summonses, and evictions, but cannot give legal advice or look up addresses. The sheriff serves domestic violence papers for free.
