Who we are
RightForm LDA (rightformlda.com) is a registered Legal Document Assistant practice led by Ben Valdez, Legal Document Assistant. We prepare legal documents as a self-help service based on the information and instructions you provide.
Ben’s path to this work includes undergraduate study at California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB), graduate work at UCLA, and a Paralegal Certification from the ABA UCLA Paralegal Studies program. He is registered as LDA #234 in Kern County (valid through 12/01/27).
Who we help
We help people in the Bakersfield / Kern County area — and remote clients — who already know what self-help documents they want prepared and can direct that work. Common packets include uncontested divorce and family forms, living trusts, name-change petitions, and related court or estate paperwork.
If you need legal advice, strategy, or someone to appear for you in court, that is attorney work — we will say so plainly and point you toward counsel when an LDA is not the right fit.
How we work
We have a downtown office in Bakersfield, but RightForm works primarily virtually — by phone, text, email, and document exchange. Keeping overhead low that way helps keep costs lower for clients. We do not list a public walk-in address on this site.
- You tell us what you want prepared
- We prepare the documents at your direction
- You review everything before signing or filing
Prep pricing starts at a competitive rate; we confirm a tiered quote on a free consult. Court, recording, and publication fees are separate. See fees & pricing for how quotes work — we do not publish a locked public fee table.
Important notice
I am not an attorney. I can only provide self help services at your specific direction. RightForm LDA (#234) does not provide legal advice, representation, or strategy. We prepare documents based on the information and instructions you provide. You review all documents before signing or filing.
