Eviction Paralegal in Fresno, CA
Document Preparation at Your Direction
Navigating an eviction is never easy, whether you’re a landlord protecting your property or a tenant trying to understand your rights. At Attorney Alternative, as eviction paralegals in Fresno, CA, we provide professional, cost-effective eviction document prep helping clients manage the legal paperwork involved in the eviction process. We are not attorneys and do not offer legal advice or representation. However, as a licensed Legal Document Assistant (LDA) and Unlawful Detainer Assistant (UDA), we prepare accurate, court-compliant documents based on your direction — saving you time, stress, and unnecessary legal fees.
With over 17 years of hands-on experience, we’ve helped complete thousands of eviction-related filings across California. We’re proud to serve landlords, property managers, and tenants throughout Fresno County with reliable, self-help paralegal services at affordable prices.
What We Do — and Don’t Do
To be clear: we are not an attorney. We cannot advise you on how to proceed legally, nor can we represent you in court. However, we’re a licensed and bonded LDA/UDA registered in Fresno County. That means we’re legally authorized to assist you with preparing and filing legal documents related to evictions, all at your direction. Our job is to help you complete the paperwork accurately, according to Fresno Superior Court standards, so that your case moves forward as smoothly as possible.
If you’re handling an eviction yourself, I can help you by:
- Preparing and serving notices
- Drafting unlawful detainer complaints
- Assembling response forms
- Organizing court filings and documentation
- Assisting with sheriff’s instructions (if applicable)
Whether you’re a landlord initiating the process or a tenant responding to an eviction notice, we’re here to help ensure the documents you need are filed correctly and on time.
Eviction Document Preparation for Landlords
As a landlord, starting the eviction process can feel overwhelming — especially with the evolving laws and protections that have taken effect in California over the last few years. Since 2019, and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, tenant protections have become more complex. Filing incorrectly can result in serious delays and even case dismissal.
That’s where our experience comes in. I’ve worked exclusively in eviction documentation for over four years, completing nearly 5,000 verified evictions. We know the rules, timelines, and formatting requirements specific to Fresno Superior Court. From the first notice to the final instructions to the sheriff, we provide comprehensive, timely document preparation at your direction.
Our landlord-focused services include:
- 3-Day, 30-Day, 60-Day, or 90-Day Notices
- Notice of Non-Payment or Breach of Lease
- Unlawful Detainer Complaints
- Default Judgment Forms
- Writs of Possession
- Sheriff Instructions for Lockout
Avoid costly errors and delays — let’s work together to ensure your case proceeds smoothly.
Support for Tenants Responding to Eviction
Eviction notices can be intimidating, but tenants also have rights — and deadlines. If you’ve received a notice or unlawful detainer complaint, it’s critical that your response is timely and properly formatted. Luckily, we work with tenants throughout Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Selma, and beyond to help complete their legal documents at their direction, so they can be heard in court and protect their rights.
- Preparing Answers to Unlawful Detainer Complaints
- Response forms and declarations
- Requests for Trial
- Fee Waiver Requests
- Extensions and Stays of Eviction (when applicable)
You remain in control of your case, and we help ensure your paperwork reflects your instructions accurately.
The Unlawful Detainer Process
Evictions in California follow a legal process that must be carefully followed to avoid delays or legal setbacks. While every case is different, the general process involves:
- Issuing a Notice – The landlord serves a formal notice to the tenant, which could be a 3-day notice to pay rent or quit, a 30-day or 60-day notice to vacate, or another legally valid notice.
- Filing the Unlawful Detainer – If the tenant doesn’t comply, the landlord files a complaint (unlawful detainer) with the court.
- Court Hearing – If the tenant responds, the case may go to trial. If they don’t respond, the landlord can request a default judgment.
- Judgment and Enforcement – If the court sides with the landlord, the sheriff can be instructed to physically remove the tenant.
We specialize in preparing eviction document prep in Fresno, CA that follows this structure, ensuring every step meets state and local requirements.
