Public Legal Document Services
Cautela Corporation provides document preparation for the lay person and procedural guidance for individuals who wish to represent themselves. Some court proceedings require a hearing and other proceedings do not. A paralegal cannot attend a court hearing with clients who are representing themselves. Courts expect persons representing themselves to have a basic understanding of the legal process they are engaged in and that they will comply with statutory requirements. Procedural instruction and guidance is provided to familiarize an individual with a variety of court processes.
Cautela Corporation provides a wide range of paralegal services and is glad to provide attorney referrals. There are times when it is necessary and important to seek legal advice and legal representation. An attorney will analyze your position and advise you on available options, guiding you through an increasingly complex legal system. Additional resource information and local referrals for Pima County, Arizona, can be found here.

Cautela Corp did a terrific job preparing legal documents for my mother’s estate! Every document was accurate and perfect, down to the last digit and detail. Cautela provided me with comprehensive instructions that made it easy for me to complete my part of the documents and get them to the right people. Cautela, based on their extensive knowledge and experience with estates and probate, strategically structured written communications to get prompt cooperation from the financial institution and this saved me substantial time and money. The estate matter was closed successfully and under the estimated budget.

****** has been a huge blessing to me over the years. She has handled so much complicated legal paperwork with professionalism and complete competence. She explains things well to legal novices. She came highly recommended to me by my attorney and I gladly recommend her to others. I can’t give a high enough endorsement for Cautela Corporation.
