Document Preparers vs. Attorneys in Florida

Attorney Addressing the Court

If you live in Florida and need help with legal paperwork, you may be wondering: Do I need an attorney, or can I use a document preparer? The answer depends on your situation. Attorneys provide full legal representation and advice, while document preparers in Florida focus on completing paperwork efficiently and affordably.

At PennySmart Group, we believe everyone should start with an attorney consultation. If your attorney confirms your case is simple, then a document preparer can be the most cost-effective option.

Attorneys vs. Florida Document Preparers: Key Differences

• Attorneys in Florida can give legal advice, represent you in court, and handle complex cases.

• Florida document preparers cannot provide legal advice or represent you in court. Their role is limited to preparing accurate legal forms under your direction.

This is why attorneys and document preparers complement each other rather than replace one another.

Benefits of Using a Document Preparer in Florida

For straightforward cases, a Florida document preparer can help you:

• Save money: Affordable services compared to attorney fees.

• Save time: Experienced preparers complete paperwork quickly.

• Ensure accuracy: Forms are prepared correctly and meet Florida requirements.

• Improve accessibility: Bilingual support makes legal paperwork easier for English and Spanish speakers.

When You Still Need an Attorney

Even with affordable document preparers, some cases require an attorney:

• Court hearings, disputes, or negotiations.

• Complex family law or business matters.

• When legal rights, property, or immigration status are at risk.

Always consult with an attorney first — then decide if document preparation services are right for you.
