Our AdvantageThe Ochoa Law Group is not just a document preparation web site. We are an Illinois law firm offering online limited legal services to Illinois residents.
We are different from a typical law firm because:We are virtual. We communicate with you over the Internet by e-mail and also by telephone. You do not have to take time away from work to come to our office. By providing our services "virtually," we are able to keep our fees low and make it convenient for you. You have the ability to send us an e-mail or complete our online questionnaires at a time that is convenient for YOU. We do not impose a costly retainer agreement or up-front fees. You buy only the legal services that you need — at a fixed price per task. You know what you will pay. No hourly rates or hidden charges — just a simple fixed and reasonable fee. We do not have fancy offices. We are a virtual law firm and provide our services via the Internet. We do not maintain expensive, physical offices. We conduct our business by e-mail and via the Internet; therefore, personal meetings are generally not needed. This gives us the ability to pass those savings on to our clients. We enable you to do business with our firm on-line. You complete an online questionnaire which provides us with the information we need to create your documents.
We guide you through the process of representing yourself.We support the self-help concept in certain legal matters. Self-help, also known as "pro-se" representation, is the process of filing your own documents and representing yourself in court. This is a very effective method of saving on legal fees because you do part of the work yourself. Our role is to prepare your documents for you, give you the legal advice you need and prepare you to represent yourself so you can avoid complications and errors.We are different from a legal forms site because:We offer legal advice. If you go to a non-lawyer document preparation service, you will not receive advice and guidance from a licensed attorney. Lawyers must keep any communications with clients confidential and are required to avoid any conflicts of interest. We use the SSL protocol which is the most secure method of transmitting information over the Internet. You can be assured that our services are trustworthy, private and secure. Attorneys must comply with all of the Professional Rules that apply to members of the Illinois Bar. The services that we provide are regulated by the Illinois Bar. A legal forms Web site offered by a non-law firm is not regulated the same way. If there is a problem, you may have no recourse.
