One-Stop Civil Legal Help in San Jose
When people face legal issues—especially civil matters—they often feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. From filing lawsuits to answering civil summons or preparing court forms, the process can be confusing and expensive. For many residents in San Jose and throughout Santa Clara County, the high cost of hiring an attorney makes even simple legal issues seem impossible to address.
That’s where Fingerscan Digital Inc. and our trusted legal document partner, TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services LLC, come in.
We’ve partnered with TrustPoint to bring our clients a one-stop solution for many civil legal matters—without the high cost of an attorney. TrustPoint is a bonded Legal Document Assistant (LDA) firm in Santa Clara County, offering professional, affordable document preparation services for clients who want to represent themselves (also known as acting “in pro per”).
Why Many People Can’t Find Attorneys for Civil Cases
It’s a common story: a client has a real legal problem, but no attorney will take the case. Why?
- Most attorneys prioritize large, complex, or high-value cases.
- Simple legal tasks, such as small claims, civil complaints, or document filings, are not profitable enough for many law firms.
- Many attorneys charge hourly rates of $500–$700+, making it unaffordable for most people.
If you’ve called law offices and keep hearing “Sorry, we can’t take that case,” you’re not alone.
Legal Document Assistants (LDA): The Affordable Alternative
A Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is a licensed and bonded professional who is authorized by California law to prepare legal documents at your direction. While LDAs cannot offer legal advice or represent you in court, they can prepare almost all the same documents that an attorney would charge you thousands for.
LDAs are perfect for:
- People representing themselves in court (pro per or pro se)
- Clients needing court-approved legal paperwork
- Those who want flat-rate, transparent pricing
- Spanish-speaking and Vietnamese-speaking clients needing multilingual support

As one of San Jose’s top fingerprinting, legal support, and identity services providers, Fingerscan Digital sees clients every day who are dealing with legal issues, background checks, government filings, or court processes.

Real-Life Examples: How TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services LLC Helps Civil Clients
Civil Complaint Response (Answer to Lawsuit)
Maria received a civil summons but couldn’t afford a lawyer. She was going to ignore it, until she came to us for fingerprinting and asked for help. We referred her to TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services LLC, who helped her file an official Answer (using Judicial Council forms like PLD-C-010) for a flat fee—protecting her from default judgment.
Record Expungement
Carlos had an old misdemeanor that was hurting his job prospects. TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services LLC helped him prepare and file a Petition for Dismissal under Penal Code § 1203.4, getting his life back on track.
Unlawful Detainer (Eviction)
An elderly landlord needed help removing a non-paying tenant. TrustPoint prepared all the required eviction documents—3-day notice, UD-100, Civil Case Cover Sheet—and helped serve them properly. No attorney needed.
