Make a Complaint Against a Legal Document Preparer

This page contains a list of the enforcement agencies who may assist consumers in resolving complaints regarding non-compliant legal document preparers. Investigation by any of these authorities does not guarantee restitution to complainants. If your primary interest is to gain restitution, you should pursue the matter in small claims court or consult with an attorney.
