Our staff are amazing at what they do. Their focus is always on the client. Every day is spent thinking about how we can make the client experience better and provide you with better results. Working with clients in legal matters should go beyond the legal part of how this life event impacts you. We are not counselors or life coaches, but we can provide you with resources beyond the legal result. There are practical aspects to consider in moving through this time in your life and emotional components on how it impacts you and your family. We will do all we can to help.
Legal Lifeguards focuses of three main objectives:
Help Those Who Can't Afford An Attorney
Educate and Protect Over and Above Current Legal Advice From Your Attorney
Make Sure, When Your Legal Case is Over, You Don't Leave Any Lose Ends That Will Negatively Impact Your Future
Although I am an attorney, I am not your attorney in that I will not be providing you with legal advice.
What I can do is help you understand the basics as you walk through your legal case, provide you with the practical advice you normally are not getting from your attorney, and minimize your hourly legal bills.
Legal Lifeguards founder, Carrie Sue Doxsee, is an attorney in Kansas City, Missouri, practicing for 25+ years. In her practice she found there to be two big problems: either people could not afford an attorney or, if they hired an attorney, they could not really afford (or want to) pay for ALL the advice they needed. Attorneys focus on what is needed to finish the case... not the emotional side of getting through a legal action or the practical "how to" side of the issues clients face. Clients want more (as long as they don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get it)! They DESERVE more!
The truth is, there are only a small amount of people who should DIY their legal issue. The good news is you can download our FREE eBooks to help you determine if you DIY is the direction for you. In many areas of law, you can also choose Limited Scope Representation. This allows you to pay only for what you need... like going to McDonald's and order the sandwich only and not the value meal. You might even be able to combine the DIY and Limited Scope to provide you with the results you need while avoiding paying thousands of dollars to an attorney. By reading our eBook, you will be confident what level of representation is right for you--- even if it is full legal representation.

Why Aren't the Forms Off the Internet Good Enough?
Your State: Most legal forms as State specific. If you don't use the right form, you will not obtain the results you want and may even create a huge mess that will require spending thousands of dollars to fix.
Filling Out Correctly: While you might find the right form and it may seem pretty easy to fill out, you may not truly knowing how to fill them out correctly. Making mistakes can be costly-- both financially and in your personal results.
Understanding the Consequences of Using the Form: This can be a hidden problem that you could not possibly know unless you have years of legal experience. An example might be that you can't find your spouse so you do your divorce by publication. There is only one problem... you have a house or a car titled in both names. Or, you did get your spouse served, the property was set aside to you, but you did not legally change the title. In either situation, now you are ready to sell and you can't. Maybe this is a probate situation. You prepared your Last Will and Testament and you had a house. You did not want it to go through probate, but you did not prepare the documents you need to automatically transfer the title at your death. So your goal of making life easy on your family after your death... well it did not turn out that way. Now they have a mess and are in probate court.
Not Right for You: The plain truth is that grabbing a form off the internet gives you NO confidence they are the right fit for you. You need more than just a form... you need the education to know if you are making the right choice, filling it out correctly, and if it meets you goals of using it.
