Apostilles and certified translations
Documents that need to be used in another country: birth and marriage certificates, powers of attorney, diplomas, corporate papers. I prepare and process them, and I tell you what the destination country actually asks for before we start.
What I need from you

- The country where it will be used
- Whether they asked for a translation as well
- Your deadline

Starting a divorce in California
As a registered Legal Document Assistant I prepare and fill out your divorce forms with the information you give me. I don't represent you and I don't give legal advice.
What I need from you
- Full names of both parties
- Date and place of marriage
- Date of separation
- Whether there are minor children
- Whether there are shared assets or debts

How long it takes
A family member was detained
When someone is detained, the family usually needs documents signed and notarized fast: a power of attorney so another person can act, a temporary guardianship letter for the children, an authorization to move an account or a vehicle.
Send me three things
- Full name of the person detained
- Where they are, if you know
- Who will be signing the documents
What it costs
How fast
I'm not sure what I need
That's fine. Tell me what someone asked you for and what it's for, in your own words. I'll tell you whether it's something I can do, what it costs and what to bring. If it isn't, I'll say so.
This is enough to start
- The letter, email or message asking you for the document
- A photo works
- When you need it by

What I can do and what I can't
Plenty of people in this business promise more than they can deliver. I'd rather tell you where my job ends before you pay me anything.
What I do
- Prepare and fill out your documents with the information you give me
- Handle apostilles and certified translations
- Verify your identity and witness your signature as a Notary Public
- Tell you what to bring before the appointment
- Explain in English or Spanish what each box on the form is asking
- Travel to your home, office, hospital or facility within my service area
- Tell you plainly when something won't work
What I can't do
- Give you legal advice, even if you ask for it
- Tell you which form to file or what strategy to take
- Represent you before a court or a government agency
- Promise you an approval, an outcome or a processing time
- Call myself a "notario": California law prohibits it, and for good reason
- Notarize a document you already signed without me
The state decides what a signature costs
Fifteen dollars per notarized signature in 2026. If someone charges you more per signature, they are overcharging. When the service is mobile, travel is billed separately and I tell you the amount before we book, never after.

Gabby Lucero
Registered California Legal Document Assistant and California Notary Public. I work in English and Spanish, by appointment only, out of my Hesperia office and also in Van Nuys, across Southern California: Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County.
Over the years I have seen how legal and administrative paperwork can feel complicated, intimidating and overwhelming. That is why I built a practice where you can get professional help preparing your documents and still feel comfortable, heard and treated with patience and respect. If the paperwork doesn't hold up, or if you need an attorney, I'll tell you before charging you anything.
Every signature, done the way it should be.

Service area
Serving Southern California — Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County. Offices in Hesperia and Van Nuys.
Mobile service runs out of Hesperia. If you're outside the radius, ask anyway: I'll tell you whether I can get there and what the travel adds before we book.
What people ask me most
How much does it cost to notarize a document in California?
The state caps it at $15 per notarized signature. If the service is mobile, travel is billed separately and I tell you the amount before we book. Anyone charging more than $15 per signature is overcharging you.
What ID do I need to bring?
A current photo ID issued by a government: California driver's license, passport, consular ID or resident card. The name has to match the one on the document you're signing.
Can you help me fill out my forms?
Yes. As a registered Legal Document Assistant I prepare and fill out your forms with the information you give me. What I can't do is tell you which form to file or what strategy to take: that's legal advice, and for that you need an attorney.
Can you notarize a document I already signed?
No. The signature has to happen in front of me. If the document is already signed, there are ways around it depending on the type; message me and I'll tell you which one applies.
What are your business hours?
Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you need something outside those hours, message me and I'll tell you what this week actually looks like.
Have paperwork due this week?
Tell me what you need and I'll tell you whether I can do it, what to bring and what it costs.
