DeSoto County

The county seat for DeSoto County is Arcadia. It was named for Spanish explorer, Hernando DeSoto; and originally encompassed Hardee, Charlotte, Glades, and HIghlands counties.  On August 13, 2004, Hurricane Charley passed directly through DeSoto County. Hurricane force winds persisted for an hour, damaging most of the structures in the county and causing some to be completely destroyed.

Storefront Secretary, LLC

I'm not done yet! At the age of 72, I've decided to re-create a business from my youth, some 50 years ago. An empty storefront in a bustling shopping center, just 3 minutes from where I live, spoke to me. Seeing it took me back to the early 1970's when the original "Storefront Secretary" was created. Back then, I typed papers for my classmates and friends on one of those electric typewriters with those funny little balls with interchangeable fonts. From then until now, I've had a career as a National Board Certified Teacher, teaching primarily government and law in Sarasota County, have been a legal secretary, paralegal, legal researcher, and a community volunteer (Junior League member since 1977), most recently, a Guardian ad Litem -- once again being drawn to the law and to the courts. I attended University of Louisville School of Law for one year but dropped out after that first year as my daughters were 1 and 3 at the time. When it came to studying or taking them to the park, guess which choice won? Little wonder, however, that I've combined my legal experiences and my typing expertise to offer services as a legal document preparer. Following are "some" of the services I offer:

• Notary Public
• Wills and Revocable Trusts
• Divorces
• Child Custody
• Child Support Adjustments
• Alimony Adjustments
• Step-parent adoptions
• Paternity Determinations
• Name Changes
• Landlord/Tenant Paperwork
• Incorporations
• Misc. typing (letters, manuscripts, etc.)
• ...and more!

I have a beautiful "Wedding Wall" where I can officiate at your special occasion and a little table and chairs where visiting children can color while they wait for their caregivers to finish meeting with me. As a new business, I am hosting monthly FREE "Second Saturday Seminars" on a host of topics so people can get to know me, my business and better understand the law I'm teaching them. Located at 4949 E. State Road 64, Bradenton, FL 34208, I'm just about two miles west of I-75. You may reach me by phone: 941-405-4067 or email: storefrontsecretary2020@gmail.com or check out my webpage: storefrontsecretary.com (admittedly, a work in progress). My turn-around time is less than 5 business days and my prices are middle-of-the-road. I'm open Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5pm and open Sundays, Mondays and evenings, by appointment.

I sincerely look forward to meeting you and to preparing the legal documents you need at this time in your life. Even if you don't need anything right now, please stop in, say hi, look around, and pick up a business card. I'm not going anywhere soon!

Virtual Providers

Some of our member document preparers have identified themselves as virtual providers. This means that their business model allows them to serve consumers online and over the phone, offering document preparation services throughout the state. Specific services will vary, please read their listings carefully and contact the member who lists the services that you need. Please make an informed decision when choosing a legal document preparer.

Virtual services apply to the entire state except for family law documents in Miami-Dade. Many consumers seek assistance with family law documents and many document preparers offer that service. However, Miami-Dade requires pro se litigants to use local family law forms that must be purchased directly from the clerk of court. It is a difficult and cumbersome process to virtually assist consumers in Miami-Dade; and for that reason we exclude that county from virtual services. If you need family law document preparation assistance for Miami-Dade, please contact a member who is local to that area.
