Legal Paraprofessional Solutions

your affordable alternative offering the same quality service and experience as a family law attorney.

WELCOME TO DE NOVO LAW

The words De Novo is Latin meaning “from the new,” or “as if from the first time.” We chose this name because, for the first time ever, the Arizona Supreme Court has allowed non-lawyers to obtain a license by the Arizona State Bar to practice law in certain areas.

This newly formed classification is known as a licensed Legal Paraprofessional, or LP for short. Mrs. Stephanie Villalobos is Arizona’s VERY FIRST licensed Legal Paraprofessional! This incredible accomplishment allows De Novo Law, LLC to have roles in legal practice similar to the roles performed by nurse practitioners in medicine. LPs can offer full legal services in administrative, criminal, civil, and family law matters with very few restrictions. Ms. Villalobos currently practices solely in the area of family law.

Much like an Arizona family law attorney or divorce lawyer, a legal paraprofessional can handle, and fully represent, clients in almost all of the same family law practice areas. The significant difference is that an LP can be much more affordable!

Child Relocation Cases: How Arizona Courts Handle Them

Child relocation disputes are among the most sensitive and complex issues in Arizona child custody matters. When a parent wishes to move out of state or relocate more than 100 miles from their current home, the Arizona family court must carefully weigh the rights of both parents and, most importantly, the best interests of the child. Whether you are a custodial parent seeking to relocate with the child or a non-custodial parent contesting the move, having the right legal representation is crucial. At De Novo Law, we specialize in child custody cases, offering accessible and expert legal services through Arizona’s first Licensed Legal Paraprofessional (LP), Stephanie Villalobos.
