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!

Bringing Up a Postnuptial Agreement to Your Spouse: What are the Benefits?

A postnuptial agreement is an agreement made between a married couple, either before or after the marriage, to structure their financial affairs and assets. It is similar to a prenuptial agreement but is drafted after the marriage has taken place. Postnuptial agreements may outline who owns what assets and how those assets should be split in the event of death or divorce, as well as guidelines for debt management and how income earned during the marriage will be divided. The document may also include provisions for spousal support if a divorce occurs.
