The Legal System Wasn’t Built for Everyone—But TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services Is
By TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services LLC
Serving San Jose, Santa Clara County, and beyond
Introduction: When Justice Feels Out of Reach
Navigating the legal system is hard. Doing it alone—without a lawyer, without legal training, without money—can feel impossible.
If you’ve ever tried to file for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), respond to a civil lawsuit, transfer property, or request Social Security Disability benefits, you already know this truth:
The legal system wasn’t built for people like us. It was built by professionals, for professionals.
At TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services LLC, we’re changing that. We believe every person—regardless of income, education, immigration status, or language—deserves access to clear, affordable, and compassionate legal document preparation.
This is your guide to how we make justice accessible again.
Chapter 1: The Problem No One Talks About
Millions of Californians face life-changing legal events every year:
-
A disability prevents them from working
-
A landlord serves a 3-day eviction notice
-
A parent passes away without a will
-
A civil complaint lands in the mail
-
A child needs guardianship due to illness or incarceration
But the court system is complicated, slow, and unforgiving—especially for those who don’t have thousands to pay an attorney.
Even legal aid nonprofits can’t handle the volume.
People fall through the cracks. They get denied IHSS. Evicted. Lose custody. Lose their inheritance. All because they didn’t file a form the “right way.”
And it’s not their fault.
Chapter 2: Enter the Legal Document Assistant (LDA)
A Legal Document Assistant (LDA) is a California-registered professional who prepares legal documents at your direction—legally, affordably, and ethically.
Unlike attorneys, we don’t give legal advice. But we:
-
Help you understand what forms you need
-
Prepare the documents correctly
-
Ensure compliance with court requirements
-
File or eFile on your behalf (where available)
-
Translate legalese into everyday English (or Spanish, or Vietnamese)
LDAs are the secret weapon behind thousands of successful cases that didn’t require a lawyer.
Chapter 3: Our Clients Are Fighters, Not Cases
At TrustPoint, we don’t see “cases.” We see parents fighting to keep their children. Seniors trying to protect their homes. Disabled adults trying to get the care they need.
Our typical clients are:
-
Seniors needing to create a living trust or power of attorney
-
Low-income workers applying for IHSS or disability benefits
-
Tenants facing unlawful detainer lawsuits
-
Mothers fighting to regain custody
-
Small business owners who need LLC formation help
They’re smart. They’re resilient. They just need a professional to help them file the right papers, the right way.

Chapter 5: Real People, Real Impact
Let’s talk about Maria: A 59-year-old caregiver from East San Jose, Maria was denied IHSS after filling out her application incorrectly. She came to TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services confused, overwhelmed, and worried she might lose her home.
We:
-
Reviewed her denial
