Last year I looked on yelp for a paralegal for a divorce that I was going through toxic divorce. Did not want to spend a lot of money on a lawyer so I decided to go through a paralegal.. "I recently visited this notary public for assistance with divorce paperwork. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The fees seemed excessive, and the notary failed to complete the job as promised. To make matters worse, they refused to refund my money. I would caution others to carefully review the services and fees before committing. Maybe it's worth exploring other options." caution stay away from this paralegal.!!! read more

First time going through a divorce and felt very lost on where to start. I searched on Yelp and came across Above The Rest Document. Working with Margo was very seamless. She guided from the very beginning to the very end. I knew I was in good hands and the filing came faster than I thought. I am very pleased to have worked with her and I would definitely recommend anyone needing any guidance while going through a stressful situation like divorce.

I cannot recommend Margo enough! She was recommended to me knowing my divorce was straightforward. She explained the process and timing, making a not-so-fun situation simple.

I couldn't have asked for a better advocate than Margot. She guided me through my divorce with expertise, compassion, and clear communication. Everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I'm so grateful for her support during this process. read more

Im updating my review about Margo the business owner and this is a direct response to her comment on my review. Margo, I paid you personally to prepare paperwork for me as a response to a court filing and when I showed up for my hearing I was told by the judge that the paperwork was incorrect and because of this I had a judgment made against me. Regardless of what you say here including making up blatant lies about you not being the correct person you were directly paid to prepare paperwork for my case and it was done incorrectly and because of this I paid a heavy price by losing my case and getting a judgment! This is absolutely the facts here! Nothing less nothing more. I know you don't want this review up because it's not good for business but this is a real legitimate honest review about my experience using you for your services. People should know what happened to me so they don't get blindsided the way I was in court. I looked like a fool in front of the judge because of you and to make matters worse you're lying about even providing the service now instead of apologizing and going about this with honesty and integrity. Sad! read more

Very professional and informative. All my paperwork was completed and filed on time and communication was on point. She informed me when documents were completed, filed, and received. Also, followed up after court dates. I would use her services again. read more

I worked with Margo for a family law matter and she helped me through every step of the process as well as gave me very clear directions on how to fill out paperwork. She made it easy read more

Very happy with the quality and promptness of Above The Rest Documents. Professional, courteous, and competitive pricing.

I found Margo after another paralegal I went to dropped the ball on my divorce. It was simple and no strings attached and should have been finalized in less than a year. I didn't hear anything for months and reached out so many times after I noticed it was not final. The place ghosted me and disappeared without answers. I didn't know what to do after over a year and finally I went to Yelp for help and Margo took the initiative to look up my court file and reached out to me. She explained the errors from the previous paralegal. After corrections and signatures my divorce was final in less than a month. Crazy. Thank you for helping us. read more

After doing a lot of research and calling multiple places to try and file for a Divorce, Margo was the only one who answered her phone. I spent weeks waiting for others to call back, but Margo was very efficient. She also assisted a family member with creating a living will. Thank you, Margo, for making this time an easy transition. read more

Margo is quick, professional and efficient. She keeps you in the loop through the entire process and is very clear on what ahead needs from you. I would recommend her to anyone. A nerve wracking process was made smoother because of her. read more

Margo has been amazing with my child support situation for many years now. She's always provided swift, fair, and successful outcomes for me and my family. Though child support has been my responsibility, she has always ensured I was treated fairly by the court. Margo has always played an integral role for me, and I can happily report that she once again helped my child support obligation, and it is now rightfully complete. I hope I never need anything again but, if I did need help in the future, I'd turn to Margo in a half of heartbeat. read more

Above the rest is the best document service, what sets then apart Is the willingness to go over and beyond to help you with your case. They are friendly and competent in their work and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of such services. read more

I requested divorce services about a year ago. I had no money for an attorney and couldn't afford one. I knew I needed help filling out the extensive paperwork. Above the Rest, did not disappoint. The communication each step of the process was always ongoing. I even encountered a few challenges along the way. Through those challenges however it all worked out. The price was reasonable for the services. It was worth it. read more

Initially sent email after working hours on Saturday. Surprised to receive answer and had short dialogue. I'm old and not familiar with most forms of new communication. They worked with me to get the required information for document preparation. Documents were emailed to me at unbelievable speed as predicted in our initial emails. Best part is all required documents were provided and processed by SB County Court without any difficulties. Great experience for a difficult situation. read more

I have worked with Margo over the years and she recently helped me with my child custody case. Margo is efficient, professional, responds quickly and takes the time to explain things.

Margo definitely met all my expectations to what a real paralegal should be.

Margo is the best! Very knowledgeable on document preparation and very accommodating (worked with my schedule and returned texts right away) Never thought I'd be getting a divorce after 21 years of marriage, Margo helped me through the process and made something horrible manageable. You save so much money this way and the process (if you agree) was the easiest possible way to obtain a divorce. Highly recommend her! read more

I needed a promissory note drawn up and a deed transfer documents to be prepared......Margo took care of everything perfectly and professionally!!!! AAAA++++++ read more

I strongly recommend Above The Rest Document Svs. Margo Ann Dowd was my saving grace. I moved back to Texas. My ex filed for divorce thru California Family Law. I was having a hard time trying to figure out how to fill out paperwork on my own. It was overwhelming. I did a Google search and found Margo. I called and we talked. I gave her my story. Margo helped me out big time. I went from paying $900 to $265 for final judgement of spousal support and my military retirement. Very professional and friendly staff. So Margo thank you again for the 5 star service. God Bless you for many years to come and may you have a successful business. Best Regards A. Corona read more

My Ex and I been searching for ways to file for and complete an uncontested/ friendly divorce, for a long time. After seeing the potential ramping up of hostilities and expense of divorce attorneys, we agreed on going through a Paralegal/ Mediator. We found Margo on Yelp and set up an appointment with her. After our first meeting I felt she was very knowledgeable, professional and personable. I immediately felt comfortable that Margo was going to easily lead us through something that is normally a very stressful and frustrating time. I highly recommend Margo for divorce situations such as ours. Plus, the fact that it cost us a small fraction of what attorney fees would be, to accomplish the same result. Thanks Margo ; ) read more

Margo did an awesome job and made it painless for us! I would recommend her for anyone looking for her services.

I called to get aswers, for child support. We have a date for set hearing. I appreciate the honesty. She answered all my questions politely and i dint feel rushed. Very thorough. Thank you so much. read more

The name of her business speaks volumes. She IS and, in my opinion, always will be Above the Rest! Margo helped my family matter so swiftly that I sit here today speechless at how fast yet extremely cautious, efficient, factual, over the top (in a great way) and informative she was the entire time. Margo responded immediately when I called her. She didn't leave me hanging for days worrying like others have. When working with Margo, know that she'll always call you back right away to explain who, what, when, where, why to all the weird stuff that comes up along the way of these family matters. There's something about having an actual conversation in today's world with the actual person handling your case that makes all the difference in the world. You don't get this kind of service with the big law firms that suck you dry of money and never call you back. Margo won't have you wondering or worrying. She gave me the greatest peace of mind along the way. Even called me all on her own to give me status as to where my case was in the process due to the courts being behind. Whatever follow-up system she uses is amazing, but I truly think it's her incredible work ethic. To all the people out there procrastinating a divorce because you fear the red tape, the delays, the long drawn-out process, don't do that. And don't try doing this on your own either. Just call Margo right from the start. You'll be so thankful you did! Margo- THANK YOU so much for everything you've done to help me start the new year off on the right path. You helped change my life for the better. read more

The first place that told me they could not do my paperwork to consult an attorney. I appreciate their honestly and highly recommend them for this reason. I believe they were truthful and upfront with me. Thank you so much. read more

Margo was very efficient and professional. She was able to move things along quickly. I would definitely recommend her services especially for important matters. read more

I called Margo regarding child support modification. I told her my situation and she told me the process and gave me a price right over the phone. She then asked a few follow up questions then advised me that I might be able to take care of my issue without her services and I should look into that option before I have her start the process. What integrity this woman has!! She could have just taken my money and gave me the results I wanted but instead she chose to give me another option that may work without her getting paid. Margo I appreciate your integrity and if what you suggested doesn't work out I am 100% coming back to you to take care of me. Thanks so much!! read more

I just spoke to her on the phone and although I didn't do business with her, I had to leave her a review. The honesty and transparency I got from her was impeccable. The only reason I didn't do business is because I'm already in a contract however, rather than tipping me off she was honest and told me my paperwork would get kicked back. She had the opportunity to make a quick dollar off of me but I am thankful she didn't. I wish I would have called her from the start. Amazing person. read more

Margo is very professional at what she does. She is very knowledgeable and caring about her customers. She is by far the best and will always be my number 1. Thank you! read more

I went to Margo to have my response prepared and needed them done fast as my deadline to respond was quickly approaching. She met up with me on a Saturday and had my documents done same day! read more

Very professional and answered any questions or concerns. Her assistance was greatly appreciated because she always kept me updated!

I needed help with my divorce filings and Margo was prompt to answer my questions and guide me through the process. My case was easy since both parties were in agreement. She prepared the documents, send them to the court (during COVID times) and then had both parties signed the documents. Divorce process is distressing enough as it is, she made the legal part easy for me and I am grateful for it. Her fees are very reasonable for the service provided. I highly recommend her services.

My parents were looking for someone to setup their living trust. I looked at yelp and saw that Above The Rest Document was number one in searches. There is a reason why it's number one. Margo was very patient with my parents and all of the questions that they asked her. Margo explained in great detail what was included in the living trust, how long the process would take, and what the cost would be. The living trust took place on 2 separate appointments. Margo again provided the information upfront. Margo also let me know how the status of the living trust was going and let me know that I can reach out to her with any questions. The final signing took place on June 7th. Margo provided me with the final paperwork and explained to me that I needed to go to the hall of records to file a specific document as soon as possible. Margo is very professional and you will not be disappointed in her work. Thank you again Margo for a smooth living trust process!!! read more
