~ The FALDP Story ~
The Beginning ...
In the spring of 2010, Ruth Tick, responded to a craigslist ad. The owner of a popular legal document site, needed someone to do research and write content for his site.
Ruth Tick went to work answering inquiries as they came in, sometimes as many as 30 a day. One day, Ruth emailed the site owner, and told him she had an idea. Later that day, when they spoke on the phone they discovered that they had both come up with the identical idea. FALDP was born!
The rest is history ... the site went live in May 2010.
Since May 2010, FALDP has:
- Published multiple pro se self-help ebooks and print editions,
- Added many informational pages,
- Published our newsletter "The FALDP Docket" every month since May 2010.

We work together to create a culture of collaboration among our members - colleagues first, competitors second. Our overarching goal is to assist pro se litigants. We, the members of the Florida Association of Legal Document Preparers, deeply believe that it is the right of all American consumers to have access to the legal system, regardless of income or education. It is our mission to deliver well researched legal information to consumers.
The FALDP mission embodies our quest and our goals. We offer legal information; and document preparation assistance. We hope that by educating consumers about their legal rights -- we will have done our part to give others hope.
The FALDP mission is a journey. We have only begun, there is much to do. We hope that the confidence gained through education and knowledge will empower consumers, so they may have a fighting chance to enforce or pursue their rights in a court of law.
